8-22 CHAPTER 8: ADMINISTERING FDDI RESOURCES
To set the lerCutoff:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi port lerCutoff
You are prompted for a port number and an estimated link error rate value
at which the link connection will be broken.
2 Enter the port number.
3 Enter the estimated link error rate value.
Valid exponent values are -4 through -15. Even though these are negative
exponents, enter the value without the negative symbol. For example, to
express the value 1 x 10
-7
, enter 7 as the value.
Setting Port Labels Port labels serve as useful reference points and as an accurate means of
identifying your ports for management. You may want to label your FDDI
ports for easy identification of the devices attached to them (for example,
workstation, server, FDDI backbone).
To label an FDDI port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi port label
You are prompted for a port number and a label value.
2 Enter the port number.
3 Enter the label value.
