Command
DispEvent
Description Sets the switches that control the filtering performed when displaying events.
Default
Syntax
set dispevent [subsystem] [event_level] [status] get dispevent
Switches have the following settings:
[subsystem] switch: mask that controls which subsystem events are displayed. The mask is a byte value with the following bit patterns corresponding to the currently supported subsystems: 0x01 0x02 0x04 0x08 0x20 0x40 0x80 0x00
FCP Processor/i960 Interaction SCSI Processor/i960 Interaction Ethernet (Future) Extended copy NVRAM & Flash ECC & Parity Performance
To display events from several different subsystems, use a mask value equal to the logical OR of the corresponding subsystem values. To display events from all subsystems enter the value 0x7F for the mask.
[event_level] switch: mask that controls what reporting level events are 0x00
displayed. The mask is a byte value with the following bit patterns corresponding to the currently supported reporting levels: Info; general information Warning; unexpected situation/condition Critical; operation limited/curtailed Failure; hard failure Other; otherwise not categorized Debug; tracking events
0x01 0x02 0x04 0x08 0x10 0x20
To display events from several different reporting levels, use a mask value equal to the logical OR of the corresponding reporting levels. To display events for all reporting levels enter the value 0x7F for the mask.
[status] switch: This switch has the following two values which correspond to the status of the events to be displayed: all ngood
All events, regardless of their status values are displayed.
ngood Only events with a status other than good are displayed. DispFcPortDB
(Immediate)
Displays the contents of the specified Fibre port's internal database.

Command
DisplayEvent
Description Displays the current contents of the event log. The log is filtered by the current switch settings as described in the DispEvent section. If the optional all is selected, the display filtering is temporarily suspended and all logged events are displayed. The get command displays the statistics; the set command resets the statistic counters to zero. The get command displays the logs; the set command resets the logs to zero. If auto is selected, the current speed of the connection is indicated in parentheses in the response to the get ethernetspeed command. Specifies whether ACK0 or ACK1 will be returned in response to a Class 2 Fibre Channel data frame or sequence. When enabled, this option sends ACK0; when disabled, this option sends ACK1. Specifies whether the FC420 bridge will support Fibre Channel Class 2 (Multiplexed) or Class 3 service. Sets/displays the Fibre Channel connection mode for the FC420 to arbitrated loop or point-to-point. Loop-ptp and ptp-loop will auto-negotiate starting with the first topology type. Sets/displays the data rate (in Gb/s) at which the FC420 bridge will operate. Applies to all three Fibre Channel ports on each board.

Command
FcFullDuplex
Description Enables/disables full duplex communication between the FC420 bridge and other Fibre Channel devices. Under soft addressing the FC420 loop address is assigned during loop initialization. [. . . ] 0 September 2003
Command
ScsiPortSelTimeout
Description Show the time (msec) that the bridge waits for a response from a SCSI device on the selected port after a selection request. Specify whether synchronous SCSI transfers should be negotiated with devices on the specified SCSI port. Sets the baud rate for the FC420 serial port (2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200). Set the data handshaking method used for controlling the flow between the transmitter and receiver (hardware, software, or none). [. . . ]
