Specifying an RLIR Preferred Host

</h1>
<a name="wp1076572"> </a><p class="pBody">
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(3), you can specify a preferred host to receive RLIR frames. The 
MDS switch sends RLIR frames to the preferred host only if it meets the following conditions:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1076573"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">No host in the VSAN is registered for RLIR with the registration function set to “always receive.” 
If one or more hosts in the VSAN are registered as “always receive,” then RLIR sends only to these 
hosts and not to the configured preferred host. 
</li>
<a name="wp1076574"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">The preferred host is registered with the registration function set to “conditionally receive.” 
</li>
<a name="wp1076575"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> If all registered hosts have the registration function set to “conditionally receive,” then the 
preferred host receives the RLIR frames.

</p>
</ul></div>
<a name="wp1076576"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can specify only one RLIR preferred host per VSAN. By default, the switch sends RLIR frames to 
one of the hosts in the VSAN with the register function set to “conditionally receive” if no hosts have 
the register function set to “always receive.”
