for you to enter the RX BB value)
Set all to maximum to set all ports to a maximum BB_Credit value. Maximum allowable
port BB_Credit values vary by director

An RX BB Credit Confirmation box displays.
In addition to the maximum BB-Credit limit per port, the total BB_Credits allocated to all ports
cannot exceed the buffer pool size.
NOTE: Only 24-Port switches have a switch-wide buffer pool. The Configure Ports dialog box
shows the total and available buffers at the bottom of the dialog box. When you change
information in the RX BB Credit column, the buffer information automatically updates. Ports for the
24-Port switches can be individually configured between 2-12, with a total number of port credits of
150.
e. Select the LIN Alerts box to enable or disable LIN alerts for a port.
A check in the box indicates alerts are enabled. When the feature is enabled and an
incident occurs on the link, an alert indicator (yellow triangle) appears at the Hardware
View, Port List View, and Port Card View pages, and a message is sent to configured e-mail
recipients. LIN alerts are enabled by default.
f. Select a Type box and select generic port (G_Port), fabric port (F_Port), or expansion port
(E_Port) from the list. If F_Port or E_Port is selected, the port will only operate as the port type
selected. If G_Port is selected, the port type is automatically detected and will operate as an
E_Port or F_Port.
g. Click the Speed box for a port.
