Chassis Configuration Process

c.The Fabric Topology window will display all the Switch chassis in the fabric and show the T_Port interconnections. Initially, all chassis will be IO/T chassis. Double click a chassis that you want to conﬁgure. The application will jump to the Switch Faceplate display for the selected Switch chassis.

d.Just below the faceplate is the Chassis Parameters/Switch Statistics area. Change the Stage Type to FLS-Cross-Connect (if it is a CC chassis), assign the chassis a Chassis Number (unique within each Stage Type), and press Apply. Chassis Numbers are in the range of 0 to 63 and must be unique within each Stage Type. The Default is zero.

NOTE:

•If two switches of the same stage type have the same chassis number, the switch with the higher world wide name will be disabled. In addition, the affected Logged-In LEDs on both chassis will blink to indicate that a conﬂict exists.

•When adding a switch to an active fabric, be sure that the new switch has a unique chassis number. A chassis number conﬂict could disable a single IO/T chassis or, in the case of a CC chassis, an entire fabric.

e.Press the Back button to return to the Fabric Topology window. The application will poll the fabric for its new conﬁguration (it takes about 15 seconds to poll the fabric). The Topology window will use the switch color to show that the chassis you changed is now a CC.

f.Repeat steps c, d, and e for each chassis in the fabric.

NOTE:

The fabric is now a multi-chassis fabric and you may proceed to conﬁguring the user ports if necessary. Conﬁgure user ports and zones with the Switch management application.
