Portcfgislmode - HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch Command Reference Manual

portCfgISLMode

Enables or disables ISL R_RDY mode on a port.
Synopsis
portcfgislmode [slotnumber/]portnumber, [mode]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable or disable ISL R_RDY mode on a port. If enabling ISL R_RDY mode on a port,
make sure the PID format is consistent across the entire fabric. See the
information on the core PID format.
ISL R_RDY mode sends ELP with Flow Control Mode 02 and enables connectivity with WAN gateway
products. If a port is ISL R_RDY mode-enabled, it can only receive ELP with Flow Control Mode 02; ELP
with Flow Control Mode 01 segments the fabric.
This mode cannot detect the PID format of connected ports. If the PID formats for two ISL R_RDY mode
ports are not the same, zoning drops frames.
This feature is persistent across reboots and power cycles.
