Configuring Interswitch Links

This section describes optional ISL performance features configured through Configure menu
selections. Features include:
• Preferred path—Use the Preferred Path view 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 view 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.
Verify the LAN installation with the customer. If multiple products are installed or a public LAN
segment is used, network addresses must be changed to conform to the customer's LAN addressing
scheme.
