3 Revised commands in Fabric OS v6.4.0 Revised commands in Fabric OS v6.4.0 A new configurable parameter has been added to the configure command under Fabric Parameters: In Table 6 on page 133 add the following row: TABLE 6 Field Configure command fabric parameters Type Default Edge hold time Number (seconds) 220 Range 0-500 The description for Edge hold time is as follows: Configures the maximum time a frame can wait after it is received on the ingress port and before it is delivered to the egress port. If the frame waits in the egress buffer for more than the configured hold time, the switch drops the frame, replenishes sender's credit, and increments the counters sts_tx_timeout and er_c3_timeout on the TX and RX ports respectively. The frame-timeout indicates a slow draining or a congestion or bottleneck in the fabric. Decreasing hold time on the Edge switches may reduce frame drop counts in the core switches. This parameter is stored persistently in the configuration file. You can configure Edge hold time only on the default switch: Example: To configure Edge hold time on a disabled switch: Switch:admin> configure Configure...
