Viewing Current Settings
You can view all of the switch’s current settings (including system, port, zone, and
version settings) at either the show menu or, for some settings, the specific submenu.
To view all current switch settings from the Root Menu, type show and choose
from the displayed options.
System Parameters
Note: The time can be set
only after a date has been
set. The entered date must
contain a valid year.
System parameters include name, time, date, contact, location, and Ethernet mode
(10/100, half- or full-duplex).
To view or change system parameters from the Root Menu, type config system
and choose from the displayed options.
Port Parameters
Port parameters include speed (1 Gb or 2 Gb), type (protocol), name, buffer and
time-out values, and other settings.
To view or change port parameters from the Root Menu, type config port and
choose from the displayed options. The port speed option is under the advanced
submenu (config port advanced). Make sure you set the port number before
changing the port speed.
Enabling/Disabling Ports
You can configure any port on the switch to be enabled or disabled.
To enable or disable a port:
1. Type diag port at the Root Menu.
2. Select the port you wish to enable or disable by typing port p where p is the
port number.
3. Once the port is selected, type mode.
4. Type 0 to disable the port or 1 to enable the port.
Zones
Zoning configurations consist of enabling or disabling port communications.
To configure or change zoning from the Root Menu, type config zone config
A p,p,p where A is the accessing port and each p is a designated accessible port.
The maximum number of designated accessible ports is 7 for the Vixel 9100 and 15
for the Vixel 9200.
For example: config zone config 1 2,3,4 enables communication between
port 1 and ports 2, 3, and 4 and disables communication between port 1 and any
unnamed ports. (Ports that are not listed are not accessible. In the above example,
ports 1-4 are denied access to ports 5-16 on a Vixel 9200 Switch.)
