Configuration and verification task guide
Before connecting the device to the fabric, use the following tasks to initially
configure and setup the device, verify correct operation, and back up the
configuration.
The configuration information is mirrored to the standby CP blade, which allows
the current configuration to remain available even if the active CP blade fails. The
configuration information for the device is stored in the WWN cards and the flash
memory of the CP blades. The configuration can be backed up to a workstation
(uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP blade if necessary.
Note: The device WWN is set by the factory to match the license ID (which is
based on the chassis serial number).
Table 6. Configuration and verification tasks
Task Task details or additional information
Establish a serial connection to the device
(chassis). Connect a serial cable to the console port on
active CP blade and use a terminal emulator
program (such as HyperTerminal on a PC,
or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment) to log in to the console port
and device. The blue "Active" LED
illuminates on the active CP blade.
Configure IP addresses for the device. Configure an IP address and subnet mask
for a chassis management connection.
Configure IP addresses, host names, subnet
masks, and gateway addresses for both
control processor (CP) blades.
