This section describes optional ISL performance features configured

through Configure menu selections. Features include:

• Preferred path - Use the Preferred Path View to specify and

configure one or more ISL data paths between multiple fabric

elements. At each fabric element, a preferred path consists of a

source port, exit port, and destination Domain_ID.

• Port fencing - Use the Port Fencing View to minimize ISLs that

bounce (repeatedly attempt to establish a connection), causing

disruptive fabric rebuilds. Fencing defines a bounce threshold

that when reached, automatically blocks the disruptive E_Port.

To configure optional features, refer to the McDATA EFCM Basic

Edition User Manual (620-000240) for instructions.

scheme. Go to Task 4: Configure Product Network Information (Optional).

If no additional options, features, or network addresses are to be

configured, go to Task 5: Cable Fibre Channel Ports.
