Controllable ports

All ports have a Controllable attribute visible from the Advanced Mode, which represents a
combination of the RBAC and Admin Domain permissions.
The Controllable attribute is No when non-owned E_Ports and indirect member ports on non-owned
switches are accessible in read-only mode and are not controllable, regardless of RBAC
permissions. Additionally, if you are logged in with read-only permission, the Controllable attribute
displays No for all ports.
The Controllable attribute is Yes for ports that are directly owned by the current Admin Domain and
for all ports on switches that are owned by the current Admin Domain, if your role gives you Modify
permission for ports. If a port is controllable, all configuration functionality is enabled.
Ports on a non-owned switch that are not E_Ports and are neither direct nor indirect members of
the current Admin Domain are inaccessible and are not displayed in the Port Administration
window.

Configuring FC ports

With the FC Port Configuration wizard, you can configure allowed port types, port speed, and long
distance mode for physical ports.
You must use Web Tools with the EGM license enabled on the switch to configure long distance;
otherwise, access to this feature is denied and an error message displays.
The EGM license is required only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the following:
