  • Page 20: Sfps

    Service tag and PPID label SFPs The SilkWorm 4016 was designed to work with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules and ships with up to six SWL SFPs. SFPs provide optical connections to external devices for both SWL and LWL connections. SFPs are replaced using a new pluggable unit rather than having to replace the switch.

  • Page 21: Isl Trunking Groups

    Brocade ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. If your SilkWorm 4016 switch has a Brocade ISL Trunking license, the external ports can be used as a trunking group. Ports that can be used within the same trunking group are color-coded on the switch’s port side for easy identification.

    The blade server chassis is powered up. • The I/O bay into which the SilkWorm 4016 will be inserted is empty and ready to receive the switch. The SilkWorm 4016 should only be inserted into the specific chassis I/O bay indicated.
  • Page 25 This positions the insertion arm, allowing the SilkWorm 4016 to seat properly in the blade server chassis. With the port side facing you and the insertion arm extended, slide the SilkWorm 4016 into the open chassis I/O bay. The following illustration shows the SilkWorm 4016 being inserted with a horizontal orientation.
  • Page 26 After it is activated, the switch runs self-diagnostic tests such as POST. For more information, see “Interpreting POST Results” on page 4-3. After the diagnostics are complete, cable the SilkWorm 4016 as directed by the blade server chassis manufacturer’s documentation. The blade server creates a connection to the switch for configuration.

    Linux Accessing the SilkWorm 4016 The SilkWorm 4016 is managed as a single element. It has a single IP address and appears as a separate entity to the telnet protocol and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a Management Information Base (MIB).

  • Page 37: Interpreting Post Results

    To determine POST completion status: • Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate a healthy SilkWorm 4016. LED patterns are described “Interpreting LED Activity,” If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs are not set to beacon. Use the switchShow command or Web Tools to verify the LED state.
