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.
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 7 ).
3. Slide the SFP into the port until it clicks into place. Close the bail.
