420 Fabric OS commands
Enables or disables ISL R_RDY mode on a port.
Synopsis
portcfgislmode [slotnumber/]portnumber, [mode]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable or disable ISL R_RDY mode on a port. If enabling ISL R_RDY mode on a port,
make sure the PID format is consistent across the entire fabric. Refer to the configure command for more
information on the core PID format.
ISL R_RDY mode sends ELP with Flow Control Mode 02 and enables connectivity with WAN gateway
products. If a port is ISL R_RDY mode-enabled, it can only receive ELP with Flow Control Mode 02; ELP
with Flow Control Mode 01 segments the fabric.
This mode cannot detect the PID format of connected ports. If the PID formats for two ISL R_RDY mode
ports are not the same, zoning drops frames.
This feature is persistent across reboots and does not require a license key.
Use the portCfgShow command to view whether ISL R_RDY mode is enabled on a port.
NOTE: The portCfgISLMode and portCfgLongDistance mode both cannot be enabled at the
same time; otherwise, fabric segmentation occurs.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
portCfgISLMode
slotnumber Specify the slot number for a Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Director 2/128.
For all other switches, this operand is not required. The slot number must
be followed by a slash ( / ) and the port number, so that each port is
represented by both slot number (1 through 4 or 7 through 10) and port
number (0 through 15).
The Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 have a total of 10 slots.
Slot numbers 5 and 6 are control processor cards; slots 1 through 4 and
7 through 10 are port cards. On each port card, there are 16 ports,
counted from the bottom, numbered 0 to 15.
portnumber Specify a port number. Valid values for port number vary, depending on
the switch type. This operand is required.
mode Specify 1 to enable ISL R_RDY mode. Specify 0 to disable ISL R_RDY
mode. This operand is required.
