a. At the R_A_TOV field, type a value between 10 through 1200
tenths of a second (one through 120 seconds). Ten seconds
(100) is the recommended value. The R_A_TOV value must
exceed the E_D_TOV value.
b. At the E_D_TOV field, type a value between 2 through 600
tenths of a second (0.2 through 60 seconds). Two seconds (20)

selections are Default, Principal, and Never Principal.
Principal is the highest priority setting, Default is next, and
Never Principal is the lowest. At least one switch in a fabric
must be set as Principal or Default. If all switches are set to
Never Principal, all ISLs segment.

operating mode. This setting affects the management mode
