(default is unblocked). A check mark in the box indicates a port is
blocked. Blocking a port prevents the attached devices or HP products in
the fabric from communicating. A blocked port continuously transmits

c. Click the check box in the FAN column to enable or disable the fabric
address notification (FAN) feature (default is enabled). (The FAN column

a FAN frame after loop initialization to verify that Fibre Channel

check mark in the box indicates extended distance buffering is enabled.
