tenths of a second (one through 120 seconds). Ten seconds

(100) is the recommended value.

R_A_TOV value must be greater than the E_D_TOV value.

tenths of a second (0.2 through 60 seconds). Two seconds

element must be set to the same E_D_TOV value. If the values are not

identical, the E_Port connection to the element segments and the

switch cannot communicate with the fabric. In addition, the

E_D_TOV value must be less than the R_A_TOV value.
