G620 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Establishing an Ethernet Connection
Perform the following steps to establish an Ethernet connection to the device:
1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port.
2. Ensure that the partner side of the link is set with Auto Negotiation turned on for proper operation.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the device Ethernet port and to the workstation or an Ethernet network that connects the
workstation.
NOTE
At this point, the device can be accessed remotely, using either the command line or Brocade Web Tools.
Ensure that the device is not being modified from any other connections during the remaining tasks in this
chapter. The Ethernet management port also supports Auto MDI/MDIX.
Setting the Domain ID
Perform the following steps to set the switch domain ID:
1. Log on to the switch through Telnet using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if necessary.
The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default
domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is
connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, enter the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric.
Perform the following steps to modify the domain ID:
a) Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
b) Enter the configure command. The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter
to accept each default value.
c) Enter y after the Fabric param prompt.
Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d) Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if still available).
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e) Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the
prompts.
f) Re-enable the switch by entering the switchEnable command.
Verifying Correct Operation
Perform the following steps to verify correct operation of the device:
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
2. Verify the correct operation of the device by entering the following commands from the workstation.
