NOTE:
dialog box displays the total and available buffers at the bottom of the dialog box. When
information is changed in the RX BB Credit column, the buffer information is also updated. If
information is entered that exceeds the buffer pool and Activate is clicked, an error message
is displayed. Also, ports for the 24-Port Edge Switches can be individually configured
between 2–12, with a total number of port credits of 150.
Right-clicking in the RX-BB Credit column displays an RX BB Credits dialog box. For Edge
Switches without buffer pools, this dialog box allows you to select Set all, which sets all ports
to a single value, or Set all to maximum, which sets all ports to a maximum BB credit value.
For Edge Switches with buffer pools, this dialog box allows you to select Set all, which sets all
ports to a single value, or Distribute, which evenly distributes the pool buffers among all
ports. Clicking OK changes the values in the Configure Port dialog box. Clicking Activate
changes the values on the Edge Switch.
d. Select or clear the LIN Alerts check box to enable or disable LIN alerts for a port.
A check mark in the box indicates alerts are enabled. When the feature is enabled and an
incident occurs on the link, an alert indicator (yellow triangle) is displayed at the Hardware
view, Port List view, and Port Card view; and a message is sent to configured e-mail
recipients. LIN alerts are enabled by default.
e. Click Type for a specified port and select generic port (G_Port), fabric port (F_Port), or
expansion port (E_Port) from the list box.
f. Click Speed for a specified port and select 1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, or Negotiate as the desired
setting, depending on the speed capability of the device to be plugged into the port.
TIP: Right-clicking in the Speed column allows you to select from a menu to set all ports to
1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, or Negotiate.
g. Select a Port Binding check box to enable WWN binding for the selected port. This allows
only a specific device to attach to the port. This device is specified by the WWN or
nickname entered into the Bound WWN column. With the check box cleared, any device
can attach to the port even if a WWN or nickname is specified in the Bound WWN column.
or
Enter a world wide name (WWN) in the Bound WWN box in the proper format
(xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured through the Element Manager
application. The device with this WWN or nickname will have exclusive attachment to the
port if Port Binding is enabled. If a valid WWN or nickname is not entered in this box, but
the Port Binding check box is enabled, no devices can connect to the port. If you enter a
WWN or nickname in this box and do not enable the Port Binding check box, the WWN or
nickname will be stored, and all devices can connect to the port.
