Next Steps
Specific tasks remain to be completed before the switch is fully operational
and manageable in your network with your equipment. These tasks and the
associated tools are described in the remaining documents shipped with the
product on the documentation CD-ROM. This section provides specific
guidance for completing tasks that many users may need to do.
Setting QuickLoop Mode on Ports
The default configuration for a port is fabric mode. QuickLoop is used to
connect private hosts to private storage using the Fibre Channel network. A
QuickLoop zone, connecting two switches, may be used to expand the
number of private hosts and storage connected. An entire switch can be set
to operate in QuickLoop mode using the
qlEnable telnet command. A
port on a switch operating in Mixed mode can be set to or removed from
QuickLoop using the telnet commands
qlPortEnable and
qlPortDisable . See the QuickLoop User’s Guide for more details.
Setting Up Speed Negotiation
The FC 16B ports can operate at three different speed levels: auto-sensing
mode, 1 Gbps mode, or 2 Gbps mode. Use the telnet command
switchCfgSpeed to set the speed level for all ports in a switch. Use the
portCfgSpeed to set the speed level for a single port. Depending on your
environment you may need to force a port to use a specific speed level.
Auto negotiation may not be supported by the device. Check the
configuration information for your network components for specific
requirements. See the Fabric OS Reference Manual for a detailed
command description.
