Is there a way to simulate a malfunctioning device or a faulty cable in a FC SAN network?

edit: I know shutting down a port on a switch is an option, I'd like to simulate high error rates though.

In an ethernet network it would be a simple case of adding a transparent bridge that discards a given percent of the packets, but I have absolutely no idea how to tackle that in an Fibre Channel environment...
