Configuring protect mode
3
To configure VLAN membership, perform the following steps in global configuration mode.
1. Create the VLAN interfaces on the Dell FCoE hardware using the CEE CLI. For details, see
“Creating a VLAN interface” on page 35.
The following example creates two VLAN interfaces and assigning each one to a server group.
switch(config)#interface vlan 10
switch-cmsh(conf-if-vl-10)#description server group 1
switch(config)#interface vlan 20
switch-cmsh(conf-if-vl-20)#description server group 2
switch(config)#interface vlan 100
switch-cmsh(conf-if-vl-100)#description FCoE VLAN
2. Create VLAN rules and a VLAN classifier group for these two EtherTypes. For details, see
“Creating a VLAN classifier group and adding rules” on page 39.
The following example creates VLAN rules and classifier groups.
switch(config)#vlan classifier rule 1 proto fip encap ethv2
switch(config)#vlan classifier rule 2 proto fcoe encap ethv2
switch(config)#vlan classifier group 1 add rule 1
switch(config)#vlan classifier group 1 add rule 2
3. Apply the VLAN classifier group to any CEE interface. This step is optional. For details, see
“Activating a VLAN classifier group with an interface port” on page 40.
4. Enter the copy command to save the running-config file to the startup-config file.
switch(config)#end
switch#copy running-config startup-config
Configuring protect mode
IBM’s Advanced Management Module (AMM) can set or control certain attributes of the switch
through a backend I2C bus. The switch receives these AMM settings by reading the I2C control
registers and VPD. Additionally, AMM informs the switch if there are any changes in these settings
while the system is running by setting the appropriate bits inthe I2C control registers and
generating interrupts.
Enabling protect mode is a two-step process. First, enable protect mode on AMM. Refer to the IBM
publication titled IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module Protect Mode. The second task
is to enable Protect Mode on the switch by performing the following steps in global configuration
mode.
1. Select an external interface to configure as an IP interface.
switch(config)#interface extengigabitethernet 0/16
2. Configure the interface as an IP interface
switch(conf-if-te-0/16)#ip address 10.0.0.1 5
3. Return to Privileged EXEC mode.
switch(conf-if-te-0/16)#exit
switch(config)#exit
4. Enable protect mode.
switch#protect-mode enable
