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.
