Installation Tasks
Install PFE Keys
(Optional)
Perform this procedure to install one or more of the following
optional features:
• OSMS - These feature allows open systems host control of the
switch.
• Flexport Technology - A Flexport Technology switch is delivered
at a discount with only eight ports enabled. When additional port
capacity is required, the remaining ports are enabled (in eight-
port increments) through purchase of this feature.
• SANtegrity™ binding - This feature enhances security in SANs
with a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices.
• Preferred path - This feature allows a user to configure an ISL
data path between switches by configuring the source and exit
ports of the origination switch, and the domain ID of the
destination switch.
• OpenTrunking - This feature provides dynamic load balancing of
Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs.
• Full volatility - This feature ensures that no Fibre Channel frames
are stored after the switch is powered off, and a memory dump
file (that possibly includes classified frames) is not included as
part of the data collection procedure.
• CNT WAN support - This feature is included only in software
maintenance release 4.02.00, and is required to allow the switch
to communicate with Computer Network Technologies (CNT)
UltraEdge wide area network (WAN) Gateways.
After purchasing a feature, obtain the required PFE key by following
the enclosed instructions. A PFE key is an alphanumeric string
consisting of both uppercase and lowercase characters. The total
number of characters may vary. The key is case sensitive and must be
entered exactly, including dashes. The following is an example of a
PFE key format:
XxXx-XXxX-xxXX-xX.
After obtaining the PFE key, install the feature as follows:
1. Set the switch offline as follows:
a. At the Configure panel, select the Operations option at the left
side of the panel. The Operations panel opens and the Switch
page displays with the Beacon tab selected
