McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
Note that at least one switch in a multiswitch fabric needs to be set as
Principal or Default. If all of the switches are set to Never Principal, all
of the interswitch links (ISLs) will segment. If all but one switch is set
to Never Principal and the switch that was principal goes offline, then
all of the other ISLs will segment.
NOTE: We recommend you leave the switch priority setting as Default. If you
are considering setting this value to something other than default, refer to the
section on principal switch selection for multiswitch fabrics in the McDATA
Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual (626-000124) for details.
In, for example, the audit log, you may notice that the Principal
setting maps to a number code of 1, Default maps to a number code of
254, and Never Principal maps to a number code of 255. The number
codes of 2 - 253 are not currently in use.
Interop Mode Select one of the following options:
• McDATA Fabric 1.0. Select this mode if the fabric contains only
McDATA switches and switches that are operating in McDATA
Fabric 1.0 mode.
• Open Fabric 1.0 (Default). Select this mode if the fabric contains
McDATA directors and switches, as well as other open-fabric
compliant switches. Select this mode for managing
heterogeneous fabrics.
Configure Ports
(Open Systems
Mode)
If the switch is set to open systems mode, perform this procedure to
define Fibre Channel port names, configure ports as blocked or
unblocked, enable extended distance operation and link incident
(LIN) alerts, configure port binding, and define port types.
To configure switch ports (Open Systems Management Style only):
1. At the Hardware View for the selected switch, click the Configure
icon at the navigation control panel and select Ports from the
Configure menu. The Configure Ports dialog box (open systems
mode) displays.
a. Select a blank Name field and type a descriptive port name of
24 or fewer alphanumeric characters. Use a name that reflects
the device connected to the port.
