7.1.5 Fibre Channel configuration commands
The Fibre Channel ports are configured with default settings but may be customized using the CLI
commands in this section.
CLI commands are case insensitive (upper and
lower case allowed anywhere).
FcAck0
Specifies whether ACK0 or ACK1 will be returned in response to a Class 2 FC data frame or sequence.
Limits: Enable sends ACK0 at the end of a sequence. Disable returns an ACK1 frame for each data frame.
Action: set FcAck0 [enabled | disabled]
SaveConfiguration
FcClass2
Specifies if the FibreBridge will support Fibre Channel Class 2 (multiplexed) service.
Limits: [enabled | disabled]
Action: set FcClass2 [enabled | disabled]
SaveConfiguration
FcConnMode
Controls/reports the connection mode the FibreBridge uses when communication across a Fibre Channel network, either to an arbitrated loop (FC-
AL) when you select loop mode, or point-to-point when you choose ptp.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Actions: set FcConnMode [loop | ptp]
SaveConfiguration
FcFairArb
Turns the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) arbitration fairness on or off. Enabling this feature causes the FibreBridge to follow the arbitra-
tion fairness rules on the FC-AL.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Actions: setFcFairArb [enabled | disabled]
SaveConfiguration
FcFrameLength
Specifies the maximum number of payload bytes (the maximum size) in a Fibre Channel frame. If not specified in the set command, current frame
length is displayed. The active frame length is always negotiated with the host, hub or switch.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Actions: set FcFrameLength [512 | 1024 | 2048]
SaveConfiguration
FcFullDuplex
FcFullDuplex enabled allows full duplex Fibre Channel communication between the FibreBridge and other Fibre Channel devices. Disable
FcFullDuplex results in half duplex mode.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Actions: setFcFullDuplex [enabled | disabled]
