ISL Trunking Groups 1 ISL Trunking Groups Brocade ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. If your SilkWorm 4016 switch has a Brocade ISL Trunking license, the external ports can be used as a trunking group. Ports that can be used within the same trunking group are color-coded on the switch’s port side for easy identification. Trunking groups can be groups of two, three, or all four ports.

Chapter Installing the Brocade SilkWorm 4016 2 This chapter provides the following information: • • • “Unpacking the SilkWorm 4016” on page 2-1 “Preparing the Blade Server for the SilkWorm 4016” on page 2-2 “Inserting a SilkWorm 4016 into the Chassis” on page 2-2 Unpacking the SilkWorm 4016 To remove the SilkWorm 4016 from its shipping package: 1. Open the shipping box and inspect the contents, making sure that nothing is missing or damaged. Do not insert a damaged switch into the PowerEdge chassis.
2 Preparing the Blade Server for the SilkWorm 4016 Preparing the Blade Server for the SilkWorm 4016 Before you insert the SilkWorm 4016 into the blade server chassis, make sure that the following conditions are met: • • The blade server chassis is powered up. • All power requirements specific to the blade server chassis are met. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for details. • If you are replacing an existing switch, the new one should be inserted within one minute of removal.
Inserting a SilkWorm 4016 into the Chassis 4. 2 Swing the insertion arm out to open the arm completely. This positions the insertion arm, allowing the SilkWorm 4016 to seat properly in the blade server chassis. 84-0000123-01 Rev X XXX 10:00:00:05:1E:34:70:29 5. With the port side facing you and the insertion arm extended, slide the SilkWorm 4016 into the open chassis I/O bay. The following illustration shows the SilkWorm 4016 being inserted with a horizontal orientation.
2 Inserting a SilkWorm 4016 into the Chassis Refer to the SFP manufacturer’s documentation for details about SFP modules. After it is activated, the switch runs self-diagnostic tests such as POST. For more information, see “Interpreting POST Results” on page 4-3. After the diagnostics are complete, cable the SilkWorm 4016 as directed by the blade server chassis manufacturer’s documentation. The blade server creates a connection to the switch for configuration.
Chapter Configuring the Brocade SilkWorm 4016 3 The SilkWorm 4016 must be configured correctly before it can operate within a network and fabric.
3 Configuring the SilkWorm 4016 Creating a Serial Connection To create a serial connection to the SilkWorm 4016 you need to connect to the serial port of the blade server chassis’ management module. Note All versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system include Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal terminal emulation software. However, the included version does not provide many functions required during console redirection. Either upgrade to HyperTerminal Private Edition 6.
Configuring the SilkWorm 4016 3 Connecting to the Switch To log in to the switch through the serial connection: 1. Verify that the switch has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port status and switch power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state. 2. Login to theblade server’s management module as specified in “Creating a Serial Connection” on page 3-2. 3. At the command prompt, type connect switch-x where x is the bay into which the SilkWorm 4016 is installed. 4.
3 Configuring the SilkWorm 4016 Completing the Switch Configuration To complete the switch configuration: 1. Log on to the switch by telnet, using the admin account. 2. Modify the domain ID if required. The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value.
Configuring the SilkWorm 4016 4. 3 Connect the cables to the transceivers. The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented and that the end caps have been removed. The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. Caution A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.
3 Activating Ports on Demand (POD) Activating Ports on Demand (POD) The SilkWorm 4016 is shipped with 12 licensed ports. As your needs increase, you can activate up to four additional ports by purchasing and installing the Brocade Ports on Demand (POD) optional licensed product. Table 3-1 shows the ports available.
Connecting to the Switch Using Web Tools 3 Removing POD-licensed Ports You can return the switch module to the default number of ports by removing the POD license. The license can be removed regardless of whether the switch is active or disabled. Use Web Tools or the CLI to remove the POD license. Ports should be disabled before removing a POD license. For details about using Web Tools, see the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide.

Chapter Operating the Brocade SilkWorm 4016 4 This chapter describes the operation and interoperability of the SilkWorm 4016.
4 Accessing the SilkWorm 4016 Port Negotiation The SilkWorm 4016 has been designed to be highly interoperable. It supports 1 Gbit/sec, 2 Gbit/sec, and 4 Gbit/sec transmit and receive rates with autonegotiation. The actual data signaling rate used on a port is automatically sensed and set to the rate supported by device or devices attached to the port.
Interpreting POST Results 4 Secure telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH), a network security protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. Brocade Web Tools management is available via a secure browser using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection.
4 Interpreting LED Activity Interpreting LED Activity Each SilkWorm 4016 uses LEDs to indicate status. These LEDs are shown in Figure 4-1. Not shown are the two LEDs adjacent to each SFP, with one LED to indicate port speed and one LED to indicate activity. 6 7 1 2 10 3 11 12 13 14 15 ! 4 Figure 4-1 5 LED Locations Location Indicator Color 1 blade server green/amber chassis Controlled by the blade server.
