To change, click in the field and enter the new port symbolic name.
The port state that is currently active. This value may be different from the
administrative port state, for example due to an error condition.
The port state (Online, Offline, Diagnostics, or Down) saved in the switch
configuration, either by the user or at the factory. This value is persistent;
it will be maintained during a switch reset, and will be used after a reset to
set the port operational state.
The port speed that is currently active.
The port speed saved in the switch configuration.
The port type that is currently active.
The port type saved in the switch configuration. To change, click in the
field and select an option from the drop-down list.
The I/O Stream Guard option suppresses the Registered State Change
Notification (RSCN) messages on a port basis. I/O Stream Guard should
be enabled only on ports connected to initiator devices. To change, click
in the field and select an option from the drop-down list. The options are:
Enable - suppresses the reception of RSCN messages from other
ports for which I/O Stream Guard is enabled.
Disable - allows free transmission and reception of RSCN messages.
Auto - suppresses the reception of RSCN messages when the port is
connected to an initiator device with an HBA. The default is Auto.
The Device Scan feature queries the connected device during login for
FC-4 descriptor information. Disable this option only if the scan creates a
conflict with the connected device.
To propagate the same change to all selected ports, select the check box
before making a change to a port.
