Connecting to the CLI. Setting the date and time. Issue the date command using the following syntax: date mmddHHMMyy where: mm is the month; valid values are 01 through HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through Verifying installed licenses. For example: Domain: Optionally, verify switch policy settings, and specify any custom status policies that need to change: Enter switchstatuspolicyshow to verify the current policy settings.
Customize the status policies as desired. Disabling and enabling a switch. Issue the switchDisable command. Issue the switchEnable command. Disabling and enabling a port. Automatically detecting HBA connected server ports or cabled ports Automatically enabling ports Automatically assigning port licenses. DPOD commands. Note that both switches are running the major version Being that we're interested in High Availability, we are going to be conservative and upgrade to the latest subversion available.
Both switches are 7. If one had been 7. We're only going to update the layer 2 " S " firmware. We don't use the layer 3 features for HA so we won't update them.
If you want to updated them, that is fine. The upgrade process below is easily ported to the layer 3 firmware update process. Navigate to the downloaded file. It will be a. Expand it. This will create several directories. You will see two file:. As discussed above, we will be upgrading the layer 2 " S " image.
So this is the file we will copy to the TFTP root directory. VLANs provide a way of dividing up a switch or stack of switches into multiple, isolated switches this is actually somewhat simplistic, but it gets the idea across.
We're creating three separate VLANs ;. By default, all ports default to VID 1. If you want to improve security, you can leave all unused ports on VID 1. In this tutorial, we need to allocate all ports for use by other equipment. I like to do this by creating a table showing all the ports, label their external port numbers and logical numbers and then write in what will be plugged into each port.
With this, it's fairly easy to mark what ports will be assigned to what VLANs. In this example, we're showing how to cable up a pair of Brocade Ruckus ICX switches in a very typical configuration.
It can drive two Anvil! In this example, we're showing how to cable up a pair of ICX switches in a very typical configuration. In this example, we're showing how to cable up a pair of ICX switches in a rather unusual configuration. It is driving just one Anvil!
The switches are going to be populated with non-Anvil! What you will configure will, of course, totally vary. The specific ports aren't the point, the planning and implementation are. The port number is the simple integer representing the port. This is the number found above or below the physical port on the switch. We can do this in one command. Finally, the biggest VLAN. This is used when the connected switch does not support LACP. To get a license, you must purchase the license from a Brocade reseller.
To convert this into a loadable license file, you will need to get the switch's ' LID ', then create an account on " My Brocade ". In the example below, I will load two licenses, one for either switch in the stack.
This may seem silly, but consider that the upgrades are sold in lots of 4-ports at a time. This step would allow you to specify which four ports were upgraded. In our case, we upgraded them all. Call Brocade support and use the case number the switch was replaced under.
With the switch being returned, there is no need to prove the old license is removed as you will be returning the switch. If you will NOT be returning the switch, then you will need to provide a show license before and after deleting the old license in order for the license to be reissued. Optional : If you set the community string to a value other than "public", you must configure the ONTAP Health Monitors using the community string you specify:. You must perform the steps on each switch at both MetroCluster sites.
In this procedure, you set the domain ID for each switch as shown in the following examples:. Using this procedure, you should create two logical switches on each Brocade DCX switch. The two logical switches created on both Brocade DCX switches will form two logical fabrics as shown in the following examples:. Requirements for using a Brocade DCX switch. These ISL ports are also known as E-ports.
You must not use the L0 setting when issuing the portCfgLongDistance command. The examples shown in this section are for a Brocade switch.
You should modify the examples to use ports that apply to your switch type. If you are configuring the ISLs for trunking IOD , set the portcfgtrunk port-numberport-number to 1 as shown in the following example:. If you do not want to configure the ISL for trunking OOD , set portcfgtrunkport-number to 0 as shown in the following example:. The following example shows the output for a configuration that uses two ISLs cabled to port 20 and port Because of the behavior of FC-VI, the distance must be set to 1.
If the distance is 3 km, then 1. If the distance is 20 km, then 1. A value of 0 uses IDLE. The required value might depend on the link being used.
The commands must be repeated for each ISL port. For an ISL distance of 3 km, as given in the example in the previous step, the setting is 4. Because a setting of 4. The following example shows the output for a configuration that uses ISLs on port 20 and port Repeat Step 1 through Step 10 for the second FC switch fabric. The examples in this procedure assume that the two Brocade switches have the following IP addresses:. You must configure the non-E-ports on the FC switch.
These steps must be done for each port. You should use the highest common speed, which is the highest speed supported by all components in the data path: the SFP, the switch port that the SFP is installed on, and the connected device HBA, bridge, and so on. The highest common speed in this case is 16 GB, so the port should be configured for a speed of 16 GB. If you are using Brocade G switches and enabling compression on the ISLs, you must configure it on each E-port on the switches.
You can use the portEncCompShow command to see which ports are active. In this example you can see that encryption and compression are configured and active on port 0. You must assign the switch ports to separate zones to separate controller and storage traffic.
These zones are Quality of Service QoS zones. These QoS zones are the same regardless of the model of FibreBridge bridge that is being used.
These zones are configured for high priority. If you are using FibreBridge N bridges, or FibreBridge N or N bridges using only one of the two FC ports, you need to create storage zones for the bridge ports. You should understand the zones and associated ports before you configure the zones. The examples show zoning for DR group 1 only. If your configuration includes a second DR group, configure the zoning for the second DR group in the same manner, using the corresponding ports of the controllers and bridges.
The examples show two pairs of bridges connecting two stack groups at each site. Because each bridge uses one FC port, there are a total of four storage zones per fabric eight in total. When active the management station gets information or sets information when it queries an agent. SNMP commands are sent from the management station and the agent replies once the value is obtained or modified. The agent can receive queries from one or more management stations and can send traps to up to six management stations.
