Timeout Values

The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch.
The timeout values must be the same for all switches in the fabric.
R_A_TOV (Resource Allocation Timeout) — the maximum time a frame
could be delayed and still be delivered. The default is 10000 milliseconds.
E_D_TOV (Error Detect Timeout) — the maximum round trip time that an
operation between two N_Ports could require. The default is 2000
milliseconds.
NOTE:
Mismatched timeout values will disrupt the fabric. These should not be
changed unless absolutely necessary. The switch is temporarily placed
offline to change these values.
