Hot Standby Backup Port - This option allows you to take advantage
of redundant hardware such as dual-ported FC-AL hard drives. The hub
provides the capability to designate a port as a hot-standby port. This
can be used when cascading two hubs together or when attaching a dual-
ported FC device such as a hard drive to a hub to provide link
redundancies. Should the primary connection fail, the backup link
becomes active and network operation is not interrupted.
Cut-in delay - This is a variant of the Authorized Cut-in feature
discussed above. Some devices will generate invalid data when they
boot up. By doing so, they restrict the loop from completing loop
initialization. To avoid disruption of the loop during device boot-up, the
user can specify a Cut-In Delay. When the hub first detects that a device
connected to the port is ready to join the loop, it will use the specified
Cut-In Delay to keep the device bypassed from the loop until the delay
period has expired.
