Note: Any time the serial port is not in use, install the protective plug to keep foreign material out of the port. Creating an Ethernet connection and logging in Create an Ethernet connection to the switch by performing the following steps: 1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port ( 1 in Figure 8 on page 17) and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network that contains the workstation. After this connection is made, the switch can be accessed remotely by command line or by using Advanced Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is not being modified from any other connections during the remaining steps. 2. Log in to the switch with Telnet using the admin account. Modifying the domain ID (optional) If desired, you can modify the domain ID. The default domain ID is domain 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 it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, Principal Switch in the fabric detects the attempt to use a previously allocated domain ID and segments the ISL to that switch. The fabric is otherwise unaffected and continues to operate normally. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric. Note: The SAN16B-2 is an entry-level switch and should not be included in fabrics with more than 10 domains. To modify the domain ID, perform the following steps: 1. Disable the switch by entering switchDisable. 2. Enter configure. Enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value. 3. At the Fabric Parameters prompt, enter y and press Enter, as the following example shows: Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y 4. Enter a unique domain ID, such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if still available, as the following example shows: Domain: (1..239) [1] 3 5. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining default settings without going through each prompt. 6. Re-enable the switch by entering the switchEnable command. Installing the SFP transceivers If your switch came without SFP transceivers installed, or if the transceivers have been removed, use the following procedure to install them into the Fibre Channel ports. See "Installing an SFP" on page 29 for more detailed instructions. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. To install SFP transceivers, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the protective plugs from the ports to be used. Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the SAN16B-2 19

Note:
Any
time
the
serial
port
is
not
in
use,
install
the
protective
plug
to
keep
foreign
material
out
of
the
port.
Creating
an
Ethernet
connection
and
logging
in
Create
an
Ethernet
connection
to
the
switch
by
performing
the
following
steps:
1.
Connect
an
Ethernet
cable
to
the
Ethernet
port
(
±1²
in
Figure
8
on
page
17)
and
to
the
workstation
or
to
an
Ethernet
network
that
contains
the
workstation.
After
this
connection
is
made,
the
switch
can
be
accessed
remotely
by
command
line
or
by
using
Advanced
Web
Tools.
Ensure
that
the
switch
is
not
being
modified
from
any
other
connections
during
the
remaining
steps.
2.
Log
in
to
the
switch
with
Telnet
using
the
admin
account.
Modifying
the
domain
ID
(optional)
If
desired,
you
can
modify
the
domain
ID.
The
default
domain
ID
is
domain
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
it
has
been
powered
on
and
the
default
domain
ID
is
already
in
use,
Principal
Switch
in
the
fabric
detects
the
attempt
to
use
a
previously
allocated
domain
ID
and
segments
the
ISL
to
that
switch.
The
fabric
is
otherwise
unaffected
and
continues
to
operate
normally.
To
find
the
domain
IDs
that
are
currently
in
use,
run
the
fabricShow
command
on
another
switch
in
the
fabric.
Note:
The
SAN16B-2
is
an
entry-level
switch
and
should
not
be
included
in
fabrics
with
more
than
10
domains.
To
modify
the
domain
ID,
perform
the
following
steps:
1.
Disable
the
switch
by
entering
switchDisable
.
2.
Enter
configure
.
Enter
a
new
value
or
press
Enter
to
accept
each
default
value.
3.
At
the
Fabric
Parameters
prompt,
enter
y
and
press
Enter
,
as
the
following
example
shows:
Fabric
parameters
(yes,
y,
no,
n):
[no]
y
4.
Enter
a
unique
domain
ID,
such
as
the
domain
ID
used
by
the
previous
switch,
if
still
available,
as
the
following
example
shows:
Domain:
(1..239)
[1]
3
5.
Complete
the
remaining
prompts
or
press
Ctrl+D
to
accept
the
remaining
default
settings
without
going
through
each
prompt.
6.
Re-enable
the
switch
by
entering
the
switchEnable
command.
Installing
the
SFP
transceivers
If
your
switch
came
without
SFP
transceivers
installed,
or
if
the
transceivers
have
been
removed,
use
the
following
procedure
to
install
them
into
the
Fibre
Channel
ports.
See
“Installing
an
SFP”
on
page
29
for
more
detailed
instructions.
The
ports
selected
for
use
in
trunking
groups
must
meet
specific
requirements.
For
a
list
of
these
requirements,
refer
to
the
Brocade
Fabric
OS
Administrator’s
Guide
.
To
install
SFP
transceivers,
perform
the
following
steps:
1.
Remove
the
protective
plugs
from
the
ports
to
be
used.
