Installing a Switch
To configure the switch using the command line interface, do the following:
1. Open a Telnet session with the default switch IP address and log in to the
switch with default account name and password (admin/password).
telnet 10.0.0.1
Switch Login: admin
Password: *******
2. Open an admin session and enter the Set Setup System command. Enter
the values you want for switch IP address (Eth0NetworkAddress) and the
network mask (Eth0NetworkMask). Refer to the McDATA 4314 Command
Line Interface Guide for more information about this command.
DFCSM #> admin start
DFCSM (admin) #> set setup system
3. Open a Config Edit session and use the Set Config command to modify
the switch configuration. Refer to the McDATA 4314 Command Line
Interface Guide for more information about these commands.
Cable Devices to the Switch
Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and
then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF)
transceivers or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC). LC-type duplex fiber
optic cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers, while SC-type
connectors are designed for GBICs. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to
ensure proper orientation. Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector
combination that matches the device host bus adapter.
GL_Ports self configure as FL_Ports when connected to loop of public devices
or F_Ports when connected to a single device. G_Ports self configure as
F_Ports when connected to single public devices. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports
self configure as E_Ports when connected to another switch.
