Initial Configuration Configuration Requirement ■ The Core PID must be enabled on all 2.6.0c + and 3.0.2g + switches. See (Optional) Enabling Core PID Addressing. (Optional) Enabling Core PID Addressing To enable Core PID addressing on 2.6.0c or 3.0.2g switches for the purpose of mixing in to a 4.x.x fabric: 1. Telnet into the switch. 2. Log into the switch as admin. 3. Disable the switch by entering the switchdisable command. 4. Enter the configure command (the configure prompts display sequentially). 5. Enter "y" after the "Fabric parameters" prompt. Be sure to use the same configuration parameters as the rest of your fabric. 6. Enter "1" at the "Core Switch PID Format" prompt. This enables the Core PID addressing, and allows the non-4.x switch to merge into a 4.x fabric. 7. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the prompts. 8. Be sure to use the same configuration parameters as the rest of your fabric. 9. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all 2.6.0c or 3.0.2g switches that you want to incorporate into the mixed fabric. Considering Additional Fabric Configurations In addition to the fabric configurations set through the configure command, additional configurations can be set. The following are some additional configurations to consider: Set Routing Track Changes Status Policies See Routing on page 65. See Tracking Switch Changes on page 63.
