Configuring Extended Fabrics

USING EXTENDED FABRICS

You can configure ports to support long-distance links through Telnet or
through Web Tools. For information about using Web Tools to configure
ports, see the Web Tools User's Guide.
To use Extended Fabrics, you must configure each switch in the fabric to
support a long-distance extended fabric. This task consists of specifying the
long-distance level for each port in the switch, and then specifying the same
level for each port's neighboring port (the second port in a two-port pair). If
incorrectly set, the fabric segments until the configurations in each segment
match.
To set the long-distance fabric mode bit:
1. Log into the switch by Telnet.
2. Enter the

3. Enter the
