6.1.4.7 Enable / Disable Fabric Address Notification
Menu Path:
1) config
→
4) port
→
7) fan
Shortcut Command:
At the root menu, type
config port fan #
, where
#
is the desired FAN setting.
Description:
Fabric Address Notification (FAN) was added by the Fabric Loop Attach to provide a mechanism for the
FL_Port to notify logged-in NL_Ports of the FL_Port’s address, Port_Name, and Node_Name. The purpose of
FAN is to allow the FL_Port to provide information to all logged-in NL_Ports on an arbitrated loop following
loop initialization. The NL_Ports use this information to authenticate the address and identity of the FL_Port
before continuing exchanges in progress prior to the initialization.
When enabled, an initialization event occurs, the Fabric port sends a FAN Extended Link Service to all FLOGI-
logged-in, attached ports. These ports can then authenticate active Exchanges and operating parameters, such as
BB credits. FAN is available for public ports running in Fabric or Public/Private Communication Mode (FAN is
enabled by default in these conditions).
When this menu item is selected, the possible values are displayed.
[1] true
[2] false
FAN [1] =
In this example, Fabric Address Notification (FAN) is enabled. Press the <
Enter
> key to keep the current FAN
setting, or enter a new setting after the equal sign, then press the <
Enter
> key. The display will show OK,
indicating the new setting has been accepted.
6.1.4.8 Set Number of Frames Per Route Request
Menu Path:
1) config
→
4) port
→
8) stream
Shortcut Command:
At the root menu, type
config port stream #
, where
#
is the desired number of frames per route request.
Description:
This menu item enables the user to set the number of frames sent to a route request. The number of frames per
route request is the number of frames that will pass from, or are passed consecutively between, one port to
another in a round robin fashion. This prevents the other ports from starving out for data frames or holding too
much in their data buffers.
