Task 27: Connect Switch to a Fabric Director (Optional)
2-129
Installation Tasks
a. If the switch is installed on a table or desk top, bundle and
secure the Fibre Channel cables as directed by the customer.
b. If the switch is installed in a customer-supplied equipment
rack, bundle Fibre Channel cables from the switch and other
equipment (groups of 16 maximum), and secure them as
directed by the customer.
c. If the switch is installed in a Fabricenter equipment cabinet,
bundle Fibre Channel cables from the switch and other
equipment (groups of 16 maximum), and secure them in the
cable management area at the front-left side of the cabinet.
4. Set the switch online (Set the Switch Online or Offline on page 4-44).
Task 27: Connect Switch to a Fabric Director (Optional)
To provide Fibre channel connectivity between public devices and
fabric-attached devices, connect the switch to an expansion port
(E_Port) of a McDATA Director. The switch port to director port
connection is called an interswitch link (ISL). In addition:
• If interop mode is set to McDATA Fabric, the switch can be
fabric-attached only to another McDATA switch or director.
• If interop mode is set to Open Fabric, the switch can be
fabric-attached to McDATA switches or directors, and to switches
or directors produced by other OEMs.
To fabric-attach the switch and create an ISL:
1. Ensure the switch is defined to the SAN management application
(defined while performing Task 13: Configure the Switch to the
Management Application on page 2-51)
2. Ensure the preferred domain ID for the switch is unique and does
not conflict with the ID of another switch participating in the
fabric. To change the domain ID, refer to Task 19: Configure the
Sphereon 3032/3232 Element Manager Applications on page 2-76.
3. Ensure the R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV values for the switch are
identical to the values for all switches participating in the fabric.
To change the values, refer to Task 19: Configure the Sphereon
3032/3232 Element Manager Applications on page 2-76.
