6. Repeat

step 4

and

step 5

for the remote extended ISL port. Both the local and remote

extended ISL ports must be configured to the same distance_level. When the connection is
initiated, the fabric will reconfigure.

Example

The following example configures slot 1, port 2 to support a 100-km link in LS mode and to use the
extended link initialization sequence. This example is for an 8-Gbps platform.

Enabling long distance when connecting to TDM devices

Use this procedure when connecting to time-division multiplexing (TDM) devices and your Brocade
switch has QoS and buffer credit recovery enabled.
