 %
The domain number uniquely identifies
the switch in a fabric. This switch domain
ID is normally automatically assigned by
the switch and may be any value between
0 and 239. This number may also be as-
signed manually.

A port is designated an E_Port when it is
used as an interswitch expansion port to
connect to the E_Port of another switch
to build a larger switch fabric.

E_D_TOV (Error-Detect Time-Out Value)
defines the time the switch waits for an
expected response before declaring an er-
ror condition. The error detect time out
value is adjustable in 1ms increments
from 2 seconds up to 10 seconds.
(

The name applied to a network resulting
from the interconnection of switches and
devices comprised of high-speed fiber
connections. A fabric is an active, intelli-
gent, nonshared interconnect scheme for
nodes.

The FL_Port is the fabric access port used
to connect NL_Ports to the switch in a
loop configuration.

A port is designated as a G_Port when it
has not assumed a specific function. A
G_Port is a generic switch port that can
operate either as an E_Port or an F_Port.
A port is defined as a G_Port, for example,
when it is not connected or has not yet
assumed a specific function in the fabric.
