Step 4: Define The Local Interface; Step 5: Verify The Fc Switches - LightSand S-2500B Installation And User Manual

Step 4: Define the local interface

When the wide area link will carry FC traffic
If the wide area connection will be carrying FC traffic, define the local FC interface with the
following command:
gateway:> config port efc 1 type fc
When the wide area link will carry IP traffic
If the wide area connection will be carrying IP traffic, define the local Gigabit Ethernet
interface with the following command:
gateway:> config port efc 2 type ethernet
You will be prompted for the IP address and network mask of the local Gigabit Ethernet port. If
you want to rout IP traffic on the link, you must enable RIP on this port:
gateway:> config port ether 1 ip routing-protocol rip

Step 5: Verify the FC switches

Brocade:
Run licenseShow and verify the presence of the Remote Switch License. Warning: if Remote
Switch License is enabled through the GUI, it will reset the values below.
Run configShow and check the following values
Data Field Size (fabric.ops.dataFieldSize): 2112
Class F Suppression (fabric.ops.mode.noClassF): 0
Buffer Credits (fabric.ops.BBCredit): 7
If no 12000 or 3900 is present, BBCredit should be 7 throughout the fabric. If a 12000 or 3900
is in the fabric, BBCredit should be 4 throughout the fabric. Change the LightSand Gateway's
BBCredits for the appropriate FC port as follows:
gateway:> config port fc 2 bb-credit 4
