Select File > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog. 2. Enter or browse for paths to the working directory and browser. 3. Choose the preferences you want in the Application-wide Options area. 4. Click OK to save the changes.
McDATA Web Server user interface The McDATA Web Server application uses two basic displays to manage the fabric and individual switches: the topology display and the faceplate display. The topology display shows all switches that are able to communicate and all connections between switches. The faceplate display shows the front of a single switch and its ports. Both displays share some common elements as shown in Figure 4.
Topology display menu The menu options available in the topology display are shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 Topology display menu Faceplate display menu The menu options available in the faceplate display are shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 Faceplate display menu NOTE: The Security menu is only displayed if Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled. Select Switch > Services > SSL to enable SSL. Refer to ”System Services dialog” on page 80 for more information.
Shortcut keys Shortcut key combinations, available in both the topology and faceplate displays, provide an alternative method of accessing menu options. The shortcut key combinations are not case-sensitive. For example, to exit the application, press Alt+F > X. Tool bar The tool bar consists of a row of graphical buttons that you can use to access McDATA Web Server functions as shown in Table 3. The tool bar buttons are an alternative method to using the menu bar.
Fabric tree The fabric tree lists the managed fabrics and their switches as shown in Figure 7. The window width can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the moveable window border. An entry handle located to the left of an entry in the tree indicates that the entry can be expanded or collapsed. Click this handle or double-click the entry to expand or collapse a fabric tree entry. A fabric entry expands to show its member switches.
Working status Indicator The working status indicator, located in the lower right corner of the McDATA Web Server window, shows when the management workstation is exchanging information with the fabric. As conditions change, the fabric forwards this information to the management workstation where it is reflected in the various displays. Using the topology display The topology display shown in Figure 8 receives information from the selected fabric and displays its topology.

Additional logins will be refused. • If the entry switch has SSL (Secure Socket Layer) enabled, the switch will generate and display a Verify Certificate dialog that you must accept before gaining access to the fabric.
Adding a new switch to a fabric If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, simply plug in the switch and the switch becomes functional with the default fabric configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are: • Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric. • External ports are 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps ports and are GL_Ports. Internal ports are 2-Gbps ports and are FL_Ports. • The default static IP address of 10.0.0.1 and gateway of 10.0.0.
CAUTION: Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning configuration. c. Power up the switch. 3. Select the failed switch in the topology display. Select Switch > Delete. 4. Restore the configuration from the failed switch to the replacement switch: a. Open a new fabric through the replacement switch. Refer to ”Adding a fabric” on page 39 for more information. b. Open the faceplate display for the replacement switch.
The topology display uses switch and status icons to provide status information about switches, inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection. The switch status icons, displayed on the left side of a switch, vary in shape and color. Switches controlled by an Ethernet Internet Protocol have a colored Ethernet icon displayed on the right side of the switch.
Entries in the Event Browser shown in Figure 21 are formatted by severity, time stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed in the Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch is 1200. Once the maximum is reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events are discarded and replaced with the new events. Event entries from the switch, use the switch time stamp, while event entries generated by the application have a workstation time stamp.
NOTE: Events (alarms, critical, warning, and informative) generated by the application are not saved on the switch. They are permanently discarded when you close a McDATA Web Server session, but you can save these events to a file on the workstation before you close McDATA Web Server and read it later with a text editor or browser. Events generated by the switch are stored on switch, and will be retrieved when the application is restarted. Some alarms are configurable.
Saving the Event Browser to a file You can save the displayed Event Browser entries to a file. Filtering affects the save operation, because only displayed events are saved. To save the Event Browser to a file, perform the following procedure: 1. Filter and sort the Event Browser to obtain the desired display. Refer to ”Filtering the Event Browser” on page 45 and ”Sorting the Event Browser” on page 45 for more information. 2. Select File > Save As. 3.
Active Zone Set data window The Active Zoneset data window, shown in Figure 23, shows the zone membership for the active zone set that resides on the fabric management switch. The active zone set is the same on all switches in the fabric – you can confirm this by adding a fabric through another switch and comparing Active Zone Set displays. Click the Active Zoneset data window tab in the topology display (only) to open the Active Zoneset data window.
Displaying detailed device information In addition to the information that is available in the Devices data window, you can click (i) in the Details column to display more information as shown in Figure 24. Figure 24 Detailed Device Display dialog Exporting device information to a file To save device information to a file, open the topology display and perform the following procedure: 1. Select one or more switches. If no switches are selected, devices information is gathered for all switches. 2.
Creating a nickname To create a device port nickname, perform the following procedure: 1. Select File > Nicknames to open the Nicknames dialog. 2. Choose one of the following methods to enter a nickname. A nickname must start with a letter and can have up to 64 characters. Valid characters include alphanumeric characters [aA—zZ][0—9] and special symbols [$ _ - ^ ]. • Click on a device in the table. Select Edit > Create Nickname to open the Add Nickname dialog.
Zoning a fabric If EFCM or HAFM are used to manage the fabric, it is recommended to use EFCM or HAFM to manage the fabric zoning. If EFCM or HAFM are not used and other McDATA switch models are in the fabric, it is recommended to use SANpilot or Embedded Web Server to manage the fabric zoning. If all switches in the fabric are McDATA 4Gb SAN switches, use the zoning management of these switches as described in this manual.
Zone sets A zone set is a named group of zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set. Each switch in the fabric maintains its own zoning database containing one or more zone sets. This zoning database resides in non-volatile or permanent memory and is therefore retained after a reset. Refer to ”Configured Zonesets data windows” on page 72 for information about displaying the zoning database.
• MaxTotalMembers is 10,000. The maximum number of total zone and alias members that can be configured on the switch. This will be enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning database merge from the fabric. Aliases are considered zone members since they can be added to a zone just like a normal zone member. • MaxZonesInZoneSets is 2000. The maximum number of zone linkages to zonesets that can be configured on the switch.
You cannot edit an active zone set on a switch. You must configure an inactive zone set to your needs and then activate that updated zone set to apply the changes to the fabric. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the fabric. However, in addition to the merged active zone set, each switch maintains its own original zone set in its zoning database. Only one zone set can be active at one time.
Table 7 Edit Zoning dialog tool bar buttons and icons (continued) Tool bar button Description NL_Port (loop) device icon — logged in to fabric NL_Port (loop) device icon — not logged in to fabric N_Port device icon — logged in to fabric N_Port device icon — not logged in to fabric Configuring the zoning database Use the Zoning Config dialog to change the Interop Auto Save, Default Visibility, Default Zone, and Discard Inactive configuration parameters. Open the faceplate display.
Default Visibility The Default Visibility parameter is only applicable when the Interop Mode option on the Advanced Switch Properties dialog is set to Standard. The Default Visibility parameter determines the level of communication that is permitted between devices when there is no active zone set. It is recommended that all switches have the same Default Visibility setting.
To restore the default zoning for a switch, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Zoning > Restore Default Zoning in the faceplate display. 2. Click OK to confirm that you want to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database. Removing all zoning definitions To clear all zone and zone set definitions from the zoning database, select Zoning > Edit Zoning in the faceplate display and choose one of the following: • Select Edit > Clear Zoning.
Activating and deactivating a zone set You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch in the fabric. To activate a zone set, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Zoning > Activate Zone Set to open the Activate Zone Set dialog. 2. Select a zone set from the Select Zone Set drop-down list. 3.
Managing zones Managing zones involves the following: • Creating a zone in a zone set, page 58 • Adding zone members, page 58 • Renaming a zone or a zone set, page 59 • Removing a zone member, page 59 • Removing a zone from a zone Set, page 59 • Removing a zone from all zone sets, page 59 NOTE: Changes you save to the zoning database on a switch are not propagated to other switches in the fabric unless you activate a zone set or edit the zoning databases on the individual switches in the fabric.
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. Press and hold Control while selecting multiple ports/devices. Select a zone set in the left pane. Click Insert. If the port/device you want to add is not in the Port/Device tree, you can add it by doing the following: a. Right-click the selected zone. b. Select Edit > Create Members. c. Select the WWN or Domain/Port option. d.
Managing aliases An alias is a collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone, and cannot have a zone or another alias as a member. NOTE: Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches.
Merging fabrics and zoning If you join two fabrics with an inter-switch link, the active zone sets from the two fabrics attempt to merge automatically. The fabrics may consist of a single switch or many switches already connected together. The switches in the two fabrics attempt to create a new active zone set containing the union of each fabric's active zone set. The propagation of zoning information only affects the active zone set, not the configured zone sets, unless Interop Auto Save is turned on.
Managing fabrics
3 Managing switches This section describes the following tasks that manage switches in the fabric.
Creating user accounts A switch can have a maximum of 15 user accounts. To create a new user account on a switch, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Switch > User Accounts in the faceplate display to open the User Account Administration dialog. 2. Click the Add Account tab to open the Add Account tab page shown in Figure 27. 3. Enter an account name in the New Account Login field. Account names are limited to 15 characters. 4.
Removing a user account To remove a user account on a switch, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Switch > User Accounts in the faceplate display to open the User Account Administration dialog. 2. Click the Remove Account tab to open the Remove Account tab page shown in Figure 28. 3. Select the account (login) name from the list of accounts at the top of the dialog. 4. Click Remove Account. 5. Click Close to close the User Account Administration dialog.
Changing a user account password Any user can change their password for their account, but only the Admin account name can change the password for another user’s account. If the administrator does not know the user’s original password, the administrator must remove the account and add the account. To change the password for an account on a switch, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Switch > User Accounts in the faceplate display to open the User Account Administration dialog. 2.
Modifying a user account To modify a user account on a switch, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Switch > User Accounts in the faceplate display to open the User Account Administration dialog. 2. Click the Modify Account tab to open the Modify Account tab page shown in Figure 30. 3. Select the account (login) name from the list of accounts at the top of the dialog. 4. Select the Admin Authority Enabled option to grant admin authority to the account name. 5. Select an Account Expiration Date option.

FDMI HBA Entry Limit Maximum number of HBAs that can be registered with a switch. FDMI Enable Fabric Device Management Interface status. If enabled, device information can be obtained, managed, and saved through the fabric using Name Service Management Server functions.
Configured Zonesets data windows The Configured Zonesets data window displays all zone sets, zones, aliases, and zone membership in the zoning database, shown in Figure 32. Click the Configured Zonesets data window tab in the faceplate display to open the Configured Zonesets data window. Click the Active Zonesets data window tab in the topology display to view the active zone set in the Active Zonesets data window.
Configuring port threshold alarms You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample window, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm. To configure port threshold alarms, perform the following procedure: 1. Open the faceplate display. 2. Select Switch > Port Threshold Alarm Configuration.
NOTE: The switch will down a port if a rising trigger alarm is not cleared after three consecutive sample windows. Generate rising trigger alarm; eligibility ends Generate rising trigger alarm; eligibility ends Rising trigger Event count Generate falling trigger alarm; eligibility is reset Falling trigger Sample window Figure 34 Port threshold alarm example 8. Enter a sample window in seconds. The sample window defines the period of time in which to count events. 9.
Resetting a switch Resetting a switch reboots the switch using the switch configuration parameters last saved in permanent memory on the switch. Depending on the reset type, a switch reset may or may not include a Power On Self Test (POST) or it may or may not disrupt traffic. Table 9 describes the types of switch resets. During a hotreset operation, fabric services will be unavailable for a short period (30—75 seconds depending on switch model).
