Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/3252

a. Click 10-100 km to enable extended distance buffering for a port. A check mark in the box

indicates extended distance operation up to 100 kilometers (through repeaters) is enabled.

b. Click LIN Alerts to enable or disable LIN alerts for a port. A check mark in the box indicates

alerts are enabled. When the feature is enabled and an incident occurs on the link, an alert

indicator (yellow triangle) is displayed at the Hardware View, Port List View, and Port Card

View pages, and a message is sent to configured e-mail recipients. LIN alerts are enabled by

default.

c. Click the WWN Binding check box to display a check mark and enable WWN binding for

the port. This allows only a specific device to attach to the port. This device is specified by the

WWN or nickname entered into the Bound WWN column. With the check box cleared, any

device can attach to the port even if a WWN or nickname is specified in the Bound WWN

column.

d. Select a port speed in the Speed field.

e. Enter a World Wide Name (WWN) in the Bound WWN field in the proper format

(xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured through the Element Manager

application. The device with this WWN or nickname will have exclusive attachment to the

port if WWN Binding is enabled. If a valid WWN or nickname is not entered in this field,

but the WWN Binding check box is checked (enabled), then no devices can connect to the

port. If you enter a WWN or nickname in this field and do not place a check in the WWN

Binding check box, the WWN or nickname will be stored, and all devices can connect to

the port.

2. Use the vertical scroll bar as necessary to display additional port information rows (up to 64

ports).

3. Click Activate to save the configuration information and close the dialog box.

Configure port addresses (FICON)

If the switch is set to FICON management style, configure port addresses to access the switch matrix

and define Fibre Channel port names, configure ports as blocked or unblocked, and define the CUP

name. For instructions on configuring port addresses, refer to the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch

Element Manager user guide.
