1.13.1  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share  
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to  
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the  
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the  
Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors  
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by  
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your  
programs, too.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our  
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to  
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you  
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software  
or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these  
things.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you  
these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to  
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you  
modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a  
fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure  
that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these  
terms so they know their rights.  
59042-06 A

1 – Introduction  
General Public License  
0
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you  
this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the  
software.  
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that  
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the  
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to  
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by  
others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to  
avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent  
licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made  
it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at  
all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.  
1.13.2  
Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification  
1.  
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice  
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms  
of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such  
program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the  
Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work  
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with  
modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,  
translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each  
licensee is addressed as "you".  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered  
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is  
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents  
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made  
by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program  
does.  
2.  
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code  
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and  
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and  
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License  
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the  
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you  
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.  
3.  
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus  
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such  
1-10  
59042-06 A  
 
 
1 – Introduction  
General Public License  
0
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you  
also meet all of these conditions:  
a.  
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating  
that you changed the files and the date of any change.  
b.  
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or  
in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to  
be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms  
of this License.  
c.  
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when  
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in  
the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including  
an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty  
(or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may  
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user  
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is  
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your  
work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable  
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be  
reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then  
this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you  
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same  
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the  
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose  
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each  
and every part regardless of who wrote it.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to  
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to  
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the  
Program.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program  
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a  
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the  
scope of this License.  
4.  
You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under  
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1  
and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:  
a.  
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable  
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1  
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;  
or,  
59042-06 A  
1-11  
 
1 – Introduction  
General Public License  
0
b.  
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give  
any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically  
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of  
the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of  
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software  
interchange; or,  
c.  
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to  
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only  
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in  
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with  
Subsection b above.)  
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making  
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all  
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface  
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of  
the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code  
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either  
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so  
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that  
component itself accompanies the executable.  
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to  
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the  
source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code,  
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with  
the object code.  
5.  
6.  
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as  
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,  
modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically  
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have  
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their  
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.  
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.  
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the  
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you  
do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the  
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance  
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,  
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.  
7.  
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),  
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to  
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.  
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the  
1-12  
59042-06 A  
 
1 – Introduction  
General Public License  
0
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by  
third parties to this License.  
8.  
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement  
or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed  
on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the  
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your  
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a  
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a  
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by  
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only  
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely  
from distribution of the Program.  
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any  
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and  
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or  
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this  
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software  
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many  
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software  
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that  
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to  
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose  
that choice.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a  
consequence of the rest of this License.  
9.  
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries  
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder  
who places the Program under this License may add an explicit  
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that  
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In  
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of  
this License.  
10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of  
the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be  
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new  
problems or concerns.  
11. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program  
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later  
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of  
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software  
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this  
59042-06 A  
1-13  
 
1 – Introduction  
General Public License  
0
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software  
Foundation.  
12. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs  
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for  
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software  
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make  
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of  
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of  
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.  
NO WARRANTY  
13. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS  
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY  
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING  
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE  
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER  
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE  
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND  
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE  
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL  
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  
14. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED  
TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER  
PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS  
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING  
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE  
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA  
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR  
THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH  
ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY  
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
1.13.3  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use  
to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which  
everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to  
the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty;  
and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the  
full notice is found.

appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands  
you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they  
could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your  
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into  
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may

Maintenance Button  
The Maintenance button is a dual-function momentary switch on the front panel.  
Its purpose is to reset the switch or to place the switch in maintenance mode.  
Maintenance mode sets the IP address to 10.0.0.1 and provides access to the  
switch for maintenance purposes when flash memory or the resident configuration  
file is corrupted. Refer to ”Recovering a Switch” on page 5-12 for more information  
about using maintenance mode.  
2.1.1.1  
Resetting a Switch  
To reset the switch, use a pointed tool to momentarily press and release (less than  
2 seconds) the Maintenance button. The switch will respond as follows:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
All of the chassis LEDs will illuminate and then extinguish leaving only the  
Input Power LED illuminated.  
After approximately 1 minute, the Power-On Self Test (POST) begins  
illuminating all chassis LEDs.  
When the POST is complete, the chassis LEDs extinguish leaving the Input  
Power LED illuminated and the Heartbeat LED flashing once per second.

