Provision Fiber Channel (FC) interface parameters

Perform the following steps to provision the physical port parameters of a Fiber Channel (FC) port:

Go to Configuration > Layer 1 menu and click Manage L1 Ports option. Manage Ports page is displayed.
Do one of the following:
- Select Node check box and enter the IP address of the desired node in IP text box provided.
- Enter the name of the desired node in IP text box provided.
Click (Search Nodes). Shelf(s) and cards details of the node are listed under Node Tree pane.
Click Ports drop-down for desired card and select the FC port under Node Tree pane. The physical port parameters of the all the FC ports under that card is displayed under FC Port Details pane.
Double-click the field desired to change. All parameters (except ID and Label) are editable. For more information, refer to FC Port details table.
Click (Save Changes). Review Change Request window is displayed. Object field displays the port parameters edited by the user with changed values under New Value field and previous values under Old Value field.
Do one of the following:
- To discard the unwanted changes, select the row against that change and click (Delete Changes). The selected row(s) will be crossed out and marked in red color. Go to next step.
- To commit all the changes, go to next step.
Click (Save Changes). Change Requests Status window is displayed listing the status of operation under Status field.
Click (Close) to exit Change Requests Status window. A message Please refresh the Page or search Node. Automatically Refreshing the page in 3 minutes is displayed.
For the changes to apply and get updated in TJ5500, refreshing operation is required to be performed. This can be done in any of the two ways mentioned as follows:
- Manually by clicking on (Search Nodes) or refreshing the page; or
- Automatically, where a timer starts and the page will be refreshed in 3 minutes. The timer will be displayed on same page. If desired, user can click Stop link to stop the timer anytime but the refresh operation will be performed and changes will apply.
  (show changes saved) button allows you to view the saved changes in Recently saved changes window. This button is available only when the timer is visible.

Ethernet port details

Parameter	Description	Default Value	Acceptable Value
ID	Displays the Ethernet port number in ci-si-pn format.	--	--
Label	Displays the Ethernet port number in ci-si-pn format.	--	--
Admin Status	Allows you to select the status of the interface as: Up: Sets the interfaces in service. Down: Sets the interfaces out of service.	Up	Up Down
Timing Transparent Mode	Enable or disable Timing Transparent Mode (TTM) on a client side port. No Timing-Transparent-Mapping: Indicates that TTM is disabled on the FC interface. Timing-Transparent-Mapped to ODU: Indicates that TTM is enabled on the FC interface. The client signals can now be mapped into OTU transport frames.	No Timing- Transparent- Mapping	No Timing- Transparent- Mapping Timing-Transparent-Mapped to ODU
Mapping Type	This field gets updated depending upon the value selected in Timing Transparent Mode field. In case of no Timing-Transparent- Mapping, Mapping Type field will be selected as Mapping Not Applicable. The mapping type supported are: For FC_800 port: FC800 to ODU2 For FC_1200 port: FC1200 to ODU1f	Mapping Not Applicable	Mapping Not Applicable AMP Mapping BMP Mapping GFP-F Mapping to ODUFlex GFP-T Mapping to ODU0 BMP Mapping to ODU1e GFP-F Mapping to ODU2 Extended GFP-F Mapping to ODU2 BMP Mapping to ODU2e GMP Mapping BMP Mapping to ODU1fc BMP Mapping to ODU2fc BMP Mapping to ODU4 GFP-F Mapping to ODU2 FC800 to ODU2 FC1200 to ODU1f
