Implementation
The
portcfglongdistance
CLI parameter
VC Translation Link Init
is now overloaded
to specify whether the long distance link should use IDLE or ARB primitives. By default vc_init is enabled.
When vc_init is enabled, the long distance link uses ARB primitives. When vc_init is disabled, the
link uses IDLE primitives.
The buffer-to-buffer credit recovery feature is not supported on Extended Fabrics E_Port when it is
configured to use IDLE primitives. The user must disable buffer-to-buffer credit recovery feature using
the command
portcfgcreditrecovery
and specifying the disable option; otherwise, the link will
continuously reset.
The Adaptive Networking SID/DID Traffic Prioritization QoS feature is not supported on Extended
Fabrics E_Ports when IDLE primitives are configured on these ports. In this mode only data virtual
channels are available when QoS related virtual channels are not available.
When connecting to an extension device that does not support ARB primitives (such as some TDM
products), the following configuration must be used:
•
portcfgqos -disable <port>
•
portcfgcreditrecovery –disable <port>
•
portCfgLongDistance <port><LD|LD>0<distance>
The fabric parameter
fabric.ops.mode.longdistance
is now deprecated and should not be
used.
Web Tools functionality moved to DCFM
The functionality that was moved from Web tools in 6.1.1 to DCFM applies to both DCFM Professional
and DCFM Enterprise and also applies to 6.2.x.
Table 6
describes these changes.

Configure > Zoning:
Reverse Find in the zoning dialog
provides the view of the zoned
and unzoned devices in the fabric
if all zone members are selected

Connected End Devices: Custom
display from the top level in the
main frame provides the device
tree and topology view for all the
zoned devices if all zones are
selected in the active zone
configuration.
