Intrepid® 6064 Director Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
To configure optional security features, refer to the McDATA EFCM
Basic Edition User Manual (620-000240).
Configure Interswitch Links
This section describes optional ISL performance features configured
through Configure menu selections. The OpenTrunking and preferred
path PFE keys must be installed (Install PFE Keys (Optional) on
page 2-26). Features include:
• OpenTrunking - Use the OpenTrunking View to optimize ISL
bandwidth. The feature monitors data rates (congestion and
BB_Credit starvation) through multiple ISLs and load balances
traffic (from congested to uncongested links) accordingly.
• Preferredpath-Use the PreferredPathViewto specify and
configure one or more ISL data paths between multiple fabric
elements. At each fabric element, a preferred path consists of a
source port, exit port, and destination Domain_ID.
• Port fencing - Use the Port Fencing View to minimize ISLs that
bounce (repeatedly attempt to establish a connection), causing
disruptive fabric rebuilds. Fencing defines a bounce threshold
that when reached, automatically blocks the disruptive E_Port.
To configure optional ISL performance features, refer to the McDATA
EFCM Basic Edition User Manual (620-000240) for instructions.
If no additional options or features are tobe configured, go to Task 21:
Cable Fibre Channel Ports.
Task 5: Configure Director Network Information (Optional)
The director is delivered with default network addresses as follows:
• MAC address - The media access control (MAC) address is
programmedinto FLASHmemoryon the controlprocessor(CTP)
card at manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each
product and should not be changed.
• IP address - The default IP address is 10.1.1.10.Ifmultiple
products are installed on the same LAN, each product (and the
management server) must have a unique IP address.
