3 Establishing a serial connection to the Brocade VDX 8770-8 The configuration information is mirrored to the standby MM, if you have installed one, which allows the current configuration to remain available even if the active MM fails. The configuration information for the Brocade VDX 8770-8 is stored in the CID cards and the flash memory of the MMs. The configuration can be backed up to a workstation (uploaded) and then downloaded to the active MM if necessary.
Establishing a serial connection to the Brocade VDX 8770-8 3 1. Verify that the Brocade VDX 8770-8 is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the management, switch fabric, and line card modules display a steady green light. 2. Remove the shipping cap from the serial port (labeled I0I0I) on the active MM. By default, the MM installed in slot M1 is the active MM unless an error occurs. The active MM is also indicated by an illuminated blue LED labeled ACTIVE. 3.
3 Logging in to the serial console port TABLE 8 Serial cable pinouts PIN Signal Description 6 RXD Receive data 7 Not supported NA 8 Not supported NA Logging in to the serial console port Log in to the Brocade VDX 8770-8 through the serial connection with the admin user name. The default password is password. While you are not required to change the password at the initial login, Brocade recommends that you change your admin and user passwords.
Assigning permanent passwords 3 Assigning permanent passwords The factory-configured default accounts on the switch are admin and user. Use the default administrative account as shown in Table 9 to log in to the switch for the first time and to perform the basic configuration tasks. The user account is read-only and used primarily for system monitoring.
3 Configuring the IP addresses Configuring the IP addresses You must configure the Brocade VDX 8770-8 with a static IP address. DHCP is not supported on the Brocade VDX 8770-8. The Brocade VDX 8770-8 supports both IPv4 and IPv6 format addresses. Setting a static IP address Complete the following steps to set a static IP address. 1. Log in to the switch using an account that has the admin role. 2. Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command. 3.
Logging off the serial console port and disconnecting the serial cable 3 ip address 10.24.85.81/20 ip gateway-address 10.24.80.1 ipv6 address fd00:60:69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/64 no ipv6 address autoconfig ! Logging off the serial console port and disconnecting the serial cable You can use the serial port to monitor error messages through the serial connection.
3 Customizing a chassis name 1. Log in to the switch using an account that has the admin role. 2. Enter configure terminal to change to global configuration mode. switch# configure terminal Entering configuration mode terminal 3. Enter switch-attributes followed by the RBridge ID and the host-name operand with the new name. If you have changed the RBridge ID, be sure to use that ID. switch(config)# switch-attributes 1 host-name rack1_8770_8 4. Record the new name for reference. 5.
Setting the date and time 3 Setting the date and time The MM maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a Brocade VDX 8770-8 with an incorrect date and time value functions properly. Because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.
3 Setting the date and time 3. Enter the ntp server "IPv4 address" command, where IPv4 address is the IP address of the first NTP server in IPv4 format, which the switch must be able to access. The IPv4 address variable is optional. By default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock as the clock server. switch(config)# ntp server "132.163.135.131" To display the NTP server IP address, use the show ntp status [rbridge-id rbridge-id | all] command.
Determining installed software licenses 3 If you want to show the clock and time zone settings, use the show clock [rbridge-id rbridge-id | all] command. switch# show clock rbridge-id 1: 2012-03-17 12:15:00 America/Los_Angeles Determining installed software licenses Certain licenses are factory installed on the Brocade VDX 8770-8. To determine which licenses are enabled, use the show license command while in privileged EXEC mode. The format of the command is show license [rbridge-id rbridge-id | all].
3 Saving your changes Entering configuration mode terminal 4. Enter the hardware command to enter hardware configuration mode. switch(config)# hardware 5. Enter the port-group command to enter configuration mode for a specific port group. There are nine port groups on the line card. To identify the port group, use the format rbridge-id/slot-id/port group-id. switch(config-hardware)# port-group 1/3/9 6.
Verifying correct operation 3 This operation will modify your startup configuration. Do you want to continue? [Y/N]: Y 3. When the confirmation question appears, answer Y for Yes. The current running configuration, containing all of your latest changes, is saved to the startup configuration. The next time the switch reboots, all of the changes will remain in force. Verifying correct operation Complete the following steps to verify correct operation for the Brocade VDX 8770-8. 1.
3 Connecting network devices ATTENTION Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configuration upload. NOTE Brocade recommends that the configuration be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement management module or Brocade VDX 8770-8. Be sure to append the date to the end of the target file names to make it clear which are the latest backups.
Installing transceivers and attaching cables 3 Installing transceivers and attaching cables The following two sets of steps cover the installation of transceivers and cables for most SFP and for QSFP transceivers. CAUTION Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to a grounded surface. Installing SFP and SFP+ transceivers and cables Complete the following steps to install optical SFP and SFP+ transceivers. 1.
3 Managing cables 3. Remove the protective plug from the QSFP transceiver and the protective cap from the special QSFP cable and insert it into the transceiver until it is firmly seated. The cables are also keyed to fit into the transceivers correctly. When the cable is correctly seated, the status LED will change from amber to green. 4. Repeat step 1 through step 3 for the remaining QSFP ports. 5. Organize the cables. Refer to “Managing cables.
