Installation Procedure. Providing power to the switch Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade VDX 6710. 1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against failure. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of 15.2 cm (6 in.) available and are routed to avoid stress. - Page 23 DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Verifying operation Table 2 on page 25 and Table 3 on page 27 for more details on the LED patterns.

Page 27: Setting The Switch Ip Address
Setting the switch IP address You can configure the Brocade VDX 6710 with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. -

IP address has been set. Enabling VCS mode is disruptive since a reboot is required once the mode has been enabled. Enabling or disabling VCS mode also causes the default configuration file for that mode to be applied. Brocade VDX 6710 Hardware Reference Manual 53-1002xxx-01... -
Page 29: Enabling Vcs Mode
Another parameters that can be changed if necessary is the VCS ID. This identifies the VCS fabric of which the switch can be a part. By default, the VCS of every VDX 6710 is 1. Change the VCS ID if you need to create a new, separate VCS fabric. -

(RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a Brocade VDX 6710 with an incorrect date and time value functions properly. Because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly. -