The Fan Fail LED indicates operational status of the fan. This LED illuminates if  
the speed of the fan falls below the normal range. If the Fan Fail LED illuminates,  
isolate the switch from the fabric, unplug the switch from the AC power source,  
and contact your authorized maintenance provider.  
2.1.2.3  
Heartbeat LED (Amber)  
The Heartbeat LED indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the  
results of the Power On Self Test (POST). Following a normal power-up, the  
Heartbeat LED blinks about once per second to indicate that the switch passed  
the POST and that the internal switch processor is running. In maintenance mode,  
the Heartbeat LED illuminates continuously. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink  
Patterns” on page 5-2 for more information about Heartbeat LED blink patterns.  
2.1.2.4  
Input Power LED (Green)  
The Input Power LED indicates the voltage status at the switch logic circuitry.  
During normal operation, this LED illuminates to indicate that the switch logic  
circuitry is receiving the proper DC voltages.  
2.2  
Fibre Channel Ports  
The SANbox2-8c switch has 8 Fibre Channel ports numbered 0–7 as shown in  
Figure 2-4. Each of these ports is served by a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)  
optical transceiver. The port LEDs are located above their respective ports and  
provide port login and activity status information. The ports self discover the  
proper mode when connected to public devices and other switches.

Port Logged-In LED  
The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization status of the connected  
devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all  
Logged-In LEDs. Following a successful loop initialization or port login, the switch  
illuminates the corresponding logged-in LED. This shows that the port is properly  
connected and able to communicate with its attached devices. The Logged-In  
LED remains illuminated as long as the port is initialized or logged in. If the port  
connection is broken or an error occurs that disables the port, the Logged-In LED  
will flash. Refer to ”Logged-In LED Indications” on page 5-6 for more information  
about the Logged-In LED.  
2.2.1.2  
Port Activity LED  
The Activity LED indicates that data is passing through the port. Each frame that  
the port transmits or receives causes this LED to illuminate for 50 milliseconds.  
This makes it possible to observe the transmission of a single frame. When  
extending credits, the Activity LED for a donor port will reflect the traffic of the  
recipient port. Refer to ”Distance” on page 3-4 for more information about  
extended credits and donor ports.

2.2.2  
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers  
An SFP transceiver, like the one shown in Figure 2-6, converts electrical signals to  
and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive. SFP transceivers plug into  
the ports; duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers which then connect  
to the devices. A port is capable of transmitting at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps; however, the  
transceiver must be capable of 2-Gbps for the port to deliver at that rate.  
The SFP transceivers are hot pluggable. This means that you can remove or  
install an SFP transceiver while the switch is operating without harming the switch  
or the transceiver. However, communication with the connected device will be  
interrupted. Refer to ”Install SFP Transceivers” on page 4-4 for information about  
installing and removing SFP optical transceivers.  
Figure 2-6. SFP Transceiver  
2.2.3  
Port Types  
SANbox2-8c switches support generic ports (G_Port, GL_Port), fabric ports  
(F_Port, FL_Port), and expansion ports (E_Port). Switches come from the factory  
with all ports configured as GL_Ports. Generic, fabric, and expansion ports  
function as follows:  
A GL_Port self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a public loop  
device, as an F_Port when connected to a single public device, or as an  
E_Port when connected to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch.  
A G_Port self-configures as an F_Port when connected to a single public  
device, or as an E_Port when connected to another FC-SW-2 compliant  
switch.  
An FL_Port supports a loop of up to 126 public devices. An FL_Port can also  
configure itself during the fabric login process as an F_Port when connected  
to a single public device (N_Port).  
An F_Port supports a single public device. If the device is a single device on  
a loop, the GL_Port will attempt to configure first as an F_Port, then if that  
fails, as an FL_Port.

E_Ports enable you to expand the fabric by connecting SANbox2-8c switches with  
other FC-SW-2 compliant switches. SANbox2-8c switches self-discover all  
information about multiple chassis fabrics. Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch  
Management User’s Guide for more information about defining port types.  
2.3  
Ethernet Port  
The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-7 is an RJ-45 connector that provides a  
connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet  
cable. A management workstation can be a Windows®, Solaris™, or a Linux®,  
workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. You can  
manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using SANsurfer Switch  
Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI), or SNMP. The switch through which  
the fabric is managed is called the fabric management switch.  
The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and the Activity LED  
(amber). The Link Status LED illuminates continuously when an Ethernet  
connection has been established. The Activity LED illuminates when data is being  
transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.

Power Supply and Fan  
The power supply converts standard 110 or 230 VAC to DC voltages for the  
various switch circuits. An internal fan provides cooling. Air flow can be  
front-to-back or back-to-front depending on the switch model. To energize the  
switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a 110 or 230  
VAC power source.  
Note:  
The power supply and fan are not field replaceable units.

