Configure Switch Ports

Perform the procedure in this section to configure names and operating

characteristics for the switch ports.

To configure one or more ports:

1. Click Configure at the left side of the window. The Configure window opens

with the Ports tab displayed (Figure 38).

a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24 alphanumeric

characters or less in the associated Name field. The port name should

identify the device to which the port is attached.

b. Click the check box in the Blocked column to block or unblock a port

(default is unblocked). A check mark in the box indicates the port is

blocked. Blocking a port prevents the attached device from

communicating with the switch. A blocked port continuously transmits

the offline sequence (OLS).

c. Click the check box in the FAN column to enable or disable the fabric

address notification (FAN) feature (default is enabled). A check mark in

the box indicates FAN is enabled. When the feature is enabled, the port

transmits FAN frames after loop initialization to verify that FC-AL

devices are still logged in. HP recommends this option be enabled for

ports configured for loop operation.
