Installing and Configuring the FC 6164
7. Check each switch for port or ISL issues.
a. Log on with administrative privileges by Telnet to one of the switches
in the group.
b. Enter the following at the Telnet prompt:
islTopoCheck
This command provides detailed information about the local switch
(the switch currently accessed by Telnet). If there are any problems,
the Status column indicates an error condition.
c. Repeat Steps a through b for the remaining switches in the group.
8. Add GBICs and cables as needed to the user ports.
a. Remove the shipping plug from the user ports to be used.
b. Position the GBIC so that the key (the ridge on one side) on the GBIC
is aligned with the slot in the user port.
c. Insert each GBIC into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching
mechanism locks. The GBIC module is keyed so that it can be inserted
in only one way. If the module does not slide in easily, try reversing it.
d. Connect fiber optic cables to the user GBICs as appropriate to the
fabric topology.
9. Back up the configuration for each of the six switches in the FC 6164,
after any zoning configurations and other changes are completed. This
ensures a complete configuration is available for uploading to a
replacement switch, if required.
a. From the workstation, establish a Telnet connection to the switch you
want to back up, and log on with administrative privileges.
b. Enter the following command to download the configuration to the
server.
configupload
A routine backup of the configuration for each switch in the FC
Note
6164 is recommended at regular intervals, to ensure a fairly current
configuration is available for uploading to a replacement switch, if
required.
