Using HAFM to configure the Edge Switch50
9. Click Activate to enable all configured preferred paths and close the dialog box.
Configuring ports
Perform this procedure to define Fibre Channel port names, configure ports as blocked or
unblocked, enable extended distance operation and link incident (LIN) alerts, configure port
binding, and define port types.
1. At the Hardware view for the selected Edge Switch, select Configure > Ports.
The Configure Ports dialog box is displayed (Figure 23).
a. Select a blank Name box and enter a descriptive port name of 24 or fewer alphanumeric
characters. Use a name that reflects the device connected to the port.
b. Select or clear the Blocked check box to block or unblock a port.
A check mark in the box indicates the port is blocked. Blocking the port prevents the
attached device from communicating with the Edge Switch. A blocked port continuously
transmits the offline sequence (OLS).

c. Perform one of the following actions, depending on which column you have displayed in
your Configure Ports dialog box.
•Click 10–100 km to enable extended distance buffering for a port.
A check mark in the box indicates extended distance operation up to 100 kilometers
(through repeaters) is enabled.
