State
Current port name
User-defined name for a port
Port state that is currently active. This value may be different
from the administrative port state, for example, due to an error
condition.
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 is maintained during a switch reset, and
is used after a reset to set the port operational state.
Port speed that is currently active
Port speed saved in the switch configuration
Port type that is currently active
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 ports for which I/O Stream Guard is enabled.
 Disable—enables 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.
