a. Type a port name of 24 alphanumeric characters or less, for
each port to be configured, in the Name field. The port name
should characterize the device to which the port is attached.
b. The switch provides a port buffer pool of 150 receive
BB_Credits. Each port can be assigned between two and 120
credits, provided the total credits allocated to all ports does
not exceed 150. The default value is six credits per port. Type
the desired value in the RX BB_Credit column.
c. Enable the check box in the LIN Alerts column to enable or
disable link incident (LIN) alerts (default is enabled). A check
mark indicates alerts are enabled. When enabled and a port
incident occurs, an alert indicator (yellow triangle) appears at
the Hardware View and a message is sent to e-mail recipients.
d. Enable the check box in the FAN column to enable or disable
the fabric address notification feature (default is enabled). A
check mark indicates FAN is enabled. When enabled, an
FL_Port transmits FAN frames after loop initialization to
verify FC-AL devices are still logged in.
e. Select from the drop-down list in the Type column to configure
the port type. Available selections are fabric port (F_Port),
expansion port (E_Port), generic port (G_Port), generic mixed
port (GX_Port), and fabric mixed port (FX_Port).
