CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Configuration
Min Transmit Priority
The minimum Token-Ring frame priority that will be used for transmits. Possible
values are
0
6
. The default value is
4
.
Error High Threshold
This field is only valid when
Forwarding Mode
is set to
auto
, and is used to force
a port to
store & forward
mode when the percentage of errors detected in the
Sampling Interval is more than the error high threshold. Possible values are
0
100
percent. The default value is
10
percent.
Error Low Threshold
This field is only valid when
Forwarding Mode
is set to
auto
, and is used to return
a port to
cut-through
mode when the percentage of errors detected in the Sampling
Interval is less than the error low threshold. Possible values are
0
100
percent. The
default value is
1
percent.
Error Sampling Interval
This field is only valid when
Forwarding Mode
is set to
auto
, and specifies a
sampling period in minutes. The sampling period is used when counting errors to
determine a ports forwarding mode. Possible values are
1
60
minutes. The default
value is
10
.
Cfg Loss Threshold
Configuration loss occurs when a port completes a connection, allows data traffic
to flow, and subsequently closes. This threshold is used to control the number of
configuration losses that can occur within the
Cfg Loss Sampling Interval
. When
the threshold is exceeded, the port is disabled and must be enabled via this screen
or an SNMP manager. Possible values are
1
100.
The default value is
8
.
Cfg Loss Sampling Interval
Specifies a sampling period in minutes. The number of configuration losses
occurring within this interval is compare to the
Cfg Loss Threshold
to determine
if a port should be disabled. Possible values are
1
60
minutes. The default value is
10
.
Note:
If you change any configuration parameters of a connected port, the port will
close and reopen and you will lose all address information and statistics for that
port.
