Changing Port Topology

After completing login to the console of the FC Switch Module, change the topology of external ports on the FC Switch Module according to the procedure below. (The port topology must always be set.)

Setting at shipment from factory

The port topology (Locked G_Port) is set as follows when an FC Switch Module is shipped from the factory.

External ports:

ON (Valid: only fabric devices connectable)

Internal ports:

·· (Invalid: Select Auto as the topology.)

„The port topology of an FC Switch Module must be set to be the same as

the port topology of fibre channel devices connected to the FC Switch Module. If the port topologies are different, the connected fibre channel devices cannot link up to the FC Switch Module. For the port topology of each fibre channel device to be connected to an FC Switch Module, refer to the User’s Guide of the fibre channel device.

1.Type "portcfgshow" on the console screen.

„ Any commands used on the switch console should be specified with lowercase letters.

2.The current port settings appear.
