Initial Configuration ● Preparing to configure the device................................................................................... 35 ● Establishing a serial connection to the device................................................................ 37 ● Logging in to the serial console port............................................................................... 38 ● Changing the RBridge ID................................................................................................
Configuration tasks Fabric cluster mode is defined as a fabric in which the data path for nodes is distributed each member in the fabric, but the configuration path is not distributed. Each node keeps its configuration database independently. Fabric cluster mode has three major characteristics: • The fabric is self-forming.
Establishing a serial connection to the device FIGURE 10 Configuration tasks Establishing a serial connection to the device The serial port is located on the port side of the chassis. The device uses an RJ-45 connector for the serial port. An RJ-45 to DB9 adapter is also provided with the product. The cable supplied with the product is a rollover cable. The serial port is used to connect to a workstation to configure the device IP address before connecting the device to a fabric or IP network.
Logging in to the serial console port 1. Verify that the device is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the management, switch fabric, and line card modules display a steady green light. 2. Remove the shipping cap from the serial port (labeled I0I0I ) on the active management module. By default, the management module installed in slot M1 is the active management module unless an error occurs.
Changing the RBridge ID passwords on page 39 for more details. Make sure to write down the new passwords and keep this information in a secure location. Network OS (8770HOST) 8770HOST console login: admin Password: WARNING: The default password of 'admin' and 'user' accounts have not been changed. Welcome to the Brocade Network Operating System Software admin connected from 127.0.0.
Changing the default account passwords Changing the default account passwords When you change the default account password after you log in for the first time, only the default password rule is in effect. The rule specifies a minimum password length of eight characters. For advanced user and role management, including setting password rules, refer to the Security chapter of the Network OS Administration Guide. NOTE Passwords can be 8 to 40 characters long. They must begin with an alphabetic character.
Logging off the serial console port and disconnecting the serial cable When you have assigned the IP and gateway addresses to management interface 1/1, you should also assign IP and gateway addresses to management interface 1/2 if you have installed a second management module. device(config)# interface Management 1/1 device(config-Management-1/1)# no ip address dhcp device(config-Management-1/1)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20 device(config-Management-1/1)# ip gateway-address 10.24.80.
Customizing a host name CAUTION To protect the Ethernet port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use. Perform the following steps to establish an Ethernet connection. 1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active management module. 2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port. 3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN.
Setting the date and time 1. Log in to the device using an account that has the admin role. 2. Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command. 3. Enter switch-attributes followed by the RBridge ID and the chassis-name operand with the new chassis name. If you have changed the RBridge ID, be sure to use that ID. device(config)# switch-attributes 1 chassis-name B8770_prime 4. Record the new name for reference. 5.
Synchronizing local time using NTP The ntp server command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4 or IPv6 format. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, ntp server sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. If there are no reachable time servers, then the local time is the default time. Synchronizing local time using NTP Perform the following steps to synchronize the local time using NTP. 1. Log on to the device using the admin account (the default password is password).
Configuring operating modes on 27x40 GbE line cards NOTE You should set the clock only if there are no NTP servers configured. Time synchronization from NTP servers overrides the local clock. 1. Log in to the device using an account that has the admin role. 2. Enter the clock set year-month-dayT hours:minutes:seconds command while in privileged EXEC mode. The following example sets the clock to March 17, 2012, 15 minutes past noon.
Displaying operating modes NOTE Setting Performance mode shuts down the density-only port in the port group. The configuration is allowed only when the slot is powered off and takes effect when the slot is powered on. Enter the no mode performance command to configure Density mode for a port group already configured for Performance mode. device(config-port-group-1/3/9)# no mode performance %Warning: port-group mode performance is a disruptive command.
Backing up the configuration 1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. 2. If necessary, log in to the device by Telnet, using the admin account. 3. Enter the show chassis command to verify that the device and its components are operating correctly. 4. Enter the show interface command to show the status of all of the ports in the line cards. 5. Enter the show fabric all command to verify the operation of the device in the fabric.
Connecting to Ethernet devices Connecting to Ethernet devices For copper connections to a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T device or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is required. NOTE The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well.
Installing QSFP transceivers and cables Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. 2. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way.
Initial Configuration • Generally, Velcro ® -type cable restraints are recommended to avoid creating sharp bends or kinks in the cables. Do not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers. • For easier maintenance, label the fiber-optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected. • Do not route cables in front of the air intake vents. • Route the cables to the top of the device through the cable comb.
