Verifying connectivity
Verify fabric-wide device connectivity by displaying the fabric-wide device count. The number of devices
listed in the Name Server reflects the number of devices that are connected.
1. Log in as admin.
2. Issue the switchShow command to verify that local devices are achieving link connectivity.
3. Issue the nsShow command to display Name Server information and to verify that local devices have
successfully registered with it, as shown in the following example:
4. Issue the nsAllShow command to display the 24-bit Fibre Channel addresses of all devices in the
fabric:
Synchronizing time with an NTP server
All MP Routers maintain the current date and time in nonvolatile memory for event logging purposes;
proper switch operation does not depend on the correct date and time.
Use the following procedure to synchronize the local time of the MP Router to that of an external NTP
server. To synchronize all MP Routers in a fabric, run this procedure on each.
LE Level E 10 km at 1 Gbit/sec or 2 Gbit/sec
LS Level S 300 km at 1 Gbit/sec or 2 Gbit/sec
