Installing and Configuring the FC 6164 53
j. Remove the serial cable and replace the shipping plug.
k. Repeat steps a through j for the remaining five switches in the FC 6164.
Note
The serial port is intended for initial setting of the IP address and
for service purposes. Using the serial port during normal switch
operation or for regular maintenance is not recommended.
3. Connect all six switches by Ethernet to the LAN on which the workstation
resides.
a. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on each switch.
b. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable in each Ethernet port.
c. Connect the other end to an existing Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN.
Note
When the Ethernet connection is made, remote Telnet and Web
access is available. If the FC 6164 becomes connected to a larger
network by this step, ensure that the system is not being modified from
more than one connection during the following steps.
4. Modify the domain IDs if desired.
Note
The default domain IDs on the six original switches shipped with
the FC 6164, starting with switch 1, are 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, and
236. If a domain ID is already in use when the FC 6164 is connected to
the fabric, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a
unique value. The current domain IDs in use can be determined by
issuing the Telnet command
fabricShow
on a switch connected to the
larger SAN fabric.
a. Log on with administrative privileges to the first switch, using a Telnet
connection.
b. Disable the switch by entering the following:
