Concept Guide

NOTE: You can only edit these settings for M1000e and FN IOA devices in standalone or VLT mode.
Configuring Uplink Failure Detection (Port Configuration Page)
Uplink Failure Detection (UFD) provides detection of the loss of upstream connectivity. If there is a link
failure, the I/O Aggregator device disables downlink interfaces.
NOTE: You can only configure these settings for M1000e and FN IOA devices in standalone or VLT
mode.
You can configure this feature the Initial Setup Wizard. But if you need to change its configuration
afterwards, you can enable or disable UFD from the Port Configuration page.
1. From the navigation menu, click Port Configuration.
2. In the Uplink Failure Detection (UFD) section, click Edit.
The Uplink Failure Detection dialog box appears.
3. To configure uplink failure detection, select Enabled or select Disabled to disable it.
4. If you select Enabled, configure a timer setting that prevents unwanted flapping of downstream ports
when the uplink port channel goes down and comes up. The configured value in seconds is how
long the device waits for the upstream port channel (LAG 128) to come back up before it disables the
server ports. Select one of the following:
• Default Defer Timer (10 sec)
NOTE: If you select this setting, if the uplink goes down, the device disables the downlink
within 10 seconds.
• Custom Defer Timer (enter a setting in seconds from 0 to 100)
5. Click Apply.
Combo Port
Ports 9 and 10 in FN2210S SKU FN IOA for FX2 chassis devices can work either as Ethernet ports or Fibre
Channel ports. Ethernet ports handle common traffic. Fibre Channel ports connect to a Storage Area
Network (SAN).
NOTE: You can only edit these settings for FN IOA devices in standalone or VLT mode.
Configuring Combo Port Settings (Port Configuration Page)
For FN IOA for FX2 chassis devices (except when in Programmable Multiplex or Full Switch mode), you
can configure ports 9 and 10 to work as Ethernet ports or Fibre Channel ports.
NOTE: You can only configure these settings for FN IOA devices in standalone or VLT mode.
You can configure this feature the Initial Setup Wizard. But if you need to change its configuration
afterwards, you can do so from the Port Configuration page.
1. From the navigation menu, click Port Configuration.
2. In the Combo Port section, click Edit.
The Combo Port Settings dialog box appears.
3. In the Port Type field, make one of the following selections:
• Ethernet
• Fibre Channel
4. Click Apply.
