Optional Features Features and Parameters Enabled Fabric Binding This is a SANtegrity Binding feature enabled through the Fabrics menu in HAFM that allows or prohibits switches and directors from merging with a selected fabric. Refer to "Enable/Disable and Online State Functions" on page 191 for details on enabling/disabling Fabric Binding with Enterprise Fabric Mode enabled. Switch Binding This is a SANtegrity Binding feature enabled through the Configure menu in the Product Manager that allows or prohibits switches and/or directors from connecting to switch E_Ports, devices from connecting to F_Ports. Refer to "Enable/Disable and Online State Functions" on page 195 for details on enabling/disabling Switch Binding with Enterprise Fabric Mode enabled. Rerouting Delay Rerouting delay is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from Configure menu in the Product Manager application. Rerouting Delay ensures that frames are delivered through the fabric in order to their destination. If there is a change to the fabric topology that creates a new path (for example, a new switch is added to the fabric), frames may be routed over this new path if its hop count is less than a previous path with a minimum hop count. This may result in frames being delivered to a destination out of order since frames sent over the new, shorter path may arrive ahead of older frames still in route over the older path. If Rerouting Delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the E_D_TOV field of the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box (Configure menu). This delay enables frames sent on the old path to exit to their destination before new frames begin traversing the new path. If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled unless the director or switch is offline. In this case, disabling Rerouting Delay also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode. Domain RSCNs This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from Configure menu in the Product Manager application. Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters and Director Product Manager User Guide 197
