Page 13: General Description
This section describes the features and capabilities of the McDATA 4314 Fibre Channel Switch Module in a server blade chassis. The following topics are described: • Switch Module Controls and LEDs • Fibre Channel Ports • Ethernet Port • Switch Module Management Fabrics are managed with the EFCM BASIC™... -
Page 14: Switch Module Controls And Leds
These LEDS include the Identifier LED, System Fault LED, and Input Power LED. The Maintenance button shown in only switch module control and is used to reset a switch module or to recover a disabled switch module. Maintenance Button The Maintenance button is a dual-function momentary switch on the front panel. -
Page 15: Switch Module Leds
Input Power LED (Green) The Input Power LED indicates the voltage status at the switch module logic circuitry. During normal operation, this LED illuminates to indicate that the switch module logic circuitry is receiving the proper DC voltages. When the switch module is in maintenance mode, this LED is extinguished. -
Page 16: External Port Leds
Switch Module Ports External Port LEDs Each external port has its own Logged-In LED (L) and Activity LED (A) as shown in McDATA 4314 Fibre Channel Switch Module Installation Guide Figure 1-4. Fibre Channel Ports Figure 1-5. Internal Port/Server Blade Mapping Figure 1-6. -
Page 17: Port Logged-In Led (Green)
Transceivers Switch modules support SFP optical transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports. A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers which then connect to the devices. -
Page 18: Port Types
The Activity LED illuminates when data is being transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection. McDATA 4314 Fibre Channel Switch Module Installation Guide A GL_Port self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a public loop device, as an F_Port when connected to a single public device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch. -
Page 19: Switch Module Management
One instance of the web server can be run at a time by opening the switch IP address with an internet browser. The switch comes from the factory with the McDATA Embedded Wed Server enabled, but you can disable it using the EFCM BASIC application or the command line interface. -
Page 20: Command Line Interface
These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files. Refer to the McDATA 4314 Command Line Interface Guide for an example of using FTP to transfer configuration backup files. McDATA 4314 Fibre Channel Switch Module Installation Guide... -
Page 21: Planning
This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the number of switches. The switch module uses SFP optical transceivers, but the device host bus adapters you are using may not. Consider whether the device adapters use SFP or Gigabit Interface Converters (GBIC) transceivers, and choose fiber optic cables accordingly. -
Page 22: Device Access
Devices can communicate only with devices within the same zone. The switch module supports both hard and soft zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be defined for a fabric, but only one zone set can be active at one time. -
Page 23: Access Control List Hard Zones
ACL zone boundaries supersede soft zone boundaries. • Membership can be defined only by domain ID and port number. A switch module port can be a member of multiple ACL zones whose combined membership does not exceed 64. Device Access... -
Page 24: Performance
• • You can configure recipient and donor ports using the EFCM BASIC application or the Set Config command. Refer to the McDATA 4314 Command Line Interface Guide for information about the Set Config command. Bandwidth Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given transmission rate. -
Page 25: Latency
MB of bandwidth between those chassis depending on the speed of the link. When additional bandwidth is needed between devices, increase the number of links between the connecting switches. The switch module guarantees in-order-delivery with any number of links between chassis. -
Page 26: Multiple Chassis Fabrics
Multiple Chassis Fabrics By connecting switches together you can expand the number of available ports for devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the fabric can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect switches together in a wide variety of topologies. -
Page 27: Domain Id, Principal Priority, And Domain Id Lock
254. Refer to the EFCM Basic Management Guide for information about changing the domain ID and domain ID lock using EFCM BASIC. Refer to the Set Config command in the McDATA 4314 Command Line Interface Guide for information about changing the default domain ID, domain ID lock, and principal priority parameters. -
Page 28: Switch Module Services
Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides for secure SSL connections for EFCM BASIC, the McDATA Embedded Web Server, and the CIM. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a RADIUS server when using EFCM BASIC. To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and workstation. -
Page 29: Fabric Security
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Provides for transferring files rapidly between the workstation and the switch using FTP. The default is enabled. • Management Server (MS): Enables or disables the management of the switch through third-party applications that use GS-3 Management Server. -
