Adding a new switch module to a fabric
After you install a switch module into your SBCE unit, the switch uses the default fabric
configuration settings. The default fabric configuration settings are as follows:
• Fabric zoning is sent to the switch module from the fabric.
• All external ports (0,15) are GL_Ports; all internal ports (1 through 14) are F_Ports.
• The default IP addresses are:
For I/O module bay 3:
192.168.70.129
For I/O module bay 4:
192.168.70.130
Complete the following steps to add a new switch module to a fabric and not make changes to the
default fabric configuration settings:
1. If the switch module is not new, to reset the switch to the factory configuration, in the Faceplate
window, click Switch → Restore Factory Defaults.
2. If you want to manage the switch module through the Ethernet port, configure the network
SNMP configuration using the Network Properties window. For more information, see
"Network properties" on page 104.
3. Configure any special switch settings.
NOTE
To prevent communication with other switch modules in the fabric until the new switch is
configured, in the Zoning Config window, click None in the Default Visibility field. For
more information, see "Zoning configuration" on page 85.
4. Connect the interswitch links (ISL), but do not connect the devices.
5. In the Port Properties window, configure the port types for the new switch (GL_Port, TL_Port,
Donor).