Switch Management  
The switch supports the following management tools:  
SANsurfer Switch Manager  
SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet  
SANsurfer Switch Manager Application Programming Interface (API)  
Command line interface (CLI)  
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)  
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)  
2.6.1  
SANsurfer Switch Manager  
SANsurfer Switch Manager is a workstation-based Java® application that  
provides a graphical user interface for fabric management. This includes  
SANsurfer Performance Viewer which graphs port performance. SANsurfer  
Switch Manager can run on a Windows, Solaris, or Linux workstation. A  
management workstation connects to the fabric through the Ethernet port of one  
or more switches and can provide in-band management for all other switches in  
the fabric. Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for  
information about the SANsurfer Switch Manager application and its use.

2.6.2  
SANsurfer Switch Manager Web Applet  
To make switch management less dependent on a particular workstation, each  
switch contains a SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet. One instance of the web  
applet can be run at a time by opening the switch IP address with an internet  
browser. The switch comes from the factory with the web applet enabled, but you  
can disable it using the EmbeddedGUIEnabled parameter of the Set Setup  
System command. An inactivity timeout can also be set. Refer to ”Set Setup  
Command” on page B-49 for more information.  
The applet possesses the same features as the workstation-based version with  
the following exceptions:  
Extended Credits wizard  
Zoning Wizard  
SANsurfer Performance Viewer  
Condensed online help  
2.6.3  
Command Line Interface  
The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions  
by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is  
available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to  
Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.  
2.6.4  
SANsurfer Switch Manager Application Programming Interface  
The SANsurfer Switch Manager API enables an application provider to build a  
management application for QLogic switches. The library is implemented in ANSI  
standard C, relying only on standard POSIX run-time libraries (except for the  
Windows NT build). Contact your distributor or authorized reseller for information  
about the SANsurfer Switch Manager API.  
2.6.5  
Simple Network Management Protocol  
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox2 firmware  
supports SNMP versions 1 and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information  
Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information  
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.  
Refer to the SANbox/SANbox2 Simple Network Management Protocol Reference

Consider the following when planning a fabric:  
Devices  
Device access  
Performance  
Multiple chassis fabrics  
Fabric security  
Fabric management  
3.1  
Devices  
When planning a fabric, consider the number of devices and the anticipated  
demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and the number  
of switches. Consider how many and what types of switches are needed.  
The switch uses SFP optical transceivers, but the device host bus adapters you  
are using may not. Consider whether the device adapters use SFP transceivers or  
Gigabit Interface Converters (GBIC), and choose fiber optic cables accordingly.  
Use LC-type cable connectors for SFP transceivers and SC-type cable  
connectors for GBIC transceivers.  
SANbox2 switches support public initiator and target devices. Consider the  
distribution of target and initiator devices. An F_Port supports a single public  
device. An FL_Port can support up to 126 public devices in an arbitrated loop.

Device Access  
0
3.2  
Device Access  
Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of  
zones and zone sets. Some zoning strategies include the following:  
Group devices by operating systems.  
Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in  
the fabric or have classified data.  
Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group.  
Reserve a path and its bandwidth from one port to another.  
A zone is a named group of devices that can communicate with each other.  
Membership in a zone can be defined by switch domain ID and port number, port  
Fibre Channel address, or by device worldwide name (WWN). Devices can  
communicate only with devices that are within the same zone. A zone can be a  
member of more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be defined for a fabric,  
but only one zone set can be active at one time. The active zone set determines  
the current fabric zoning.  
A zoning database is maintained on each switch consisting of all inactive zone  
sets, the active zone set, all zones, aliases, and their membership. Table 3-1  
describes the zoning database limits, excluding the active zone set. Refer to the  
SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information about  
zoning.

3.2.1  
Soft Zones  
Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling device discovery. Devices  
in the same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all  
other members of the same zone. The soft zone boundary is not secure; traffic  
across soft zones can occur if addressed correctly. The following rules apply to  
soft zones:  
Soft zones that include members from multiple switches need not include  
the ports of the inter-switch links.  
Soft zone boundaries yield to ACL zone boundaries.  
Soft zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one  
soft zone.  
Membership can be defined by Fibre Channel address, domain ID and port  
number, or worldwide name.  
Soft zoning supports FL_Ports and F_Ports.  
3.2.2  
Access Control List Hard Zones  
Access Control List (ACL) zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling  
discovery and inbound traffic. ACL zoning is a type of hard zoning that is  
hardware enforced. This type of zoning is useful for controlling access to certain  
devices without totally isolating them from the fabric. Members can communicate  
with each other and transmit outside the ACL zone, but cannot receive inbound  
traffic from outside the zone. The following rules apply to ACL zones:  
The ACL zone boundary is secure against inbound traffic.  
ACL zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one  
ACL zone.  
ACL zones that include members from multiple switches need not include  
the ports of the inter-switch links.  
ACL zone boundaries supersede soft zone boundaries.  
Membership can be defined only by domain ID and port ID. A switch port  
can be a member of multiple ACL zones whose combined membership does  
not exceed 128.

