• If a port is configured with CSCTL_mode enabled, you can configure it as a SIM port.
• If a port has an Ingress Rate Limit set, you can configure it as a SIM port.
• If a port is configured as a SIM port:
‐ You cannot enable QoS.
‐ You cannot enable CSCTL_mode.
‐ You can set an Ingress Rate Limit.
• The following features of a SIM port are persistent across a reboot:
‐ Each SIM port is assigned a PID and is displayed in a switchShow command.
‐ Each SIM port’s Port Worldwide Name by default is the switch Port Worldwide Name
(PWWN), unless a user-defined Virtual Port Worldwide Name is assigned to it.
‐ Each SIM port registers itself into the Name Server database.
Identifying SIM ports
In order to distinguish SIM ports from other devices, the Name Server commands show “Port
Properties: SIM Port”, as called out in the following example:
switch:admin> nscamshow
nscam show for remote switches:
