Q

4.2.13

Configure the Ports

Configuring a port involves defining the port mode. For public devices and other switches, a switch automatically sets the port mode as each port discovers the type of device to which it is connected. The default port mode is GL_Port.

AGL_Port will self configure as an FL_Port when connected to a loop of public devices or an F_Port when connected to a single device. A G_Port will self configure as an F_Port when connected to a single public device. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports self configure as E_Ports when connected to another switch. Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information about configuring ports. You can also configure ports using the CLI. Refer to Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.

4.2.14

Cable Devices to the Switch

Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF) transceivers or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC). LC-type duplex fiber optic cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers, while SC-type connectors are designed for GBICs. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper orientation. Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that matches the device host bus adapter.
