Configuring switched point-to-point FICON

8. Enter the switchEnable command to set the switch online.
9. Enter the trackChangesSet command to enable or disable the track-changes feature and to
configure the SNMP-TRAP mode.
10. Enter the fabricPrincipal command on the switch you want to be the principal switch.
In cascaded fabrics, only one switch should be the principal. In core-edge designs, the director
class switch should be the principal.
11. Enter the portCfgSpeed command to configure port speeds.
By default, all ports are configured to auto-negotiate. Normally, the only time the port
configuration is changed is when connecting to 1 Gbps ports. Some DWDM ports are known
not to auto-negotiate well. Furthermore, although older 1 Gbps FICON channels log in correctly,
they will generate errors, so the speed should be forced to 1 Gbps with 1 Gbps FICON
channels.
NOTE
8 Gbps ports will not auto-negotiate to 1 Gbps and cannot be configured for 1 Gbps. 16 Gbps
ports will not auto-negotiate to 2 Gbps or 1 Gbps.

values such as:
• RSCN only contains single PID
