ED-DCX-4S-B Configuration Overview
Note: If the PB-DCX-16EB encryption blade is installed, refer to the Fabric OS
Encryption Administrator’s Guide for the procedures to configure the
encryption functions.
The ED-DCX-4S-B must be configured before it is connected to the
fabric, and all of the configuration commands must be entered
through the active CP blade. The ED-DCX-4S-B configuration
includes the following parameters:
◆ IP address and subnet mask for the chassis
◆ IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses
for both CP blades
◆ Switch name
◆ Domain ID (optional)
◆ WWN (optional)
The ED-DCX-4S-B WWN is initially set by the factory to match the
license ID (which is based on the chassis serial number).
The configuration information is mirrored to the standby CP blade,
which allows the current configuration to remain available even if the
active CP blade fails. The configuration information for the
ED-DCX-4S-B is stored in the WWN cards and the flash memory of
the CP blades. The configuration can be backed up to a workstation
(uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP blade if necessary.
Figure 4 on page 45 illustrates the flow of the basic configuration
tasks.
