Initial Configuration ● Configuring the device.................................................................................................... 43 ● Establishing a serial connection to the device................................................................ 44 ● Logging in to the serial console port............................................................................... 45 ● Configuring the IP addresses..........................................................................................
Establishing a serial connection to the device FIGURE 13 Configuration tasks Establishing a serial connection to the device To establish a serial connection to the console port on the device, complete the following steps. 1. Verify that the device is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the port, control processor, and core switch blades display a steady green light. 2. Remove the shipping cap from the CONSOLE port on the active CP.
Logging in to the serial console port 3. Access the device using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal in a Windows environment or tip in a UNIX environment). 4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs). 5.
Configuring the IP addresses sensitive, and they are not displayed when you enter them on the command line. For more information on passwords, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Configuring the IP addresses The device requires three IP addresses, which are configured using the ipAddrSet command. IP addresses are required for both CP blades (CP0 and CP1) and for the chassis management IP (shown as SWITCH under the ipAddrShow command) in the device.
Logging off the serial console port and disconnecting the serial cable ipaddrset -cp 0 Host Name [cp0]: Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.75]: 192.168.1.2 Ethernet Subnetmask [0.0.0.0 ]: 255.255.255.0 Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0 ]: 192.168.1.254 IP address is being changed...Done.

Customizing a chassis name NOTE Changing the name causes a domain address format RSCN to be issued. 1. Enter switchName followed by the new name in double quotes. swDir:admin> switchName "swModularSwitch5" Committing configuration... Done. swModularSwitch5:admin> 2. Record the new name for reference. Customizing a chassis name The chassis name of the device can be up to 15 characters long; can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscore characters; and must begin with a letter. 1.
Setting the date and time Setting the date and time The date and time settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, they should be set correctly. Setting the date To set the date, follow these steps. 1. If necessary, log on to the device by Telnet, using the admin account.
Synchronizing local time The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using interactive mode to Pacific Standard Time. 1. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows: switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive You are prompted to select a general location. Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly. 2. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl+D to quit. 3. At the prompt, select a country location. 4.
Verifying the PID mode Verifying the PID mode Before connecting the device to the fabric, verify that the WWN-based persistent port identifier (PID) feature on the device matches the other switches in the fabric. This parameter must be identical for all switches in the fabric and is set using the configure command as shown in the following example: switch:admin>configure Configure... Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Domain: (1..
Installing SFP+ and mSFP transceivers and cables Installing SFP+ and mSFP transceivers and cables Complete the following steps to install SFP-type optical transceivers. NOTE mSFP transceivers are compatible only with the FC8-64 port blade. While they will fit in other blades, this configuration is unsupported and will generate an error. 1. Add the optical transceivers and cables to the Fibre Channel ports.
Installing QSFP transceivers and cables NOTE The QSFP transceivers supported on FC16-64 port blade are not interchangeable with QSFP transceivers supported on the CR16-4/8 core blades. Installing QSFP transceivers and cables Follow these steps to install the QSFPs and cables in the FC16-64 port blades and the 16-Gbps core blades. In the core blades, these transceivers and cables are used to form the inter-chassis links (ICLs) with neighboring Backbones.

Verifying correct operation and backing up the configuration • Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the device, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius. • The minimum bend radius should be no smaller than ten times the cable radius. The minimum radius to which a 50 micron cable can be bent under full tensile load is 5.1 cm (2 in.).
Powering off the chassis Observe the following notes about configuration data: • Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configuration upload. • It is recommended that the configuration be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement chassis. Powering off the chassis Perform the following steps to power off the chassis. 1. Shut down the chassis using the sysShutdown command.

Time and items required contact customer support if recovery fails. In these cases, Brocade Support will determine whether one or both WWN cards need replaced and will request the partner or OEM to send WWN cards from FRU inventory to the nearest Brocade Support office to be reprogrammed. This section provides information on RASlog messages indicating WWN card problems, the WWN Recovery Tool, and complete steps to remove and replace WWN cards.
Verifying the need for replacement Technical Support. For other problems, running wwnrecover can pinpoint the problem and, in some cases, permit you to fix it. Mismatched data can be resolved, and corrupt data can sometimes be recovered. The following table lists RASlog messages that can occur during the WWN card audit routine. TABLE 17 RASlog messages from WWN card audit Error message Issue [EM-1220]...M1, ERROR ...
Preparing for WWN card replacement Preparing for WWN card replacement If the WWN cards require replacement, complete the following steps. Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor. 1. Open a Telnet session to the chassis and log in to the active CP as admin. The default password is "password". 2. Verify that you are logged in to the active CP. Run the haShow command to determine the active CP. 3.
Power-down replacement 3. Verify that the WWN card is correctly connected by noting if the LEDs on the card reflects the status of the components. 4. Address any issues flagged by any RASlog EM-1220 and EM-1222 messages that display for the new card before proceeding. NOTE Issues relating to data recovery on new WWN cards must be resolved at this point before proceeding to avoid invalid WWN data, errors, and operating problems.
Removal and Replacement Procedures DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor. NOTE Be aware that if replacing both WWN cards, the IP addresses on the new WWN cards will be in effect when the chassis powers up. If these IP addresses are different from the previous cards, then you will not be able to establish ssh or other sessions that use the previous IP addresses. You can change IP addresses on the new cards using the ipaddrset command. 1.
