Installation Tasks
2. Connect device cables to SFP optical port transceivers. Start
with port 0 (far right) and continue sequentially to the left
through port 11.
3. Perform one of the following:
• If the switch is installed on a table or desk top, bundle and
secure the Fibre Channel cables as directed by the customer.
• 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.
• If the switch is installed in a McDATA 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.
Task 6: Configure Zoning (Optional)
Perform this procedure to:
• Configure, change, add, or delete zones. A zone is a group of
devices that can access each other through port- to-port
connections. Devices in the same zone can recognize and
communicate with each other; devices in different zones cannot.
• Configure, change, enable, or disable zone sets. A zone set is a
group of zones that is activated or deactivated as a single entity
across all managed products in either a single switch or a
multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time.
Configure Zones
To configure zones at the SANpilot interface:
1. At the Configure panel, click the Zoning tab. The Zoning page
displays with the Zone Set tab selected. Click the Zones tab. The
Zoning page displays with the Zones tab selected (Figure 2-28).
