SET PORT MODE REMOTE_FAILURE_ SIGNALING
SET PORT MODE
REMOTE_FAILURE_
SIGNALING
Use the SET PORT MODE REMOTE_FAILURE_SIGNALING command to establish
Remote Failure Signaling on redundant fiber links.
You can enable Remote Failure Signaling (RFS) for any of the four ports on the
ONline FOIRL and 10BASE-FL modules. When you connect two FOIRL Modules
and enable redundancy between two ports on one of the modules, you must
enable RFS on the corresponding ports of the other module.
For example, if you:
Enable redundancy between ports 1 and 2 on FOIRL Module #1 and these
ports are connected to ports 1 and 2 on Module #2, you must enable RFS
on ports 1 and 2 on Module #2.
Disable redundancy on the corresponding port or disable the port itself, RFS
disables automatically.
Refer to the ONline Ethernet FOIRL Module Installation Guide for more
information on RFS mode and the ONline Ethernet FOIRL and 10BASE-FL
modules.
Format
Example
The following command establishes Remote Failure Signaling for port 3 in slot 9:
CB5000> set port 9.3 mode remote_failure_signaling
Port 09.03 set to REMOTE FAILURE SIGNALING.
Related Command
SHOW PORT
slot.port Selects a port for remote failure signaling mode.
slot (1 through 17) is the number location of a module in the hub
and port (1 through 4) is the port number on the specified module.
For example, to specify port 4 on the with ID 6, enter
6.4
slot.
all
Selects a slot for remote failure signaling mode. For example, to
specify all ports on the slot with slot ID 6, enter
6.all
slot.
