After purchasing and installing the feature key, you can configure for E_Port connections on any of the active ports. The feature key includes distance support. With firmware 06.00.00 and later, the Edge Switch 2/12 ships with five BB_credits allocated to each port. After activation of the Full Fabric feature on a switch, each port has 12 BB_Credits allocated to support up to 12 km links at 2 Gb/s speed.

Port state in HAFM Basic may not be correct under certain conditions Port state information may not update correctly in HAFM Basic when an unresponsive node becomes active again. The port may report Invalid Attachment even if it is active and traffic is flowing across the link. Workaround The display of port state can be corrected by blocking and then unblocking the port.