Configuring a switch Switch configuration is divided into three areas: chassis configuration, network configuration, and SNMP configuration. Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide FC settings. Network configuration specifies IP settings, remote logging, and the NTP client. SNMP configuration specifies SNMP settings and traps. You can configure a switch explicitly or you can use the Configuration Wizard.
Switch administrative states The switch administrative state determines the operational state of the switch. The switch administrative state exists in two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state. • The configured administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch configuration and is preserved across switch resets. McDATA Web Server always makes changes to the configured administrative state.
In McDATA Fabric mode, the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch will display the domain IDs the same as other M-series directors and edge switches no matter which management utility is used. The valid domain ID range is 1—31 for McDATA Fabric mode. Prior to changing from McDATA Fabric mode to Standard mode, it is recommended that the switch be isolated from the fabric (take switch offline) before making the configuration changes and all domain IDs in the fabric should be noted to avoid conflicts.
Use the FDMI Enabled option on the Switch Properties dialog to enable or disable FDMI. If FDMI is enabled on an HBA, the HBA forwards information about itself to the switch when the HBA logs into the switch. If FDMI is enabled on a switch, the switch stores the HBA information in its FDMI database. Disabling FDMI on a switch clears the FDMI database.
Timeout values The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch. Table 13 describes the switch timeout parameters. The timeout values must be the same for all switches in the fabric. NOTE: Mismatched timeout values will disrupt the fabric. These should not be changed unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, the switch must be offline to change these values. Use the Switch Properties dialog to take the switch offline.
CAUTION: Use caution when disabling the Embedded GUI (McDATA Web Server), GUI Mgmt, Telnet, SSL, and SSH, as it is possible to disable all access to the switch. • Embedded GUI — McDATA Web Server. Allows users to point a browser at the switch and run the embedded switch management application on that switch as an applet. • GUI Mgmt — allows out-of-band management of the switch from the switch management application (GUI).
Network properties Use the Network Properties dialog shown in Figure 38 to change IP configuration parameters and enable remote logging. To open the Network Properties dialog, choose one of the following: • Select a switch in the topology display. Select Switch > Network Properties. • Open the faceplate display. Select Switch > Network Properties. Click OK to put any new values into effect.

When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in the Logging Host IP Address field.
SNMP configuration The SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed. Table 15 describes the SNMP configuration parameters. The illegal characters for the user-defined fields are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
SNMP trap configuration The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs Trap1 – Trap 5 to configure each trap. Table 16 describes the SNMP configuration parameters. Table 16 SNMP trap configuration parameters Parameter Description Trap Version Specifies the SNMP version (1 or 2) with which to format traps Trap 1 Enabled 1 Enables or disables the trap. If disabled, traps are not configurable. Trap Address Specifies the IP address to which SNMP traps are sent.
Restoring a switch Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the switch. The switch configuration must be archived before it can be restored. The switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored; that is, you can restore a McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch only with an archive from a McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch. Refer to ”Archiving a switch” on page 85 for more information. NOTE: The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from the fabric.
• Configured Zoning — restores all configured zone sets, zones, and aliases in the switch’s zoning database, excluding the active zone set.

4 Managing ports This section describes the following topics about managing ports and devices: • Displaying port information, page 93 • Configuring ports, page 100 • Resetting a port, page 102 • Testing ports, page 102 Displaying port information Port information is available primarily in the faceplate display shown in Figure 44. The faceplate display data windows provide information and statistics for switches and ports.
Monitoring port status The faceplate display provides the following port related information: • Port type • Port operational state • Port speed • Port media To display port number and status information for a port, position the cursor over a port on the faceplate display. The status information changes depending on the View menu option selected. Displaying port types To display port type status, from the faceplate display, select View > View Port Types.
