TABLE 92 Fabric-wide settings
Field Type Default Range
Domain Number 1 Varies
R_A_TOV Number 10000 E_D_TOV * 2 to 120000
E_D_TOV Number 2000 1000 to R_A_TOV/2
WAN_TOV Number 0 0 to R_A_TOV/4
MAX_HOPS Number 7 7 to 19
4. For 8-Gbps platforms only, enter the portCfgFillword command to set ARB as the fill word. Refer to the Fabric OS Command
Reference for more information on configuring the fill word for a single 8G FC port.
portcfgfillword[slot/]port, mode
The mode parameter in this command should be set to 3 if the vc_translation_link_init parameter in the portCfgLongDistance
command (in the next step) is set to 1.
5. Enter the portCfgLongDistance command.
portcfglongdistance[slot/]port [distance_level] [vc_translation_link_init
[-distance desired_distance]
6. Repeat step 4 and step 5 for the remote extended ISL port. Both the local and remote extended ISL ports must be configured
to the same distance_level . When the connection is initiated, the fabric will reconfigure.
The following example configures slot 1, port 2 to support a 100-km link in LS mode and to use the extended link initialization
sequence. This example is for an 8-Gbps platform.
