NOTE You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers. Velcro-like wraps are recommended. • Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the switch. • Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius. • For eas

1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation or terminal device. If the serial port on the workstation or terminal device is RJ45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ45 connector into the RJ45 serial port on the workstation. 2. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment), and configure the application

switch(config-Management-1/0)# ip address dhcp Enabling and disabling Brocade VCS mode Enable or disable a single switch for VCS™ mode as soon as passwords have been assigned and an IP address has been set. Enabling VCS mode is disruptive since a reboot is required once the mode has been enabled. Enabling or disabling VCS mode also causes the default configuration file for that mode to be applied. The basic configuration tasks include enabling or disabling VCS mode explicitly, setting VCS par

4. When the switch comes back up, enter the copy running-config startup-config command to apply the default configuration to the startup configuration. This is important to capture any changes that have been made to the running configuration so that they will persist the next time the switch reboots in the same mode. Configuring switch ports By default, the interfaces are not configured as switch ports. In order to put an interface in Layer 2 mode, use the following command in Interface Conf

FIGURE 2 Inserting a cable into an SFP+ Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubs For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is required. If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable. NOTE The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover
