Configuring Global Attributes for Fibre Channel Interfaces
This section describes configuration for global attributes that apply to all Fibre Channel interfaces on
the switch. This section includes the following topics:

Configuring Switch Port Attribute Default Values
You can configure attribute default values for various switch port attributes. These attributes will be
applied globally to all future switch port configurations, even if you do not individually specify them at
that time.
To configure switch port attributes, perform this task:

Configuring Global Attributes for Fibre Channel Interfaces
Purpose
Applies the default operational value to the selected
interface. The operational value depends on the port
mode. The default values are assigned based on the port
capabilities.
Assigns a BB_credit of 5 to the selected interface. The
range to assign BB_credits is between 1 and 64.
Assigns this value if the port is operating in E or TE
mode. The range to assign BB_credits is between 1 and
64.
Assigns this value if the port is operating in F mode. The
range to assign BB_credits is between 1 and 64.
Displays the receive and transmit BB_credit along with
other pertinent interface information for this interface.
The BB_credit values are correct at the time the
Note
registers are read. They are useful to verify
situations when the data traffic is slow.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
