B-Series Multi-protocol Router blade installation guide 19
Configure FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services and enable the ports
The ports on the B-Series MP Router blade are initially set to persistently disabled.
If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_port use the
portcfgpersistentenable command to enable the ports.
If you are using the FC ports as EX_Ports you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services
feature prior to enabling the ports.
The GbE ports can only be used once you have configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports.
See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.1.x administrator guide for detailed instructions on
configuring the Fibre Channel Router ports and GbE ports on the B-Series MP Router blade.
Cable the B-Series MP Router blade
To complete the switch configuration:
1. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel and GbE ports, as required.
a. Remove the rubber plugs from the ports to be used.
b. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly
seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, see the transceiver manufacturer’s
documentation.
NOTE: The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
c. Repeat Steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required.
2. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
CAUTION: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 inches under full tensile
load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables
because they are easily overtightened.
a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the
slot in the transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism
clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s documentation.
b. Repeat Step a for the remaining cables as required.
3. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
4. Log in to the 4/256 SAN Director director as admin.
5. Verify the correct operation of the B-Series MP Router blade ports by typing the switchShow
command from the 4/256 SAN Director command prompt. This command provides information
about switch and port status.
