Chapter 4. Connecting the IBM c-type SAN Director
This chapter includes the following sections:
v “Connection Guidelines”
v “Preparing for Network Connections”
v “Connecting to the Console Port”
v “Connecting to the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port” on page 92
v “Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port” on page 93
Connection Guidelines
The IBM c-type SAN Director provides the following types of ports:
v Console port (supervisor modules) - An RS-232 port that you can use to create a
local management connection.
v MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port (supervisor module) - An Ethernet port that
you can use to access and manage the switch by IP address, such as through the
Data Center Network Manager (DCNM).
v Fibre Channel ports (switching modules) - Fibre Channel (FC) ports that you can
use to connect to the SAN or for in-band management.
The IBM c-type SAN Director has two USB drives (in each Supervisor-1 module).
A simple USB interface that allows you to connect to different devices supported
by NX-OS. In the supervisor module, there are two USB drives, Slot 0 and LOG
FLASH. The LOG FLASH and Slot 0 USB ports use different formats for their data.
CAUTION:
When running power and data cables in overhead or sub floor cable trays, we
strongly recommend that power cables and other potential noise sources be
located as far away as is practical from network cabling that terminates on IBM
equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by
at least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend shielding any potential noise sources by
housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.
Preparing for Network Connections
When preparing your site for network connections to the IBM c-type SAN Director,
consider the following for each type of interface, and obtain all of the required
equipment before connecting the ports:
v Cabling required for each interface type
v Distance limitations for each signal type
v Additional interface equipment required
Connecting to the Console Port
About this task
The console port, labeled Console, is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface. It is
an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be
capable of asynchronous transmission.
