Fabric OS Commands portCfgLongDistance Command A new parameter was added to this command. The new syntax is as follows: portCfgLongDistance [slot/]port[, distance_level][, linkinitmode] linkinitmode Operand Only applies to long distance setup. It does not affect a normal link. It is added to ensure the long distance link initialization sequence. It is not required for long distance, but may be useful when initiating L1 and L2 links. linkinitmode Usage Specify 1 to activate 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 100km link on a port in a V4.0 switch with long distance link initialization protocol enabled: switch:admin> portCfgLongDistance 2/3 L2 1 done. portcfgshow Command This command is enhanced by the addition of VC Link Init mode data. The setting of this option is shown as blank (..) when the long distance link initialization option is turned off and on. This value is set by the portCfgLongDistance command. timeout Command The syntax for this command is as follows: timeout [interval] Use this command with no operands to display the current telnet time-out value. Use this command with the interval operand to set the time-out value to the specified number of minutes. Using a time-out value of 0 will disable the time-out functionality so that login sessions are never be disconnected. The default time-out value for CLI sessions (serial port and telnet) is 10 minutes. firmwareCommit Command Use this command to copy an updated firmware image on the primary partition to the secondary partition and commit both partitions of a CP to an updated\ version of the firmware. This must be done after each firmwaredownload, and after the switch has been rebooted and a sanity check is performed to make sure the new image is fine.

A new parameter was added to this command. The new syntax is as follows:
portCfgLongDistance [slot/]port[, distance_level][, linkinitmode]
linkinitmode Operand
Only applies to long distance setup. It does not affect a normal link.
It is added to ensure the long distance link initialization sequence. It is not
required for long distance, but may be useful when initiating L1 and L2 links.
linkinitmode Usage
Specify 1 to activate 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 100km link on a port in a V4.0 switch with long
distance link initialization protocol enabled:
switch:admin> portCfgLongDistance 2/3 L2 1
done.
portcfgshow
Command
This command is enhanced by the addition of VC Link Init mode data. The setting
of this option is shown as blank (..) when the long distance link initialization
option is turned off and on. This value is set by the portCfgLongDistance
command.
timeout
Command
The syntax for this command is as follows:
timeout [interval]
Use this command with no operands to display the current telnet time-out value.
Use this command with the interval operand to set the time-out value to the
