• Suppress Class F Traffic: Use this parameter to disable class F traffic. Some network-bridge devices
might not have a provision for handling class F frames. In this case, the transmission of class F frames
must be suppressed throughout the entire Remote Switch fabric.
To set the access and reconfigure these parameters:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
3. Issue the configure command.
4. At the Fabric Parameters prompt, enter yes.
5. Press Enter to scroll through the Fabric Parameters without changing their values, until you reach the
parameter you want to modify.
6. Specify a new parameter value that is compatible with your gateway device.
7. Press Enter to scroll through the remainder of the configuration parameters. Make sure that the
configuration changes are committed to the switch.
8. Repeat this procedure for all switches in the fabrics to be connected through a gateway device.
These parameters must be identical on each switch in the fabric and between fabrics connected
through the gateway device.
The following example shows how to modify the data field size and suppress class F traffic on a switch:
switch:admin> switchdisable
switch:admin> configure
