Ingress Idle Filtering
If checked, prevents removal of excess Fibre Channel/FICON IDLE codes from SONET transport. IDLEs are 8b10b control words that are sent between frames or when there is no data to send. Ingress idle filtering applies only to SONET circuit bandwidth sizes that allow full line rate Fibre Channel/FICON transport. It can be used for interoperability with remote Fibre Channel/FICON over third-party SONET equipment.
Maximum Frame Size
Sets the maximum size of a valid frame. Possible values are 2148 through 2172. This setting prevents oversized performance monitoring accumulation for frame sizes that are above the Fibre Channel maximum. This can occur for Fibre Channel frames with added virtual SAN (VSAN) tags that are generated by the Cisco MDS 9000 switches.
