Configuring the Director 6. Set the director online. For instructions, see “Setting Director Online State” on page 2–13. Fabric Parameters Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric. BB_Credit Configure the director to support buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) from 1 through 60.
Page 114: Interop Mode
Configuring the Director Setting these priority values determines the principal director selected for the multiswitch fabric. For example, if you have three directors in the fabric and set one as Principal, one as Default, and one as Never Principal, the unit set to Principal becomes the principal director in the fabric.

Configuring the Director Configuring Switch Binding For complete procedures on configuring this optional feature, refer to “Switch Binding” on page 6–7. Configuring Ports Use the procedures in this section to configure names, blocked and unblocked state, 10–100 km extended distance buffering, enable or disable link incident (LIN) alerts for ports, port type, port speed, Port Binding, and the WWN binding name.
Page 116 Configuring the Director enables the port to process 2K frames from attached devices. If this option is not enabled, the port uses the BB_Credit (1–60) configured through the Operating Parameters dialog box. If a device is connected and logged in to the fabric when extended distance is enabled or disabled on the corresponding port, the switch will send OLS for 5 ms to force the device to log in again and obtain the new BB_Credit value set for the port.
Page 117 Configuring the Director • Port Binding—Placing a check mark in the check boxes of this column enables the binding state of the port. • Speed—Click the Speed column for a specific port, and choose 2 Gb/sec, 1 Gb/sec, or Negotiate. This sets the data rate for the port. Choosing Negotiate allows the port to negotiate the data speed with an attached device.

See management information base. multicast Delivery of a single transmission to multiple destination N_Ports. Can be one to many or many to many. All members of the group are identified by one IP address. See also broadcast. multiswitch fabric Fibre Channel fabric created by linking more than one director or switching device within a fabric.
Page 223 Glossary N_Port See node port. offline sequence (OLS) Sequence sent by the transmitting port to indicate that it is attempting to initialize a link and has detected a problem in doing so. See offline sequence. Open Systems Management Server An optional feature that can be enabled on the director or switch through the Product Manager application.
Page 224 Glossary optical cable Fiber, multiple fibers, or a fiber bundle in a structure built to meet optical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. See also jumper cable, optical cable assembly, and trunk cable. optical cable assembly Optical cable that is connector-terminated. See also jumper cable and optical cable. optical fiber connector Hardware component that transfers optical power between two optical fibers or bundles and is designed to be repeatedly connected and disconnected.
Page 225 Glossary port name Name that the user assigns to a particular port through the Product Manager. POST See power-on self test. power-on self test (POST) Series of self-tests executed each time the unit is booted or reset. preferred domain ID Domain ID that a director or switch is assigned by the principal switch in a switched fabric.
Page 226 Glossary remote notification A process by which a system is able to inform remote users and/or workstations of certain classes of events that occur on the system. E-mail notification and the configuration of SNMP trap recipients are two examples of remote notification programs that can be implemented on director-class switches.
Page 227 Glossary Acronym for small form factor (a type of Fibre Channel connector). See also fiber port module card. simple Network management protocol (SNMP) A protocol that specifies a mechanism for network management that is complete, yet simple. Information is exchanged between agents, which are the devices on the network being managed, and managers, which are the devices on the network through which the management is done.
Page 228 Glossary StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager (HAFM) server Notebook computer shipped with a director to run the HAFM, Director 2/64 Product Manager applications. subnet mask Used by a computer to determine whether another computer with which it needs to communicate is located on a local or remote network. The network mask depends upon the class of networks to which the computer is connecting.
Page 229 Glossary trap host SNMP management workstation that is configured to receive traps. trunk cable Cable consisting of multiple fiber pairs that do not directly attach to an active device. This cable usually exists between distribution panels. See also optical cable, contrast with jumper cable.
Page 230 Glossary zone Set of devices that can access one another. All connected devices may be configured into one or more zones. Devices in the same zone can see each other. Those devices that occupy different zones cannot. zone member Specification of a device to be included in a zone. A zone member can be identified by the port number of the director to which it is attached or by its World Wide Name.
