configure Fabric parameters are defined as follows: Domain The domain number uniquely identifies a switch in a fabric. This value is automatically assigned by the fabric. The range is 1-239. Enable 8-bit Dynamic Area Mode When enabled, this feature supports Dynamic Area Mode in default partitions on the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and DCX 8510-4. Dynamic Area Mode is disabled by default. When enabled, Dynamic Area Mode supports both static and dynamic area assignment. Use the portAddress command to perform a static assignment of an area to a given port. In Dynamic Area Mode, areas are dynamically assigned to the ports (up to a 255 limit). Port area assignments are persistent; however, disabling Dynamic Area Mode with configure resets the area assignments. This feature is configurable only on the default switch. Enabling Dynamic Area Mode fails under one or more of the following conditions: • The number of ports in the default partition exceeds 255. • An AP blade with FL ports is present in the chassis (Brocade Encryption blade, or FCoE 10-24. WWN Based persistent PID When enabled, this feature supports both dynamic and static WWN-based PID assignment. In dynamic PID binding, the first area assigned to a device when it logs in is bound to the device WWN and remains persistent through subsequent logins. Every time the device logs into the switch, it is guaranteed to get the same PID. Alternately, you can use the wwnAddress command to create a static WWN-based PID assignment. In either case, the WWN-based persistent PID feature must be enabled through configure. The feature is disabled by default; it is dependent on Dynamic Area Mode being enabled. D-Port Parameters Disables or enables the D_Port parameters on the switch. Dynamic D_Port Disables or enables Dynamic D_Port mode configuration on the switch. By default, Dynamic D_Port mode is ON. When Dynamic D_Port mode is ON, the port may dynamically go into D_Port mode based on external request from remote HBA or device port. After the D_Port tests are complete, the port may automatically switch to operate as an F_Port. This option is not supported in AG mode. On Demand D_Port Disables or enables On-Demand D_Port mode configuration on the switch. By default, On-Demand D_Port mode is OFF. RDP Polling Cycle Displays the Switch Driver timer routine for polling. The switch need not be disabled to configure this variable. Allow XISL Use An extended interswitch link (XISL) is an interswitch link (ISL) that connects the logical switch to the base switch and carries traffic for multiple logical fabrics. This feature is supported only on Virtual Fabric-aware platforms under the following conditions: Virtual Fabrics must be enabled on the switch, and the switch cannot be a base switch.