3.3  
Performance  
The SANbox2-8c switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at  
transmission rates of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148  
bytes. A port can transmit or receive at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps depending on the  
device to which it is connected. The port discovers the transmission speed prior to  
login when the connected device powers up. Related performance characteristics  
include the following:  
Distance  
Bandwidth  
Latency  
3.3.1  
Distance  
Consider the physical distribution of devices and switches in the fabric. Choose  
SFP transceivers that are compatible with the cable type, distance, Fibre Channel  
revision level, and the device host bus adapter. Refer to  
Appendix A Specifications for more information about cable types and SFP  
transceivers.  
Each port is supported by a data buffer with a 12 credit capacity; that is, 12  
maximum sized frames. For fibre optic cables, this enables full bandwidth over a  
distance of 20 kilometers at 1-Gbps (0.6 credits/Km), or 10 kilometers at 2-Gbps  
(1.2 credits/Km). Beyond this distance, however, there is some loss of efficiency  
because the transmitting port must wait for an acknowledgement before sending  
the next frame.  
Longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth by extending credits on  
G_Ports and F_Ports. Each port can donate 11 credits to a pool from which a  
recipient port can borrow. For example, you can configure a recipient port to  
borrow up to 66 credits from 6 ports for a total of 78 credits. This will support  
communication over approximately 130 Km at 1 Gbps (78÷0.6) or 65 Km at 2  
Gbps (78÷1.2).  
You can configure recipient and donor ports using SANsurfer Switch Manager or  
the Set Config command. Refer to ”Set Config Command” on page B-33 for more  
information.

3.3.2  
Bandwidth  
Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given  
transmission rate. A port can transmit or receive at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps depending  
on the device to which it is connected. The switch supports all transmission rate  
combinations as shown in Table 3-2.

In multiple chassis fabrics, each link between chassis contributes 100 or 200  
megabytes of bandwidth between those chassis. When additional bandwidth is  
needed between devices, increase the number of links between the connecting  
switches. The switch guarantees in-order-delivery with any number of links  
between chassis.  
3.3.3  
Latency  
Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels from one port to another. The  
factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source/destination  
port relationship as shown in Table 3-3.

Multiple Chassis Fabrics  
By connecting switches together you can expand the number of available ports for  
devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the  
fabric will automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel  
ports are self-configuring, you can connect SANbox2-8c and other FC-SW-2  
compliant switches together in a wide variety of topologies.  
3.4.1  
Optimizing Device Performance  
When choosing a topology for a multiple chassis fabric, you should also consider  
the locality of your server and storage devices and the performance requirements  
of your application. Storage applications such as video distribution, medical record  
storage/retrieval or real-time data acquisition can have specific latency or  
bandwidth requirements. Refer to ”Performance” on page 3-4 for information  
about latency and bandwidth. However, the highest performance is achieved on  
Fibre Channel switches by keeping traffic within a single switch instead of relying  
on ISLs. Therefore, for optimal device performance place devices on the same  
switch under the following conditions:  
Heavy I/O traffic between specific server and storage devices.  
Distinct speed mismatch between devices such as the following:  
A 2-Gbps server and a slower 1-Gbps storage device  
A high performance server and slow tape storage device

3.4.2  
Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock  
The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics:  
Domain ID  
Principal priority  
Domain ID lock  
The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a  
fabric. The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal  
switch which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric. The switch with the  
highest principal priority (1 is high, 255 is low) becomes the principal switch. If the  
principal priority is the same for all switches in a fabric, the switch with the lowest  
WWN becomes the principal switch.  
The domain ID lock allows (False) or prevents (True) the reassignment of the  
domain ID on that switch. Switches come from the factory with the domain ID set  
to 1, the domain ID lock set to False, and the principal priority set to 254. Refer to  
the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about  
changing the domain ID and domain ID lock using SANsurfer Switch Manager.  
Refer to the ”Set Config Command” on page B-33 for information about changing  
the default domain ID, domain ID lock, and principal priority parameters.  
An unresolved domain ID conflict means that the switch with the higher WWN will  
isolate as a separate fabric, and the Logged-In LEDs on both switches will flash  
green to show the affected ports. If you connect a new switch to an existing fabric  
with its domain ID unlocked, and a domain ID conflict occurs, the new switch will  
isolate as a separate fabric. However, you can remedy this by resetting the new  
switch or taking it offline then back online. The principal switch will reassign the  
domain ID and the switch will join the fabric.  
Note:  
Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by  
domain ID/port number pair or Fibre Channel address. You must  
reconfigure zones that are affected by domain ID reassignment. To  
prevent zoning definitions from becoming invalid under these  
conditions, lock the domain IDs using SANsurfer Switch Manager or  
the Set Config Switch command.

