If the addressed connUnit allows this operation to be performed to this port, the addressed port
performs a vendor-specific reset operation. Examples of these operations are:
• The Link Reset protocol.
• The Loop Initialization protocol.
• Re-synchronization occurring between the transceiver in the addressed port to the
transceiver that the port is connected to.
• bypassConnUnitPort:
If the addressed connUnit allows this operation to be performed to this port, the addressed port
performs a vendor-specific “bypass” operation. Examples of these operations are:
• Transitioning from online to offline.
• A request (NON-PARTICIPATING) command to the Loop port state machine.
• Removal of the port from an arbitrated loop by a hub.
• unbypassConnUnitPort:
If the addressed connUnit allows this operation to be performed to this port, the addressed port
performs a vendor-specific “unbypass” operation. Examples of these operations are:
• The Link Failure protocol.
• A request (PARTICIPATING) command to the Loop port state machine.
• Addition of the port to an arbitrated loop by a hub.
• offlineConnUnitPort:
If the addressed connUnit allows this operation to be performed to this port, the addressed port
performs a vendor-specific offline operation. Examples of these operations are:
• Disabling a port's transceiver
• The Link Failure protocol
• Request (NON-PARTICIPATING) command to the Loop port state machine removal of
the port from an arbitrated loop by a hub
• onlineConnUnitPort:
If the addressed connUnit allows this operation to be performed to this port, the addressed port
performs a vendor-specific online operation. Examples of these operations are:
• Enabling a port's transceiver
• The Link Failure protocol, request(PARTICIPATING) command to the Loop port state
machine
• Addition of the port from an arbitrated loop by a hub.
Each implementation may choose not to allow any or all of these values on a SET.
If the Management Station uses in-band communication (FC-IP) with the switch, either of
the two following action may result in a loss of in-band communication with the switch:
• Disabling the FC port that is connected to the Management Station.
• Disabling the embedded port.
