Figure 4-40. Converged Network Adapter FCoE Function—Firmware Parameters
The content pane contains the following configurable parameters:
Data Rate: This setting determines the adapter port data rate. The FCoE
ports can run at 10Gbps. When this setting is Auto, QConvergeConsole
determines what rate your system can accommodate and sets the rate
accordingly. The default is Auto.
Connection Options: This setting defines the type of connection (loop or
point-to-point) or connection preference. The FCoE port default setting is
Point to Point Only.
Frame Size: This setting specifies the maximum frame length supported by
the adapter. The default size is 2,048 for 10Gbps FCoE ports, which
provides maximum performance for F_Port (point-to-point) connections.
Login Retry Count: Specifies the number of times the software tries to log
in to a device. The default is eight retries for 82xx adapters and five for all
other adapters.
