On HP B-series (Brocade) FC switches, use the portCfgFillWord (portCfgFillWord <Port#>
<Mode>) command to configure this setting:
Mode Link Init/Fill Word
Mode 0
IDLE/IDLE
Mode 1
ARBF/ARBF
Mode 2
IDLE/ARBF
Mode 3
If ARBF/ARBF fails, use IDLE/ARBF
Modes 2 and 3 are compliant with FC-FS-3 specifications (standards specify the IDLE/ARBF behavior of
Mode 2, which is used by Mode 3 if ARBF/ARBF fails after 3 attempts). For most environments, Brocade
recommends using Mode 3, as it provides more flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of
devices. In the event that the default setting or Mode 3 does not work with a particular device, contact
your switch vendor for further assistance.
