Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide 451
Enables or disables ISL R_RDY mode on a port.
Synopsis
portcfgislmode [slotnumber/]portnumber, [mode]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable or disable ISL R_RDY mode on a port. If enabling ISL R_RDY mode on a port,
make sure the PID format is consistent across the entire fabric. See the configure command for more
information on the core PID format.
ISL R_RDY mode sends ELP with Flow Control Mode 02 and enables connectivity with WAN gateway
products. If a port is ISL R_RDY mode-enabled, it can only receive ELP with Flow Control Mode 02; ELP
with Flow Control Mode 01 segments the fabric.
This mode cannot detect the PID format of connected ports. If the PID formats for two ISL R_RDY mode
ports are not the same, zoning drops frames.
This feature is persistent across reboots and power cycles.
Use the portCfgShow command to view whether ISL R_RDY mode is enabled on a port.
NOTE: The portCfgISLMode and portCfgLongDistance mode both cannot be enabled at the
same time; otherwise, fabric segmentation occurs.

slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to display,
followed by a slash (/).
portnumber Specify the port number to display, relative to its slot for bladed systems.
Use switchShow to list valid ports.
mode Specify 1 to enable ISL R_RDY mode. Specify 0 to disable ISL R_RDY
mode.

ISL R_RDY Mode is enabled for port 3. Please make sure the PID
formats are consistent across the entire fabric.