Displaying port speeds To display the speed of each port in the faceplate display, select View > View Port Speeds. Table 20 lists the possible port speeds. Table 20 Port speeds State Description Au Auto-detect 1Gb 1-Gbps transmission speed 2Gb 2-Gbps transmission speed 4Gb 4-Gbps transmission speed Displaying transceiver media status To display transceiver media status, select View > View Port Media. Table 21 lists the port media states and their meanings. Table 21 .
Port Statistics data window The Port Statistics data window displays statistics about port performance. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display that you want to view statistics. Click the Port Stats data window tab to open the Port Statistics window. Table 22 describes the Port Statistics data window entries. The Statistics drop-down list is available on the Port Statistics data window, and provides different ways to view detailed port information. Click the down arrow to open the drop-down list.
Table 22 Port Statistics data window entries (continued) Entry Description Flow Errors Number of times a frame is received and all the switch ports receive buffers are full. The normal Fabric Login exchange of flow control credit should prevent this from occurring. The frame will be discarded. FReject Number of frames, from devices, that have been rejected. Frames can be rejected for any of a large number of reasons.
Table 22 Port Statistics data window entries (continued) Entry Description Total Rx Frames Total number of frames received by the port Total Rx Words Total number of words received by the port Total Tx Frames Total number of frames transmitted by the port Total Tx Words Total number of words transmitted by the port Tx Link Resets Number of link reset primitives sent from this port to an attached port Total Offline Sequences Total number of offline sequences transmitted and received by the port
Table 23 Port Information data window entries (continued) Entry Description MFS Mode Multiple Frame Sequence bundling status I/O Stream Guard Not applicable Administrative Port Speed The speed requested by the user Operational Port Speed The speed actually being used by the port Device Scan Device scan status. Enabled means the switch queries the connected device during login for FC-4 descriptor information.
Configuring ports The port settings or characteristics are configured using the Port Properties dialogs shown in Figure 45. Select a port in the faceplate display. Select Port > Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog. The Port Properties dialog shows the switch name and the selected ports.
Changing port speeds The 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps ports are capable of transmitting and receiving at 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 4-Gbps. The ports can be configured for either transmission speed or to sense the transmission speed of the device to which it is connected. Table 25 describes the port speeds. To change the port speed, perform the following procedure: 1. Select one or more 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps ports in the faceplate display. 2. Select Port > Port Properties. 3.
Changing port symbolic name To change the symbolic name of a port from the faceplate display, perform the following procedure: 1. Open the faceplate display and select a port. 2. Select Port > Port Symbolic Name. 3. In the Port Symbolic Name dialog, choose one of the following: • Enter a new name for the port in the Set Port Symbolic Name field. The symbolic name can have up to 32 characters. • Select the Restore Default Port Symbolic Name option to restore the default name. 4. Click OK.
• Node-to-Node (online) — the Node-to-Node test verifies communications between the port and its device node or device loop. The port being tested must be online and connected to a remote device. The port passes the test if the frame that was sent by the ASIC matches the frame that was received. This test does not disrupt communication on the selected port. This test requires that the port be online, and therefore, does not disrupt communication.
Managing ports
5 Command Line Interface The Command Line Interface (CLI) enables you to perform a variety of fabric and switch management tasks through an Ethernet connection.
Working with switch configurations Successful management of switches and fabrics with the CLI depends on the effective use of switch configurations. Modifying configurations, backing up configurations, and restoring configurations are key switch management tasks. Modifying a configuration A switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration. Each switch configuration contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration components.
Backing up and restoring switch configurations Backing up and restoring a configuration is useful to protect your work or for use as a template in configuring other switches. The Config Backup command creates a file on the switch, named configdata. This file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the CLI; it cannot be used to restore a switch using McDATA Web Server.
Commands The command syntax is as follows: command operand operand [value] operand [value1] [value2] The command is followed by one or more operands. Consider the following rules and conventions: • Commands and operand are case insensitive. • Required operand values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in italics: [value]. • Underlined portions of the operand in the command format indicate the abbreviated form that can be used. For example the Delete operand can be abbreviated Del.
