  • Page 40: Configuring The Switch

    Configuring the switch Once you have set up the SAN24B-5 in a rack or as a standalone switch, it is time to attach power and set up a basic configuration. If you are going to use the SAN24B-5 in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration.

  • Page 41: Creating A Serial Connection

    /dev/ttya -9600 Setting the switch IP address You can configure the SAN24B-5 with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The SAN24B-5 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

  • Page 42: Setting The Switch Date And Time

    Setting the switch date and time The SAN24B-5 maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. The date and time settings are used for timestamping log events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.
  • Page 43 All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server IP address in non-volatile memory. By default, this value is LOCL, the local clock server of the Principal (when FCS is not enabled) or Primary (when FCS is enabled) switch. Changes to the clock server value on the Principal or Primary switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

  • Page 44: Inter-Switch Link (Isl) Trunking

    ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking group of ISLs between adjacent switches. Up to eight FC ports on the SAN24B-5 can be used as a trunking group to achieve speeds up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.

  • Page 45: Switch Status Policy

    Bad Fans contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..2) [0] <output truncated> If a second power supply and fan assembly unit is installed in the switch, IBM recommends changing the configuration to 2 and 1 for DOWN and MARGINAL for both the Bad PowerSupplies and Bad Fans. You can use the switchStatusPolicyShow command to see the results of your changes.
