FIGURE 6 New switch added to existing fabric
When connecting two switches together, Brocade recommends the best practice that the following parameters are differentiated:
∙ Domain ID
∙ Switch name
∙ Chassis name
You must also verify the following fabric parameters are identical on each switch for a fabric to merge:
∙ R_A_TOV (Resource Allocation TimeOut Value)
∙ E_D_TOV (Error Detect TimeOut Value)
∙ Data Field Size
∙ Sequence Level Switching
∙ Disable Device Probing
∙ Suppress Class F Traffic
∙ Per-frame Route Priority