Common Topologies  
The SANbox2-8c switch supports three commonly used fabric topologies:  
Cascade  
Mesh  
Multistage®  
3.4.3.1  
Cascade Topology  
A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in  
series. If you connect the last switch back to the first switch, you create a  
cascade-with-a-loop topology as shown in Figure 3-1. The loop reduces latency  
because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the  
loop. The loop also provides failover should a switch fail.  
The cascade fabric shown in Figure 3-1 has the following characteristics:  
Each chassis link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between chassis,  
400 MB/s in full duplex. However, because of the sequential structure, that  
bandwidth will be shared by traffic between devices on other chassis.  
Latency between any two ports is no more than two chassis hops.  
24 Fibre Channel ports are available for devices.

3.4.3.2  
Mesh Topology  
A mesh topology describes a fabric in which each chassis has at least one port  
directly connected to each other chassis in the fabric. The example mesh fabric  
shown in Figure 3-2 has the following characteristics:  
Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between switches, 400  
MB/s in full duplex. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less  
competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage topology.  
Latency between any two device ports is one chassis hop.  
20 Fibre Channel ports are available for devices.

3.4.3.3  
Multistage Topology  
A Multistage topology describes a fabric in which two or more edge switches  
connect to one or more core switches. Each additional core switch increases the  
bandwidth to each edge switch by 200 MB/s. The Multistage fabric shown in  
Figure 3-3 has the following characteristics:  
Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between chassis.  
Competition for this bandwidth is less than that of a cascade topology, but  
greater than that of the mesh topology.  
Latency between any two device ports is no more than two chassis hops.  
26 Fibre Channel ports are available for devices

3.5  
Fabric Security  
Fabric security consists of the following:  
User account security  
Fabric services  
3.5.1  
User Account Security  
User account security consists of the administration of account names,  
passwords, expiration date, and authority level. If an account has Admin authority,  
all management tasks can be performed by that account in both SANsurfer Switch  
Manager and the Command Line Interface. Otherwise only monitoring tasks are  
available. The default account name, Admin, is the only account that can  
administer user accounts. Consider your management needs and determine the  
number of user accounts, their authority needs, and expiration dates.  
Account names and passwords are always required when connecting to a switch  
through Telnet. However, SANsurfer Switch Manager does not authenticate  
account names when opening a fabric unless user authentication is enabled. User  
authentication is disabled by default and can be changed using the Set Setup  
System command. Refer to the ”Set Setup Command” on page B-49 for more  
information. User authentication must be configured the same for all switches in  
the fabric. If user authentication is disabled, SANsurfer Switch Manager ignores  
the account name and password entries and logs you in with the default account  
name and password (admin, password). Consider your user accounts and  
determine whether user authentication is necessary.  
3.5.2  
Fabric Services  
Fabric services include security-related functions such as inband management  
and SNMP. Inband management is the ability to manage switches across  
inter-switch links using SANsurfer Switch Manager, SNMP, management server,  
or the application programming interface. The switch comes from the factory with  
inband management enabled. If you disable inband management on a particular  
switch, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than a  
direct Ethernet or serial connection.  
59042-06 A

Fabric Management  
0
You can also enable or disable the Simple Network Management Protocol  
(SNMP). SNMP is the protocol governing network management and monitoring of  
network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string and a write  
community string, that are the passwords that control read and write access to the  
switch. The read community string ("public") and write community string ("private")  
are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and should be changed if  
SNMP is enabled. If SNMP is enabled (default) and the read and write community  
strings have not been changed from their defaults, you risk unwanted access to  
the switch. SNMP is enabled by default. Consider how you want to manage the  
fabric and what switches you do not want managed or monitored through other  
switches.  
3.6  
Fabric Management  
The SANsurfer Switch Manager application and CLI execute on a management  
workstation that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of  
multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, and Linux. The  
application can be installed and executed on the workstation, or you can run the  
SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet that is resident on the switch.  
Consider how many fabrics will be managed, how many management  
workstations are needed, and whether the fabrics will be managed with the CLI,  
SANsurfer Switch Manager, or the SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet.  
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins reserved as follows:  
4 logins or sessions for internal applications such as management server  
and SNMP  
9 high priority Telnet sessions  
6 logins or sessions for SANsurfer Switch Manager inband and out-of-band  
logins, Application Programming Interface (API) inband and out-of-band  
logins, and Telnet logins. Additional logins will be refused.

