3.2.5

Rediscovering a Fabric

After making changes to or deleting switches from a fabric view, it may be helpful to again view the actual fabric configuration. The rediscover fabric option clears out the current fabric information being displayed, and rediscovers all switch information. To rediscover a fabric, open the Fabric menu, and select Rediscover Fabric.

3.2.6

Adding a New Switch to a Fabric

If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, simply plug in the switch and the switch becomes functional with the default fabric configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are:

Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric.

All ports will be GL_Ports.

The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without a gateway or boot protocol configured (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP).

If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default fabric configuration, do the following:

1.If the switch is not new, reset the switch to the factory configuration before adding the switch to the fabric by selecting Restore Factory Defaults in the Switch menu.

2.If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, you must first configure the IP address using the Network Properties dialog.

3.Configure any special switch settings. Consider configuring the Default Visibility setting to None in the Zoning Config dialog to prevent communication with other switches in the fabric until the new switch is configured.

4.Plug in the inter-switch links (ISL), but do not connect the devices.

5.Configure the port types for the new switch (GL_Port, TL_Port, Donor) using the Port Properties dialog.

6.Connect the devices to the switch.

7.Make any necessary zoning changes using the Edit Zoning window.
