Configuring the director94
Director Speed (Director 2/64 only)
NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the director off line. Be sure to set the director back
on line after you change this value.
When setting the director speed, consider the following:
• Configure port speeds individually through the Configure Ports dialog box. You cannot set a
director speed to less than the port speeds. If you set the director speed to 1 Gig and at least
one port is configured at 2 Gig, an error message is displayed stating that you cannot modify
the director speed.
• If you set the director data speed to 2 Gig, all installed CTP cards must support 2 Gb/s data
speeds or an error message is displayed stating that you cannot modify the director speed.
• When you change the speed to 2 Gig, all ports on Fibre Channel port module (FPM) cards go
to an inactive state. A warning/confirmation message is displayed, allowing you to continue the
operation or cancel. Only universal port module (UPM) cards allow 1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s
operation.
• Director firmware must support the 2 Gb/s data rate. If you set the speed to 2 Gig and the
firmware only supports 1 Gb/s, an error message is displayed stating that the feature is not
supported and providing the firmware level that will support the higher speed.
At the Director Speed field, click 1 Gig or 2 Gig to select the speed of Fibre Channel operation.
NOTE: Changing the director speed to 2 Gb/s with any 1 Gb/s FPM card installed will
cause the following warning/confirmation message to display: All FPM ports will be
held inactive while the director is configured to 2 Gb/sec speed.

Configuring fabric parameters
Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for fabric operation through the
Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the
switch.
1. Verify that the director is set off line. For instructions, see ”Setting on line state” on page 170.
CAUTION: Setting the director off line terminates all Fibre Channel connections.
