Configuring a VFC interface to reject incoming RCF
requests
In a stable fabric, to avoid unnecessary disruptive reconfigurations, you can configure a VFC interface to
reject RCF requests received in a VSAN. With this feature, the switch replies with a reject message and
isolates the interface that receives an RCF request.
To configure a VFC interface to reject received RCF requests:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter VFC interface view.
interface vfc interface-number N/A
3. Configure the VFC interface to
reject RCF requests received in
a VSAN.
fc domain rcf-reject vsan vsan-id
By default, a VFC interface does
not reject received RCF requests.
Enabling SNMP notifications
After you enable SNMP notifications for the fabric module or name service module, that module
generates notifications for important events and sends the notifications to the SNMP module. For more
information about SNMP notifications, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
To enable SNMP notifications:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enable SNMP
notifications for the fabric
module.
snmp-agent trap enable fc-fabric
[ domain-id-change | fabric-change ] *
By default, SNMP notifications for
the fabric module are disabled.
3. Enable SNMP
notifications for the name
service module.
snmp-agent trap enable
fc-name-service [ login | logout ] *
By default, SNMP notifications for
the name service module are
disabled.
Configuring RSCN aggregation
RSCN
An FC switch uses a name service database to store information about registered nodes on the local
switch and on remote switches in the fabric. The switch sends Registered State Change Notifications
(RSCNs) to inform node information changes (node registration, node deregistration, or registration
information change). An RSCN includes only the FC address of the node where the change occurred.
When a change occurs, the switch sends ELS_RSCNs to its concerned registered nodes and SW-RSCNs
to all reachable switches in the fabric. After receiving an RSCN, a switch or node automatically sends a
name service query to obtain the new information. The switch receiving an RSCN also sends ELS_RSCNs
