Configuring CSCTL
6
NOTE
Changing from one combination to another is a disruptive operation. It may cause connected ports
to become No_Sync. The 10 GE license is required in order to set a port to 10 Gbps speed.
To configure the port octet speed combination, perform the following steps.
1. Select the Port Admin tab.
2. Select View > Advanced mode.
3. Select the FC Ports tab.
4. In the FC Ports Explorer dialog box, select a port to configure.

The Port Octet Speed Combination dialog box displays.

6. Select a Speed Combination and click OK.
Configuring CSCTL
Unlike QoS Zone-based FC flow prioritization method, CSCTL enables the same SID/DID pair
exchange frames with different priorities.
To be able to prioritize a frame flow between two end nodes, Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later provide
support for up to 32 virtual channels (VCs) per port. This categorizes the frames entering into a
fabric on the basis of preset behavior defined with these VCs, and conserves the frame’s behavior
until it is transmitted out of fabric. However, out of the 32 VCs for each external port, only 16 are
used.
