Creating an Ethernet Connection
To create an Ethernet connection to the SilkWorm 3014:
1.Remove the plug from the Ethernet port.
2.Connect an Ethernet cable to the switch Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation.
Note
At this point the switch can be accessed remotely. Ensure that the switch is not being modified from any other connection until configuration is complete.
Completing the Switch Configuration
To complete the switch configuration:
1.Log on to the switch by telnet, using the admin account.
2.Modify the domain ID if required.
The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric.
a.Disable the switch by typing the switchDisable command.
b.Enter the configure command.
The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.
c.Enter y after the Fabric parameters prompt, as shown:
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d.Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if still available):
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e.Complete the remaining prompts or press
f.Reenable the switch by entering the switchEnable command.
3.Install the SFP transceivers in the External Fibre Channel ports, as required.
a.Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
b.Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.
c.Repeat steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required.
