Step 6. Enter the following commands to start up zhp4/vlan5:
chmod 755 /etc/rcZ.d/S50fabric
/etc/rcZ.d/S50fabric start
Step 7. Enter the following commands to see if zhp4/vlan5 is properly configured:
zconfig -a
zhp4: vlan5 = zre0..51
zre0..51 = untag5
ifconfig zhp4
zhp4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:65:0C:F0:38

Now you have defined one VLAN (vlan5) that covers all fabric interfaces from zre0 to zre51on the
fabric side of the Switch Blade. Network administrators may want to configure the fabric side of the
Switch Blade differently, depending on their network requirements.
IMPORTANT The zre51 fabric port is the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) between the two Switch Blades.
If you do not want fabric traffic to pass from one Switch Blade to the other, do not
configure zre51.
NOTE For vlan5 to pass traffic to your fabric/payload network, you must run a network
cable from the Ethernet Switch Blade front panel (choose one of the RJ-45 connectors
labeled 20, 21, 22, or 23) to a network connector in your fabric/payload network. The
Switch Blade front panel fabric connectors are shown in Figure 7-10.
