Clearing a stale entry

A stale entry is a device that logged in and logged off but, because a port went down after an FLOGI
was received, the device failed to receive the message. The entry in the FCoE Connected Devices
table becomes stale and you must clear it manually.
1. Select a virtual FCoE port from the FCoE Configuration dialog box and click Connected Devices.
2. Select one or more rows from the Connected Devices table and click Disconnect.
3. Click OK.
4. Review the changes carefully before you accept them.
5. Click Start to apply the changes, or click Close to abort the operation.

The Connected Devices dialog box displays.
The CEE Confirmation and Status dialog displays.
The selected connected device should be cleared from the switch cache and from the table.
Note, however, that the connected devices might still be active and this operation could
potentially stop traffic between the connected devices and the switch.
On closing the CEE Confirmation and Status dialog box, the FCoE Configuration Dialog
refreshes the data and the latest information about the FCoE ports are displayed.
