Configure interswitch links
This section describes optional ISL performance features configured
through the SAN management or Element Manager applications.
Features include:
• OpenTrunking - Use the OpenTrunking option from the Configure
menu (Element Manager application) to optimize ISL bandwidth.
The feature monitors data rates (congestion and BB_Credit
starvation) through multiple ISLs and load balances traffic (from
congested to uncongested links) accordingly.
• Preferred path - Use the Preferred Path option from the Configure
menu (Element Manager application) to specify and configure
one or more ISL data paths between multiple fabric elements. At
each fabric element, a preferred path consists of a source port, exit
port, and destination Domain_ID.
• Port fencing - Use the Port Fencing option from the Configure
menu (SAN management application) to minimize ISLs that
bounce (repeatedly attempt to establish a connection), causing
disruptive fabric rebuilds. Fencing defines a bounce threshold
that when reached, automatically blocks the disruptive E_Port.
To configure optional features, refer to the SANavigator Software
