SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes
portcfglongdistance
Extended links in the same SAN are either 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps, but not both.
If you have 1 Gbps extended links in the SAN you can not add a 2 Gbps Extended
Link to the same SAN.
Enhancement
A new parameter was added to this command. The new syntax is as follows:
portCfgLongDistance [slot/]port[, distance_level][,
linkinitmode]
linkinitmode Operand
The linkinitmode operand applies to long distance setup only. It does not affect a
normal link. It is added to ensure the long distance link initialization sequence.
The linkinitmode operand is not required for long distance, but may be useful
when initiating L1 and L2 links.
linkinitmode Usage
Specify 1 to activate a long distance link initialization sequence. Specify 0 to
deactivate this mode. The default value is 0 (disabled). This operand is optional.
The following example is for a 100 km link on a port in a V4.0 switch with long
distance link initialization protocol enabled:
switch:admin> portCfgLongDistance 2/3 L2 1

SNMP Enhancements
SNMP security updates include:
HP response to the CERT Coordination Center advisory notices VU#854306
and VU#107186.
These advisories occur when the CERT Coordination Center issues a broad
