PowerConnect B-DCX-4S Configuration Overview
NOTE
If the Brocade FS8-18 encryption blade is installed, refer to the
Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s
Guide for the procedures to configure the encryption functions
.
The PowerConnect B-DCX-4S must be configured before it is connected to the fabric, and all of the
configuration commands must be entered through the active CP blade. The PowerConnect
B-DCX-4S configuration includes the following parameters:
•
IP address and subnet mask for the chassis
•
IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses for both CP blades
•
Switch name
•
Domain ID (optional)
•
WWN (optional)
The PowerConnect B-DCX-4S WWN is initially set by the factory to match the license ID (which is
based on the chassis serial number). The WWN can be changed but the license ID cannot be
modified.
