Synopsis configure
Description Use this command to change the following system configuration settings for the switch:
• “Switch Fabric Settings”
• “Virtual Channel Settings”
• “F_Port Login Parameters”
• “Zoning Operation Parameters”
• “RSCN Transmission Mode”
• “Arbitrated Loop Parameters”
• “System Services Settings”
• “Portlog Events Enable/Disable Settings”

If executed on an enabled switch, only the application attribute can be configured. To access all
parameters controlled by this command, you must disable the switch using the switchDisable
command.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
The configure command is navigated using a series of hierarchical menus. Each top-level menu
and its associated submenus consist of a text prompt, a list of acceptable values, and a default
value (in brackets).
Use the following options to control input:
ReturnWhen entered at a prompt with no preceding input, accepts the default value (if applicable)
and moves to the next prompt.
Interrupt (Ctrl-C) Aborts the command immediately and ignores all changes made.
End-of-file (Ctrl-D) When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, terminates the command
and saves changes made.
Switch Fabric Settings
There are several settings that control the overall behavior and operation of the fabric. Some of
these, such as the domain, are assigned automatically by the fabric and might differ from one
switch to another in the fabric. Other parameters, such as the BB credit or the timeout values, can
be changed for specific applications or operating environments but must be in agreement among
all switches to allow formation of the fabric.
The Switch Fabric Settings are as follows:
