Timeout Values
The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch.
Table 4-4 describes the switch timeout parameters. The R_A_TOV, R_T_TOV, or
E_D_TOV values must be the same for all switches in the fabric.
Note: Timeout values can only be changed if the switch operational state is
offline.
