switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are
propagated to all switches in the fabric
Verifying correct operation and backing up the configuration
To verify correct operation and back up the switch configuration, follow these steps.
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED
patterns, see “Interpreting LEDs” .
2. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.
3. Run the portcfgpersistentenable command to activate the FC ports for FC operation.
4. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow command from the
workstation. This command provides information about switch and port status.
5. Verify the correct operation of the switch in the fabric by entering the fabricShow command
from the workstation. This command provides general information about the fabric.
6. Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configUpload command and
following the prompts.
This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for
downloading to a replacement switch if necessary.
It is recommended that the configuration be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a
complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch. For specific
instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric
OS Command Reference.
Installing SFPs and attaching cables
To install SFPs and cables to the switch, follow these steps.
1. If necessary, remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
2. Ensure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position. Place the SFP in the correct
position on the port ( Figure 8 ).
3. Slide the SFP into the port until it clicks into place. Close the bail.
NOTE
Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to
insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert
an SFP into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.