Connect the Workstation to the Switch  
You can manage the switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager or the command  
line interface. SANsurfer Switch Manager requires an Ethernet connection to the  
switch. The command line interface can use an Ethernet connection or a serial  
connection. Choose a switch management method, then connect the  
management workstation to the switch in one of the following ways:  
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch  
RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires  
a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in Figure 4-2. With this method,  
you can manage the switch with the SANsurfer Switch Manager application  
or Command Line Interface.  
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch  
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable  
as shown in Figure 4-2. With this method, you can manage the switch with  
the SANsurfer Switch Manager application or Command Line Interface.  
Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch  
RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as  
shown in Figure 4-2. With this method, you can manage the switch with  
Command Line Interface.

To energize the switch, connect the power cord to the AC power receptacle on the  
front of the switch chassis and to a grounded AC outlet. The switch responds in  
the following sequence:  
1.  
The chassis LEDs (Fan Fail, Over Temperature, Heartbeat, Input Power)  
illuminate followed by all port Logged-In LEDs.  
2.  
After a couple seconds, the Over Temperature, Fan Fail, and Heartbeat  
LEDs are extinguished while the Input Power LED remains illuminated.  
3.  
4.  
After approximately one minute, the POST executes and all LEDs illuminate.  
When the POST is complete, all LEDs are extinguished except the Input  
Power LED and the Heartbeat LED:  
The Input Power LED remains illuminated indicating that the switch  
logic circuitry is receiving DC voltage. If not, contact your authorized  
maintenance provider.  
The Heartbeat LED indicates the results of the POST. The POST tests  
the condition of firmware, memories, data-paths, and switch logic  
circuitry. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily about once per second,  
the POST was successful, and you can continue with the installation  
process. Any other blink pattern indicates that an error has occurred.

Install Firmware  
The switch comes with current firmware installed. You can upgrade the firmware  
from the management workstation as new firmware becomes available. Firmware  
installation involves loading the firmware image file onto the switch, unpacking the  
image file, and then resetting the switch to activate the new firmware.  
Note:  
You can load and activate version 4.1 firmware on an operating switch  
without disrupting data traffic or having to re-initialize attached devices  
under the following conditions:  
The current firmware version is a 2.x, 3.x, or a 4.x version that  
precedes the upgrade version.  
No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including  
powering up, powering down, disconnecting or connecting ISLs,  
and switch configuration changes.  
No port in the fabric is in the diagnostic state.  
No zoning changes are being made in the fabric.  
No changes are being made to attached devices including  
powering up, powering down, disconnecting, connecting, and HBA  
configuration changes.

Diagnostics/Troubleshooting  
Diagnostic information about the switch is available through the chassis LEDs and  
the port LEDs. Diagnostic information is also available through the SANsurfer  
Switch Manager and CLI event logs and error displays. This section describes two  
types of diagnostics: Power On Self Test (POST) and chassis. POST diagnostics  
describe the Heartbeat LED and the port Logged-In LED indications. Chassis  
diagnostics cover power supply and fan diagnostics as well as over temperature  
conditions. This section also describes how to use maintenance mode to recover  
a disabled switch.  
5.1  
POST Diagnostics  
The switch performs a series of Power On Self Tests (POST) as part of its  
power-up procedure. The POST diagnostic program performs the following tests:  
Checksum tests on the boot firmware in PROM and the switch firmware in  
flash memory  
Internal data loopback test on all ports  
Access and integrity test on the ASIC  
During the POST, the switch logs any errors encountered. Some POST errors are  
critical, others are not. The switch uses the Heartbeat LED and the Logged-In  
LED to indicate switch and port status. A critical error disables the switch so that it  
will not operate. A non-critical error allows the switch to operate, but disables the  
ports that have errors. Whether the problem is critical or not, contact your  
authorized maintenance provider.  
If there are no errors, the Heartbeat LED blinks at a steady rate of once per  
second. If a critical error occurs, the Heartbeat LED will show an error blink  
pattern. If there are non-critical errors, the switch disables the failed ports and  
flashes the associated Logged-In LEDs. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns”  
on page 5-2 for more information about Heartbeat LED blink patterns.

Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns  
The Heartbeat LED indicates the operational status of the switch. When the POST  
completes with no errors, the Heartbeat LED blinks at steady rate of once per  
second. When the switch is in maintenance mode, the Heartbeat LED illuminates  
continuously. Refer to ”Recovering a Switch” on page 5-12 for more information  
about maintenance mode. All other blink patterns indicate critical errors.  
The Heartbeat LED shows an error blink pattern for the following conditions:  
5.1.1.1  
Internal Firmware Failure Blink Pattern  
An internal firmware failure blink pattern is 2 blinks followed by a two second  
pause. The 2-blink error pattern indicates that the firmware has failed, and that the  
switch must be reset. Momentarily press and release the Maintenance button to  
reset the switch.

