All fabric-attached switches must be set to the same R_A_TOV. If the

value is not compatible, the E_Port connection to the switch segments and

the switch cannot communicate with the fabric. In addition, the

R_A_TOV must be greater than the E_D_TOV.

c. At the E_D_TOV field, enter a value from 2 through 600 tenths of a

second (0.2 through 60 seconds). The default is 20 tenths of a second

(2 seconds).

All fabric-attached switches must be set to the same E_D_TOV. If the

value is not compatible, the E_Port connection to the switch segments and

the switch cannot communicate with the fabric. In addition, the

E_D_TOV must be less than the R_A_TOV.

field, select Principal, Never Principal, or Default (the default setting is

Default).

and switches, as well as other open-fabric compliant switches. Select

this mode for managing heterogeneous fabrics.
