Cabling guidelines
After modifying the Embedded Switch Module's IP address and domain name (if Embedded Switch
Module is in Fabric OS Native mode), we recommend that you cable all external ports to fabric
connections before bringing the Embedded Switch Module online. Refer to
the Embedded Switch Module,"
Begin by cabling ports 19 through 25 and 0. Ports 19 and 20 are licensed at the factory as part of
Dynamic Ports On Demand (DPOD). By cabling these ports first, you will not need to move licenses
to other ports you may have cabled.