5.1.2.1  
E_Port Isolation  
A Logged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. An isolated  
E_Port is indicated by a red link in the SANsurfer Switch Manager topology  
display. E_Port isolation can be caused by the following:  
FL_Port is connected to another switch  
Conflicting domain IDs  
Conflicting timeout values  
Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets  
Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information  
about how to change domain IDs, timeout values, and edit zoning.  
Review the event browser and do the following to diagnose and correct an  
isolated E_Port:  
1.  
Does the event browser show a repeating alarm about an unsupported  
E_Port command on the affected port?  
Yes - The port is configured as an FL_Port and connected to another  
switch. Correct the port connection or the port type.  
No - Continue.  
2.  
Display the fabric domain IDs using the Show Domains command or the  
Switch data tab in the SANsurfer Switch Manager topology display. Are all  
domain IDs in the fabric unique?  
Yes - Continue.  
No - Correct the domain IDs on the offending switches using the Set  
Config Switch command or the SANsurfer Switch Manager Switch  
Properties window. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.  
3.  
Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the  
fabric using the Show Config Switch command or the Switch data tab of the  
SANsurfer Switch Manager topology display. Is each timeout value the same  
on every switch?  
Yes - Continue.  
No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the  
Set Config Switch command or the SANsurfer Switch Manager Switch  
Properties dialog. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.

Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active  
command or the Active Zoneset tab of the SANsurfer Switch Manager  
topology display. Compare the zone membership between the two active  
zone sets. Are they the same?  
Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.  
No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones  
so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition  
remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.  
Note:  
This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active  
zone sets have two zones with the same name, but  
different membership.  
5.1.2.2  
Excessive Port Errors  
The switch monitors a set of port errors and generates alarms based on  
user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the  
following:  
CRC errors  
Decode errors  
ISL connection count  
Login errors  
Logout errors  
Loss-of-signal errors  
Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. Refer to the  
SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about  
managing port threshold alarms.  
If the count for any of these errors exceeds the rising trigger for three consecutive  
sample windows, the switch generates an alarm and disables the affected port,  
changing its operational state to “down”. Port errors can be caused by the  
following:  
Triggers are too low or the sample window is too small  
Faulty Fibre Channel port cable  
Faulty SFP  
Faulty port  
Fault device or HBA

Review the event browser to determine if excessive port errors are responsible for  
disabling the port. Look for a message that mentions one of the monitored error  
types indicating that the port has been disabled, then do the following:  
1.  
Examine the alarm configuration for the associated error using the Show  
Config Threshold command or the SANsurfer Switch Manager application.  
Refer to the ”Show Config Command” on page B-70. Refer to Table B-5 for a  
list of the alarm configuration defaults. Are the thresholds and sample  
window correct?  
Yes - Continue  
No - Correct the alarm configuration. If the condition remains, continue.  
2.  
Reset the port, then perform an external port loopback test to validate the  
port and the SFP. Refer to the Test Command” on page B-82 or the  
SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about  
testing ports. Does the port pass the test?  
Yes - Continue  
No - Replace the SFP and repeat the test. If the port does not pass the  
test, contact your authorized maintenance provider. Otherwise  
continue.  
3.  
4.  
Replace the Fibre Channel port cable. Is the problem corrected?  
Yes - Complete.  
No - Continue.  
Inspect the device to which the affected port is connected and confirm that  
the device and its HBA are working properly. Make repairs and corrections  
as needed. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance  
provider.

Appendix B  
Command Line Interface  
The command line interface (CLI) enables you to perform a variety of fabric and  
switch management tasks through an Ethernet or a serial port connection. This  
section describes the following:  
Logging on to a switch  
User accounts  
Working with switch configurations  
Commands  
B.1  
Logging On to a Switch  
To log on to a switch using Telnet, open a command line window on the  
workstation and enter the Telnet command followed by the switch IP address:  
# telnet ip_address  
A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login. Enter an account name and  
password.  
To log on to a switch through the serial port, configure the workstation port with the  
following settings:  
9600 baud  
8-bit character  
1 stop bit  
No parity  
Enter an account name and password when prompted.  
B.2  
User Accounts  
Switches come from the factory with the following user account already defined:  
Account name: admin  
Password: password  
Authority: Admin  
This user account provides full access to the switch and its configuration. After  
planning your fabric management needs and creating your own user accounts,  
consider changing the password for this account. Refer to ”Commands” on  
page B-5 for more information about authority levels. Refer to the ”User  
Command” on page B-86 for information about creating user accounts.

