Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes............................ 48 Once you have set up the Brocade 6510 in a rack or as a standalone switch, it is time to give it power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the Brocade 6510 in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration.
Switch IP address You can configure the Brocade 6510 with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The Brocade 6510 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
The Brocade 6510 maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a Brocade 6510 with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.
NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server every 64 seconds. Setting the date Log into the switch using the default password, which is password . Brocade 6510 Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002174-16...
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit. At the prompt, select a country location. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or Ctrl-D to quit. Brocade 6510 Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002174-16...
Brocade ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. Up to eight FC ports on the Brocade 6510 can be used as a trunking group to achieve speeds up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
• Fabric OS features available to the Brocade 6510 depend on whether the switch is configured in Access Gateway or Fabric OS Native mode. For a list of available features for each mode, refer to the Brocade Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide.
