Port > General
Use the FC_MR Port > General subtab to provision the port parameters.
 
Port
Displays the card port number.
Port Name
Use an IP address or another name in the Port Name field. The preferred character limit for this field is 32; however, it is possible to exceed this limit when using long node names.
Admin State
Sets the port administration state. Choose an administrative state from the drop-down list and click Apply to change the port service state unless network conditions prevent the change. Admin states include:
 •
IS—Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to In-Service and Normal (IS-NR).
 •
OOS,DSBLD—Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD).
 •
OOS,MT—Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT). For loopbacks, the OOS,MT admin state must be initiated.
 •
IS,AINS—Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS).
Note
CTC will not allow you to change a port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. You must first change a port to the OOS-MA,MT service state before putting it in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state.
Service State
Displays the autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. For additional state information, see States.
Link Rate
Displays the actual rate of the port.
Max GBIC Rate
Displays the maximum GBIC rate. If the GBIC does not have this information in the EEPROM, “Contact GBIC vendor” appears.
Media Type
Sets the proper payload value for the transparent GFP (GFP-T) frames. Possible values are Fibre Channel - 1 Gbps, Fibre Channel - 2 Gbps, FICON 1 Gbps, FICON 2 Gbps, and Unknown.
Link Recovery
Enables or disables link recovery if a local port is inoperable. If enabled, a link reset occurs when there is a loss of transport from a cross-connect switch, protection switch, or an upgrade.
AINS Soak
Sets the automatic in-service soak timer, which is the amount of time before the traffic/termination transitions to the In Service (IS) state.
Apply
Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.
Reset
Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
Help
Displays context-sensitive help.
