Parameters
b. At the Insistent Domain ID field, check (enable) or uncheck
(disable) the parameter. When enabled, the value configured
in the Preferred Domain ID field becomes the active domain ID
when the fabric initializes.
c. At the Rerouting Delay field, check (enable) or uncheck
(disable) the parameter. When enabled, traffic is delayed
through the fabric by the user-specified error detect time out
value (E_D_TOV). This delay ensures Fibre Channel frames
are delivered to their destination in order.
d. At the Domain RSCNs field, check (enable) or uncheck
(disable) the parameter. When enabled, attached devices can
register to receive notification when other devices change
state.
e. At the Suppress Zoning RSCNs on Zone Set Activations field,
check (enable) or uncheck (disable) the parameter. When
enabled, RSCNs are not transmitted when a zone set is
activated.
f. At the NPIV field, check (enable) or uncheck (disable) N_Port
identifier virtualization. NPIV allows multiple (up to 256)
Fibre Channel addresses to be assigned to a node (N_Port).
