B Intelligent blades This appendix provides information for the following blades: • “B-Series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) overview” on page 223 B-Series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) overview NOTE: The B-Series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) is used in the DC SAN Director and the DC04 SAN Director. The optional B-Series MP Router blade (FR4-18i) integrates sixteen physical Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Routing Services, and two physical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Over IP (FCIP) feature.
Optional items Purchase the following items separately: • Sixteen SFP transceivers • Two SFP transceivers for the GbE ports Installing and configuring the FR4-18i blade To configure the FR4-18i, complete the following tasks: “Installing the FR4-18i blade into the Director” on page 224 “Configuring FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services and enable the ports”...
Configuring FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services and enable the ports The ports on the FR4-18i blade are initially set to persistently disabled. If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_port use the portcfgpersistentenable command to enable the ports. If you are using the FC ports as EX_Ports you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services feature prior to enabling the ports.
Verify the correct operation of the FR4-18i blade ports by typing the switchShow command from the Director command prompt. This command provides information about switch and port status. Once the FR4-18i blade is installed and fully configured in a Director, the switchShow command displays 32 Fibre Channel ports (port numbers 0 through 31) and two GbE ports.
