ports.
To configure switch Fibre Channel ports:
1.

Figure 42
Configure Ports tab
a. For each port to be configured, enter a port name of 24 or fewer alphanumeric characters in
the associated Name field. The port name should identify the device to which the port is
attached.
b. Click the check box in the Blocked column to block or unblock a port (default is unblocked).
A check mark in the box indicates the port is blocked. Blocking a port prevents the attached
device from communicating with the switch. A blocked port continuously transmits the offline
sequence (OLS).
c. Click the check box in the FAN column to enable or disable the fabric address notification
(FAN) feature (default is enabled). A check mark in the box indicates FAN is enabled. When
the feature is enabled, the port transmits a FAN frame after loop initialization to verify that
FC-AL devices are still logged in. HP recommends enabling this option for ports configured
for loop operation.
d. Click the port type from the Type drop-down list. Available selections are:
• Generic mixed port (GX_Port)–Use this selection to configure a port as a generic loop
port (GL_Port). This selection is available only if enabled through an optional feature key.
• Fabric mixed port (FX_Port)–Use this selection to configure a port as a fabric loop port
(FL_Port).
• Generic port (G_Port)–This selection is available only if enabled through an optional
feature key.
