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 done Adding the SAN Switch 2/32 to an Existing Fabric Read the following section for important information related to adding the switch to the fabric. Merging a New Switch to a Fabric Containing an Active Zone Configuration Use these steps to merge a new switch to a fabric with an active zone configuration database. 1. Log into the new switch. 2. Verify that a Zoning license is installed. Use the licenseshow command to view currently installed licenses. 3. Verify the Core Port Identifier (PID) Format is consistent with the existing fabric.

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

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
done
Adding the SAN Switch 2/32 to an Existing Fabric
Read the following section for important information related to adding the switch
to the fabric.
Merging a New Switch to a Fabric Containing an Active Zone
Configuration
Use these steps to merge a new switch to a fabric with an active zone
configuration database.
1.
Log into the new switch.
2.
Verify that a Zoning license is installed. Use the
licenseshow
command to
view currently installed licenses.
3.
Verify the Core Port Identifier (PID) Format is consistent with the existing
fabric. Use the
configure
command to view current Core PID Format
setting.
