(Optional) Enter the Duration in seconds and NumFlaps. If the values are 0, the port goes into a down state even if the link flaps once. Otherwise, the link goes into a down state if the link flaps for the NumFlaps times within the Duration (in seconds). Click Apply to activate the configuration. About Interface Descriptions Interface descriptions should help you identify the traffic or use for that interface. The interface description can be any alphanumeric string. About Frame Encapsulation You can set the frame format to EISL for all frames transmitted by the interface in SD port mode. If you sent the frame encapsulation to EISL, all outgoing frames are transmitted in the EISL frame format, irrespective of the SPAN source(s). See the "Monitoring Network Traffic Using SPAN" section on page 60-1. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide to configure frame encapsulation on an interface. About Receive Data Field Size You can also configure the receive data field size for Fibre Channel interfaces. If the default data field size is 2112 bytes, the frame length will be 2148 bytes. Configuring Receive Data Field Size You can also configure the receive data field size for Fibre Channel interfaces. If the default data field size is 2112 bytes, the frame length will be 2148 bytes.