Note:  
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins or sessions  
reserved as follows:  
4 logins or sessions for internal applications such as management  
server and SNMP  
9 high priority Telnet sessions  
6 logins or sessions for SANsurfer Switch Manager inband and  
out-of-band logins, Application Programming Interface (API)  
inband and out-of-band logins, and Telnet logins. Additional logins  
will be refused.  
B.3  
Working with Switch Configurations  
Successful management of switches and fabrics with the command line interface  
depends on the effective use of switch configurations. Modifying configurations,  
backing up configurations, and restoring configurations are key switch  
management tasks.  
B.3.1  
Modifying a Configuration  
A switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration.  
Each switch configuration contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning  
configuration components.  
The Show Switch command displays the name of the active configuration. A  
configuration name can have up to 31 characters excluding the pound symbol (#),  
semicolon (;), and comma (,). By editing the latest configuration and saving the  
results under a new name, you can create a history of configuration changes. Use  
the Config List command to display the names of the configurations stored on the  
switch  
SANbox2 #> config list  
Current list of configurations  
------------------------------  
default  
config_10132003  
To modify a switch configuration you must open an Admin session with the Admin  
Start command. An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes  
at the same time either through Telnet or SANsurfer Switch Manager. You must  
also open a Config Edit session with the Config Edit command and indicate which  
configuration you want to modify. If you do not specify a configuration name the  
active configuration is assumed. The Config Edit session provides access to the  
B-2  
59042-06 A  
 
     
B – Command Line Interface  
Working with Switch Configurations  
0
Set Config commands with which you make modifications to the port, switch, port  
threshold alarm, or zoning configuration components as shown:  
SANbox2 #> admin start  
SANbox2 (admin) #> config edit default  
The config named default is being edited.  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config port . . .  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config switch . . .  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config threshold . . .  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config zoning . . .  
The Config Save command saves the changes you made during the Config Edit  
session. In this case, changes to the configuration named Default are being saved  
to a new configuration named config_10132003. However, the new configuration  
does not take effect until you activate it with the Config Activate command as  
shown:  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> config save config_10132003  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> config activate config_10132003  
SANbox2 (admin-config)#> admin end  
SANbox2 #>  
The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators  
when you are done making changes to the switch.  
B.3.2  
Backing up and Restoring Switch Configurations  
Backing up and restoring a configuration is useful to protect your work or for use  
as a template in configuring other switches. The Config Backup command creates  
a file on the switch, named configdata. This file can be used to restore a switch  
only with the command line interface; it cannot be used to restore a switch using  
SANsurfer Switch Manager.  
SANbox2 #> admin start  
SANbox2 (admin) #> config backup  
The configdata file contains all of the switch configuration information including  
the following:  
All named switch configurations including the default configuration. This  
includes port, switch, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration  
components.  
All SNMP and network information defined with the Set Setup command.  
The zoning database included all zone sets, zones, and aliases  
59042-06 A  
B-3  
 
   
B – Command Line Interface  
Working with Switch Configurations  
0
You use FTP to download the configdata file to your workstation for safe keeping  
and to upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the  
configdata file, open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account  
name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Get  
command as shown:  
>ftp ip_address  
user:images  
password: images  
ftp>bin  
ftp>get configdata  
xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs.  
ftp>quit  
You should rename the configdata file on your workstation with the switch name  
and date, config_switch_169_10112003, for example.  
The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the  
workstation to the switch, then finishes with a Telnet session and the Config  
Restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003  
in this case, open and FTP session with account name images and password  
images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Put command as shown:  
ftp ip_address  
user:images  
password: images  
ftp> bin  
ftp> put config_switch_169_10112003 configdata  
ftp>quit  
The restore process replaces all configuration information on the switch and  
afterwards the switch is automatically reset. If the restore process changes the IP  
address, all management sessions are terminated. Use the Set Setup System  
command to return the IP configuration to the values you want. Refer to the ”Set  
Setup Command” on page B-49. To restore the switch, open a Telnet session,  
then enter the Config Restore command from within an Admin session as shown:  
SANbox2 #> admin start  
SANbox2 (admin) #> config restore  
The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration.

Opens the admin session.  
end (or stop)  
Closes the admin session. The Hardreset, Hotreset, Logout, Shutdown, and  
Reset Switch commands will also end an admin session.  
cancel  
Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this keyword with care  
because it terminates the Admin session without warning the other user and  
without saving pending changes.  
Notes  
Closing a Telnet window during an admin session does not release the session. In  
this case, you must either wait for the admin session to time out, or use the Admin  
Cancel command.

You can load and activate version 4.0.x firmware on an operating switch without  
disrupting data traffic or having to re-initialize attached devices under the following  
conditions:  
The current firmware version is a 2.0, 3.0, or a 4.0.x version that precedes  
the upgrade version.  
No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including powering up,  
powering down, disconnecting or connecting ISLs, and switch configuration  
changes.  
No port in the fabric is in the diagnostic state.  
No zoning changes are being made in the fabric.  
No changes are being made to attached devices including powering up,  
powering down, disconnecting, connecting, and HBA configuration changes.
