4. Type the PFE key and click Activate. The interface displays a
confirmation page with a warning, stating this action overrides
the current set of switch features.
5. Click Activate to activate the new PFE key. The switch performs
an IPL when the key is activated.
NOTE: When Activate is selected, all current features are replaced with
new features. Features not included in the new feature key are no longer
available on the system. Because of this, it is important to verify that the
feature key enables all of designed features.
6. Set the switch online as follows:
a. At the Configure panel, select the Operations option at the left
side of the panel. The Operations panel opens and the Switch
page displays with the Beacon tab selected
b. Click the Online State tab, then click Set Online. The message
Your operations changes have been successfully activated
appears.
NOTE: PFE keys are encoded to work with the serial number of the
installed switch only. Record the key to re-install the feature if required.
If the switch fails and must be replaced, obtain new PFE keys from the
McDATA Solution Center (800-752-4572 or [e-mail]).
Please have the serial numbers of the failed and replacement switches,
and the old PFE key number or transaction code.
7. Go to Task 4: Configure Switch Network Information (Optional)
below.
Task 4: Configure Switch Network Information (Optional)
The switch is delivered with default network addresses as follows:
• MAC address - The media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into FLASH memory on the control processor (CTP)
card at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for
each switch, and should not be changed.
• IP address - The default IP address is 10.1.1.10. If multiple
switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch must have a
unique IP address. One switch can use the default address, but
the addresses of the remaining switches must be changed.
