Dell PowerEdge 1955 McDATA 4416 Fibre Channel Switch Module - Page 9

To configure the SilkWorm 4016: 1. Create a serial connection to the DRAC/MC of the PowerEdge 1855 chassis. Refer to the PowerEdge 1855 documentation for details about setting up the terminal emulator to connect and log in to the PowerEdge 1855 chassis DRAC/MC. 2. After POST is complete and the switch is in a healthy state, log in to the switch as admin: a. At the command prompt, type connect switch-3 or connect switch-4 depending on which bay the Silkworm 4016 is occupying (bay 3 or bay 4, respectively). b. Log in to the Silkworm 4016 switch as admin and enter the password. 3. By default, the IP address is configured to 10.77.77.77. Replace the default IP address and related information by issuing the ipAddrSet command and entering the requested information at the prompts, as shown in the following example: switch:admin> ipaddrset Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47 Ethernet Subnetmask [255.0.0.0]:255.255.240.0 Fibre Channel IP Address [0.0.0.0]: Fibre Channel Subnetmask [0.0.0.0]: Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:10.32.48.1 Set IP address now? [y = set now, n = next reboot]:y IP address being changed... Committing configuration...Done. switch:admin> Optionally, verify that the address was correctly set by typing the ipAddrShow command. 4. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port and connect an Ethernet cable to the switch Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation. Note At this point, the switch can be accessed remotely, by command line or by Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is not being modified from any other connections during the remaining tasks. 5. Log on to the switch by telnet, using the administrative account. 6. Modify the domain ID if required. The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric. a. On the SilkWorm 4016 that is being configured, disable the switch using the switchDisable command. b. Enter the configure command. The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value. The SilkWorm 4016 now has a unique domain ID and can join the fabric.
