Vixel 9000 Series Installation & Configuration Guide CHAPTER 2 Installing and Connecting
7
The Vixel 9000 Series Switch runs through Power-On Self Test (POST) diagnostics
to verify the fundamental integrity of the switch box, port memory, and related
circuitry. The POST sequence follows.
1. All port LEDs turn on for one second, then the LEDs below each turn on as the
corresponding POST test progresses in the sequence listed. Note: Length of time
varies for each test.
2. If the LEDs complete the above sequence and then turn off, the Vixel 9000
Series Switch has passed all POST tests and is ready for operation. (For a list of
LED indications during operation, see “Ports and LEDs” on page 48.)
If at least one yellow LED blinks, the Vixel 9000 Series Switch has failed a
POST test. (To determine the failed test(s), subtest(s), and error code(s),
see“Running Diagnostics” on page 56.)
Changing the Switch’s IP Address
The IP Address of the Vixel 9000 Series Fibre Channel Switch must be changed
from its default IP Address (192.168.1.129) to allow communication with other
devices on a network. You can change the IP Address of a Vixel 9000 Series Switch
through a serial connection to the Command Line Interface (CLI).
To connect to the serial interface, attach one end of an RS-232 null modem cable to
the computer’s serial port, and attach the other end to the switch’s DB-9 serial port
(port may be labeled “RS-232”). Make sure the cable is connected to the correct
computer port.
