Connecting the switch module to the Ethernet network
Follow the on-screen instructions and supply the correct information, as shown in the following
example.
switch:admin > ipaddrset
Ethernet IP address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47
Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]:255.255.240.0
Fibre Channel IP Address [none]:
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [none]:
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 10.32.48.1
DHCP [Off]:
IP address is being changed ... Done.
5. Enter the
ipAddrShow
command to verify that the IP address was correctly set.
Connecting the switch module to the Ethernet network
The switch module has internal ports that interact with the chassis. Once you have successfully set the
appropriate IP address of the switch module, you can establish an Ethernet connection using the
Inspur Shangri-la Blade Server Chassis Management GUI.
Connecting the switch module through chassis management
The internal Ethernet connection is the default configuration and no action is required.
Connecting the switch module to the fabric
Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the switch module is in Brocade Access
Gateway mode or Fabric OS Native mode. The mode affects the configuration process.
If the switch module is in Fabric OS Native mode, continue with step 2 and step 3. If the switch module
is in Access Gateway mode, go on to step 4.
1. Log in to the switch module through a Telnet connection.
2. Modify the domain ID, if required, using switch module CLI commands. Refer to the “Domain IDs”
section of the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
for more information.
NOTE
It may take up to 20 seconds for the newly added switch module to appear in the fabric display with
its newly-assigned domain ID.
3. If you need to install SFP+ optical transceivers, install them in the external Fibre Channel ports as
required.
NOTE
Use only Brocade-branded SFP+ optical transceivers on the external optical ports of this module.
4. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
NOTE
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
