Create an Ethernet connection and log in
Create an Ethernet connection to the 4Gb SAN Switch:
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet
network containing the workstation.
After this connection is made, you can access the 4Gb SAN Switch remotely, by
command line or by Advanced Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is not being modified
from any other connections during the remaining steps.
2.
Log in to the switch by telnet, using the admin account.
Modify the FC domain ID (optional)
If desired, you can modify the FC domain ID. The default FC domain ID is domain 1. If the
4Gb SAN Switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default FC
domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a
unique value. If the switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the
default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
You can determine the domain IDs that are currently in use by typing fabricshow. The
maximum number of domains with which the 4Gb SAN Switch communicates with is
determined by this switch's fabric license.
To modify the domain ID:
1.
Disable the switch by typing switchdisable.
2.
Type configure, and then type a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.
3.
At the Fabric parameters prompt, type Y and press Enter:
4.
Enter a unique domain ID. For example:
5.
Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining default settings.
6.
Re-enable the switch by typing switchenable.
7.
Confirm any changes made to the domain ID by typing fabricshow.
8.
Optionally, verify switch policy settings and specify any custom status policies that need to
change:
a. Type switchstatuspolicyshow to verify the current policy settings. If desired,
change switch policy settings by typing switchstatuspolicyset at the prompt.
This command sets the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.
