6.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:
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.
7.Install the SFP transceivers 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.
8.Connect the cables to the transceivers.
The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
Caution
A
a.Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, refer to the cable manufacturer's documentation.
b.Repeat this procedure for the remaining transceivers.
9.Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, refer to the SilkWorm 3014 Hardware Reference Manual.
10.Verify the correct operation of the SilkWorm 3014 by typing the switchShow command from the workstation, followed by the fabricShow command.
