Datafield Size Use to configure (in bytes) the largest possible data field size. The
valid range is 256 – 2112.
Sequence Level Switching Select check box to enable frames of the same sequence from a
particular group to be transmitted together. When this option is
not selected, frames are transmitted interleaved among multiple
sequences. Under normal circumstances, sequence-level switching
should be disabled for better performance. However, some host
adapters have issues when receiving interleaved frames among
multiple sequences.
Suppress Class F Traffic When checked, translative addressing (which allows private
devices to communicate with public devices) is disabled.
Switch PID Format Allows you to select a switch PID format from one of the following:
■ VC encoding – Set this format only if the fabric includes a
Fibre Channel Storage Switch 8 or Fibre Channel Storage
Switch 16. When set, the frame source and destination
address use an address format that is compatible with Fibre
Channel Storage Switch 8 and Fibre Channel Storage Switch
16.
■ Format 0 (16-port encoding) – Native format
■ Format 1 (0-base, 256-port encoding) – Core PID format
■ Format 2 (16-base, 256-port encoding) – Extended-edge PID
format
VC Encoded Address
Mode
Set this mode only if the fabric includes a Fibre Channel Storage
Switch 8 or Fibre Channel Storage Switch 16. When set, the
frame source and destination address use an address format that
is compatible with Fibre Channel Storage Switch 8 and Fibre
Channel Storage Switch 16.
This option is grayed out if the switch is in interop mode.
