Configuring FC Timers
The fctimer command modifies Fibre Channel protocol related timer values for the switch.
You can use the fctimer command in configuration mode to configure the following TOVs:
•
•
•
The Fabric stability TOV (F_S_TOV) constant cannot be configured.

Distributed services TOV (D_S_TOV)—The valid range is from 5,000 to 10,000 milliseconds. The
default is 5,000 milliseconds.
Error detect TOV (E_D_TOV)—The valid range is from 1,000 to 10,000 milliseconds. The default
is 2,000 milliseconds. This value is matched with the other end during port initialization.
Resource allocation TOV (R_A_TOV)—The valid range is from 5,000 to 10,000 milliseconds. The
default is 10,000 milliseconds. This value is matched with the other end during port initialization.
