Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Ports

Connecting to a Gigabit Ethernet Port

To connect a cable to a Gigabit Ethernet port, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the dust cover from the SFP module in the Gigabit Ethernet port; store the dust cover for future use.

Step 2 Remove the dust cover (or covers) from the plug on the cable; store the cover (or covers) for future use. Insert the cable plug into the Gigabit Ethernet SFP module.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the external end system, switch, or router.

Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port

Caution If an SN 5428-2 Fibre Channel port is going to be connected to a zoned fabric, do not connect the port until you have completed the SN 5428-2 hardware installation and have confirmed that the SN 5428-2 Domain ID has been configured. After the SN 5428-2 has been installed and after the SN 5428-2 Domain ID has been configured, you can then connect Fibre Channel ports to zoned fabric according to the procedures in this section. Then, verify the operation of the ports according to the procedures in the “Verify That Fibre Channel Connections Are Operational” section on page 2-31. For information about configuring the Domain ID, see the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Software Configuration Guide.

To connect a cable to a Fibre Channel port, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the dust cover from the SFP module in the Fibre Channel SFP port; store the dust cover for future use.

Step 2 Remove the dust covers from the cable plug on the fiber-optic cable; store the dust covers for future use. Insert the cable plug into the Fibre Channel SFP module.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to a Fibre Channel port of another system (for example, a storage system, switch, host, or another SN 5428-2 Storage Router.)
