Configuring a VFC interface to reject incoming RCF
requests
In a stable fabric, to avoid unnecessary disruptive reconfigurations, you can configure a VFC interface to
reject RCF requests received in a VSAN. With this feature, the switch replies with a reject message and
isolates the interface that receives an RCF request.
To configure a VFC interface to reject received RCF requests:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VFC interface view.
3. Configure the VFC interface to
reject RCF requests received in
a VSAN.

Enabling SNMP notifications

After you enable SNMP notifications for the fabric module or name service module, that module
generates notifications for important events and sends the notifications to the SNMP module. For more
information about SNMP notifications, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
To enable SNMP notifications:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable SNMP
notifications for the fabric
module.
3. Enable SNMP
notifications for the name
service module.

Configuring RSCN aggregation

RSCN

An FC switch uses a name service database to store information about registered nodes on the local
switch and on remote switches in the fabric. The switch sends Registered State Change Notifications
(RSCNs) to inform node information changes (node registration, node deregistration, or registration
information change). An RSCN includes only the FC address of the node where the change occurred.
When a change occurs, the switch sends ELS_RSCNs to its concerned registered nodes and SW-RSCNs
to all reachable switches in the fabric. After receiving an RSCN, a switch or node automatically sends a
name service query to obtain the new information. The switch receiving an RSCN also sends ELS_RSCNs
