Configuring the Director Configuring Switch Binding For complete procedures on configuring this optional feature, refer to "Switch Binding" on page 6-7. Configuring Ports Use the procedures in this section to configure names, blocked and unblocked state, 10-100 km extended distance buffering, enable or disable link incident (LIN) alerts for ports, port type, port speed, Port Binding, and the WWN binding name. NOTE: The Configure Ports dialog box is different for S/390 and open systems mode. Those options available in open systems mode only are labeled as such. The Port Binding feature must be installed before the Port Binding and Bound WWN columns can be used. Refer to "Configuring Feature Key" on page 3-24 to install the Port Binding feature. Port configuration data is stored in NV-RAM on the switch. Configure data in the following columns of the Configure Ports dialog box: • Port #-You cannot edit this field. The physical port number, from 0-63 on the Director 2/64, and 0-127 and 132-143 on the Director 2/140. Note that for the Director 2/140, ports 128-131 are internal ports and not available for external connections. • Name (open systems mode only)-Enter a name for the port. The port names display in the Port Properties dialog box and elsewhere in the Product Manager to identify the port. NOTE: To identify port numbers for which you want to provide names, place the cursor over the ports in the Hardware View. As you move over a port, a message displays that identifies the slot number where the port is installed. To name ports in S/390 mode, use the Configure Addresses dialog box. • Blocked (open systems mode only)-Placing a check mark in the check boxes of this column blocks the operation of the port. To block ports in S/390 mode, use the Configure Addresses dialog box. • 10-100Km-This column is for extended distance buffering. You can enable extended distance for a port even if it is not an extended distance port. However, enabling extended distance buffering on a port disables the ability for the port to send broadcast traffic. When you choose this option, the port can support up to 60 buffer-to-buffer credits (BB_Credits) to handle link distances up to 100 km. This director product manager user guide 3-9

Configure Ports
dialog box is different for S/390 and open systems mode. Those
options available in open systems mode only are labeled as such.
The Port Binding feature must be installed before the
Port Binding
