Configure switch and fabric parameters

Perform this procedure to configure the following switch and fabric operating parameters:

Buffer-to-Buffer Credit (BB_Credit), Error Detect Time Out Value (E_D_TOV), and Resource Allocation

Time Out Value (R_A_TOV), preferred domain ID and switch priority.

Configure switch parameters

The switch must be set offline to configure switch operating parameters. To configure the

parameters:

1. Set the switch offline as follows:

a. At the View window, select Operations at the left side of the panel. The Operations panel

opens with the Switch Beacon page displayed.

b. At the Current State window, click Set Offline. The message Your operations changes

have been successfully activated is displayed.

2. At the View window, select Configure at the left side of the panel. The Configure panel opens

with the Ports page displayed.

3. At the Configure panel, click the Switch tab, then select the Parameters tab. The Switch page is

displayed with Switch Parameters shown (Figure 45).

4. Set the switch parameters:

a. In the Preferred Domain ID field, enter a value from 1 through 31 (default is 1). The domain

ID uniquely identifies each switch in a fabric.

NOTE: All fabric-attached switches must have unique domain IDs. If the value is not unique,

the E_Port connection to the switch segments and the switch cannot communicate with the

fabric.
