Configuring the RSCN Timer 

</h1>
<a name="wp1074252"> </a><p class="pBody">
RSCN maintains a per-VSAN event list queue, where the RSCN events are queued as they are generated. 
When the first RSCN event is queued, a per VSAN timer starts. Upon time-out, all the events are 
dequeued and coalesced RSCNs are sent to registered users. The default timer values minimize the 
number of coalesced RSCNs sent to registered users. Some deployments require smaller event timer 
values to track changes in the fabric.

</p>
<a name="wp1074255"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> The RSCN timer value must be the same on all switches in the VSAN. See the <a href="flgi10.html">&quot;RSCN Timer 
Configuration Distribution Using CFS&quot; topic</a>.

</p>
<a name="wp1074257"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Before performing a downgrade, make sure that you revert the RCSN timer value in your network to the 
default value. Failure to do so will disable the links across your VSANs and other devices.
