Configuring the Switch
Setting All Ports
To set binding configuration for all ports in the switch at the same
time, right-click anywhere in the Port Binding column; then click the
desired option:
◆ Bind All WWNs — Enables Port Binding for all ports. Each port
will be bound to the device with the WWN/Nickname entered in
the Bound WWN column for that port.
◆ Unbind All WWNs — Disables Port Binding for all ports,
allowing any device in the fabric to attach to any port in the
switch.
◆ Bind All Ports to Attached WWN — Binds each port to the
device currently logged in to to that port. The Bound WWN
column will display that device’s WWN/nickname.
◆ Clear All Bound WWNs — Deletes all WWNs/nicknames from
the Bound WWN column.
Speed This sets the data rate for the port. Click this column on a port’s row
to display a drop-down list; then click the desired type:
◆ 2Gb/sec
◆ 1Gb/sec
◆ Negotiate — Allows the port to negotiate the data speed with an
attached device.
Set the speed to 2 Gb/sec only on ports that support this speed.
EMC recommends that only 2 Gb/s optics be installed in DS-32M2s.
If a 1 Gb/s optic is inserted and the port speed is configured for
1 Gb/sec, the optic will operate. However, if the port speed is
configured for either 2 Gb/sec or Negotiate, the Port List view will
report the port state status as Inactive and the port will not be
operational.
To set all ports to the same setting, right-click the Speed column in
any row, and select a setting from the drop-down list:
◆ Set All To 1 Gb/sec
◆ Set All To 2 Gb/sec
◆ Set All To Negotiate
When you change a port’s speed and click Activate on the dialog box,
a confirmation message states that this setting will temporarily
disrupt port data transfers.
