edge switch 2/16 service manual 1–9
General InformationI
the creation of a single fabric. A segmented link transmits only Class F traffic; the
link does not transmit Class 2 or Class 3 traffic. The following conditions cause
ports to segment:
— Incompatible operating parameters - either the resource allocation time-out
value (R_A_TOV) or error-detect time-out value (E_D_TOV) is inconsistent
between switches. To prevent port segmentation, the same E_D_TOV and
R_A_TOV must be specified for each switch.
— Duplicate domain IDs - one or more domain ID conflicts are detected.
— Incompatible zoning configurations - zoning configurations for the
switches are not compatible.
— Build fabric protocol error - a protocol error is detected during the process
of forming the fabric.
— No principal switch - no switch in the fabric is capable of becoming the
principal switch.
NOTE: At least one director or switch in a multi-switch fabric must be set to either principal or
default, making it capable of becoming principal switch. If all directors and switches are set to
never principal, all ISLs will segment (Reason code 05).
— Unresponsive switch - Each switch in a fabric periodically verifies operation
of all attached switches. An ISL segments if the attached switch does not
respond to a verification request.
— ELP retransmission failure timeout-a switch that exhibits a hardware
failure or connectivity problem cannot transmit or receive Class F frames. The
switch did not receive a response to multiple exchange link protocol (ELP)
frames, did not receive a fabric login (FLOGI) frame, and cannot join an
operational fabric.
