3. Type a label for this port in the Port Name field. This label is
displayed in the port tooltip, statistics, and other dialog boxes.
4. Port Speed: Click the Port Speed list and select either 1 Gigabit, 2
Gigabit, or Auto.
For the SAN Router, default port speed is Auto. With this setting,
the SAN Router automatically detects the speed supported by the
connection and sets it appropriately. You can manually configure
the port to 1 Gb/sec or 2 Gb/sec.
5. Select Enable Port to enable the selected port.
6. In the Fibre Channel Port Parameters, select one of the following
types to register RADs.
• FC Auto - Ports that automatically sense whether the type of
connection is F_Port or FL_Port.
• F_Port - A port to which non-loop N_Ports are attached.
• FL_Port - A port to which one or more NL_Ports in an
arbitrated loop are attached.
• L_Port - Private loop or Filer mode. In this mode, the port will
come up in loop mode without requesting devices to do
FLOGI; in other words, the connecting device is forced to be a
private device. Most NAS filers need the port to be configured
in this mode.
For Fibre Channel ports, the port WWN is displayed in a
read-only field.
