Configuring a single switch

Single-switch configuration does not require IDID or fabric binding, provided that connected channels are
configured for single-byte addressing. However, you should configure IDID to ensure that Domain IDs are
maintained.

Configuring a high-integrity fabric

To configure a high-integrity fabric (cascaded configuration):
1. Disable each switch in the fabric.
2. For each switch:
a. Enable the IDID flag.
b. Set the Domain ID.
3. Enable the switches; this builds the fabric.
4. Set the SCC policy, as described in
Configure the Switch Connection Control policies on all switches to limit connectivity to only the
5.
switches in the selected fabric using the secPolicyCreate command:
switch:admin> secPolicyCreate SCC_POLICY, member;...;member
where:
member indicates a switch that is permitted to join the fabric. Specify switches by WWN, Domain ID,
or switch name. Enter an asterisk (*) to indicate all the switches in the fabric. To create a policy that
includes all the switches in the fabric, issue the following command:
switch:admin> secPolicyCreate SCC_POLICY "*"
6. Save or activate the new policy by issuing either the secPolicySave or the secPolicyActivate
command. If neither of these commands is issued, the changes are lost when the session is logged out.
To activate the SCC policy:
switch:admin> secPolicyActivate
7. Enable ACL Fabric Wide Consistency Policy and enforce a strict SCC policy:
switch:admin> fddcfg --fabwideset "SCC:S"
8. Connect and enable channel and control unit (CU) devices. The Query for Security Attributes (QSA)
response to the channel indicates that the fabric binding and IDID are enabled.
