Preparing Brocade 24000 for Secure Fabric OS

The two logical switches in a Brocade 24000 (configured as two domains) director require a slightly

different procedure from other Fabric OS switches. This procedure applies whether the director is

shipped with or upgraded to Fabric OS v4.4.0, v5.0.1, v5.1.0, or v5.2.0.

CAUTION

Placing the two switches from the same director in separate fabrics is not supported if secure mode

is enabled on one or both switches.

NOTE

Status messages from any logical switch are broadcast to the serial console and telnet sessions on

all logical switches. All broadcast messages display the switch instance. Ignore messages that

originate from a switch instance other than the one to which the telnet session is logged in.

To set up Secure Fabric OS on a two-domain Brocade 24000

1. Open a telnet or SSH session to the IP address of either of the logical switches.

sectelnet can also be used if the switch was shipped with Fabric OS v4.4.0, v5.0.1, v5.1.0,

v5.2.0, or v5.3.0 (and therefore already has a digital certificate)

NOTE

Fabric OS v4.4.0, v5.0.1, v5.1.0, v5.2.0, and v5.3.0 maintain separate login accounts for each

logical switch.
