Vixel 335 Changing the Switch’s Operating Speed, Viewing and Understanding Zoning Information

Vixel Model 335 Installation & Configuration Guide CHAPTER 3 Management

Changing the Switch’s Operating Speed

The link speed command enables you to change the switch’s operating speed.

To activate the link speed control, type lsp at the prompt.

SWITCH LINK SPEED			(switch		ID=14000147)
	Link speed current :				2	GBPS
	Link	speed control		:	2	GBPS
(1)	Link	speed	next	:	2	GBPS

Enter either a "2" for 1 Gbps or a "3" for 2 Gbps. You must reset the switch before the speed change becomes effective.

Viewing and Understanding Zoning Information

The switch’s command line interface displays the two zone configurations: overlapping zoning and non-overlapping zoning.

For a description of overlapping and non-overlapping zoning, see “Zone Settings” on page 31.

Overlapping Zoning Configuration

Overlapping zoning can only be implemented in Zone 1 and the switch must be operating in switching mode. To participate in overlapping zoning, each port must have their cascade mode configured to "auto".

If the switch is operating using non-overlapping zoning, you can still configure overlapping zoning within the default zone. If a LIP occurs on any port in the default zone, it will affect every port in the default zone, regardless of any overlapping zone configurations. Overlapping zones do not support LIP isolation.

The overlapping zoning configuration displays the ports in Zone 1 and also displays which ports are blocked from seeing each other.

To view the overlapping zone configuration, type oz.

The current overlapping zoning configuration, by port, is displayed.

Overlapping Zone Configuration							(Switch ID=28000070, Switching Mode=on)
	1	2	3	4	5	11	12
Port 1		.	X . . . .
Port 2	.		. X . . .
Port 3	X	.		.	X . .
Port 4	.	X .			. . .
Port 5	.	.	X .			. .
Port 11							.
Port 12

To block ports from seeing each other:

1.Type oz to view the current overlapping zone configuration.

2.At the prompt, type oz a:p1-p2a:p1-p2r:p1-p2 ..(where a=add port block pair, r=remove port block pair, p1=1st port, and p2=2nd port

The "-" is optional.

Example: oz a:2-4

A device on port 2 is blocked from viewing devices on port 4. The opposite holds trues as well (devices on port 4 cannot see devices on port 2).

To remove all port blocks, type oz r at the prompt.
