Configure Switch and Fabric Parameters

Perform this procedure to configure the following switch and fabric operating

parameters: Buffer-to-Buffer Credit (BB_Credit), Error Detect Time Out Value

(E_D_TOV), and Resource Allocation Time Out Value (R_A_TOV), preferred

domain ID, and switch priority.

Configure Switch Parameters

The switch must be set offline to configure operating parameters. To configure the

parameters:

1. Set the switch offline as follows:

a. Choose Operations >Online State to display the Online State tab.

b. Click Set Offline. The message “Your changes have been

successfully activated” displays.

2. Click Configure at the left side of the panel. The Configure panel opens with

the Ports page displayed.

3. Choose Switch >Parameters to display the Operating Parameters tab

(Figure 41).

4. Set the switch parameters:

a. In Preferred Domain ID, enter a value between 1 and 31 (default is 1).

The domain ID uniquely identifies each switch in a fabric.

All fabric-attached switches must have unique domain IDs. If the value is

not unique, the E_Port connection to the switch segments and the switch

cannot communicate with the fabric.
