voltages.  
2.2  
Fibre Channel Ports  
Each SANbox2-16 switch has 16 Fibre Channel ports numbered 0 - 15 as shown  
in Figure 2-4. Each of these ports is served by a Small Form-Factor Pluggable  
(SFP) transceiver. The port LEDs are located to the right of their respective ports  
and provide port login and activity status information. The ports self discover the  
proper mode when connected to public devices and other switches. You can also  
configure any port to support a loop of private devices.

2 – General Description  
Fibre Channel Ports  
Q
2.2.1  
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers  
An SFP transceiver, like the one shown in Figure 2-5, converts electrical signals to  
and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. SFP transceivers plug  
into the ports; duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers which then  
connect to the devices. A port is capable of transmitting at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps;  
however, the transceiver must be capable of 2 Gbps for the port to deliver at that  
rate.  
The SFP transceivers are hot swappable. This means that you can remove or  
install an SFP transceiver while the switch is operating without harming the switch  
or the transceiver. However, communication with the connected device will be  
interrupted. Refer to Section 6 Removal/Replacement for information about  
installing and removing SFP optical transceivers.  
Figure 2-5. SFP Transceiver  
2.2.2  
Port LEDs  
Each data port has its own Logged-In LED and Activity LED as shown in  
Figure 2-6. The Logged-In LED indicates whether the port and its connected  
device are logged into the fabric, or if it is connected to another switch and they  
are segmented. The Activity LED indicates the frequency at which the port  
receives or transmits frames.

Fibre Channel Ports  
Q
2.2.2.1  
Logged-In LED  
The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization status of the connected  
devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all  
Logged-In LEDs. Following a successful loop initialization or port login, the switch  
illuminates the corresponding logged-in LED. This shows that the port is properly  
connected and able to communicate with its attached devices. The Logged-In  
LED remains illuminated as long as the port is initialized or logged in. If the port  
connection is broken or an error occurs that disables the port, the Logged-In LED  
will flash. Refer to ”Logged-In LED Indications” on page 5-5 for more information  
about the Logged-In LED.  
2.2.2.2  
Activity LED  
The Activity LED indicates that data is passing through the port. Each frame that  
the port transmits or receives causes this LED to illuminate for 50 milliseconds.  
This makes it possible to observe the transmission of a single frame. When  
extending credits, the Activity LED for a donor port will reflect the traffic of the  
recipient port. Refer to ”Distance” on page 3-6 for more information about  
extended credits and donor ports.  
2.2.3  
Port Modes  
SANbox2-16 switches support the following port modes:  
Generic ports (GL_Port and G_Port)  
Fabric ports (FL_Port and F_Port)  
Translated loop ports (TL_Port)  
Expansion ports (E_Port)  
Switches come from the factory with all ports configured as GL_Ports. GL_Ports  
self-configure in the following ways:  
FL_Port when connected to a loop of public devices  
F_Port when connected to a single public device. If the device is a single  
device on a loop, the GL_Port will attempt to configure first as an F_Port,  
then if that fails, as an FL_Port.  
E_Port when connected to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch

Fibre Channel Ports  
Q
G_Ports self-configure in the following ways:  
F_Port when connected to a public device  
E_Port when connected to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch  
A TL_Port supports private loop devices and must be configured explicitly. Refer  
to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information  
about defining port modes.  
2.2.3.1  
Fabric Ports  
An FL_Port can support a loop of up to 126 public devices. An FL_Port can also  
configure itself during the fabric login process as an F_Port when connected to a  
single public device (N_Port).  
2.2.3.2  
Translated Loop Port  
A TL_Port supports a loop of up 124 private target devices with the ability to  
communicate with up to 63 “off-loop” public devices. Private loop initiator devices  
are not supported on the TL_Port. The TL_Port acts as a proxy for the off-loop  
device translating private frames into and from public frames. The set of off-loop  
devices are maintained in the TL_Port’s translation entries list. The switch  
firmware automatically creates an entry in the translation entries list for each  
off-loop initiator device that attempts to establish communication. Soft or VPF  
zoning can be used to limit the number of potential initiators to 63. Zone  
membership must be done by worldwide name, or domain ID and port ID.  
TL_Ports connect to devices that conform to the Fibre Channel-Private Loop SCSI  
Direct Attach (FC-PLDA) standard. Devices connected to TL_Ports are registered  
with the Name Server.  
2.2.3.3  
Expansion Port  
E_Ports enable you to expand the fabric by connecting SANbox2-16 switches with  
other FC-SW-2 compliant switches. SANbox2-16 switches self-discover all  
information about multiple chassis fabrics.

Fans  
Q
Each power supply is capable of providing all of the switch’s power needs. During  
normal operation, each power supply provides half of the demand. If one power  
supply goes offline, the second power supply steps up and provides the  
difference.  
The power supplies are hot swappable and interchangeable. Hot swappable  
means that you can remove and replace one power supply while the switch is in  
operation without disrupting service.  
Each power supply has two status LEDs: an Output Power LED (green) and an  
Over Temperature LED (amber):  
The Output Power LED illuminates to indicate that the power supply is  
producing DC voltage at the proper levels.  
The Over Temperature LED illuminates to indicate that the power supply is  
overheating. When a power supply overheats, the switch extinguishes the  
Output Power LED and shuts down the power supply. Refer to  
Section 5 Diagnostics/Troubleshooting for information about troubleshooting  
over temperature conditions.  
2.6  
Fans  
The switch is equipped with two fans as shown in Figure 2-10. If one fan should  
fail, the other fan is capable of providing the necessary cooling until the failed fan  
can be replaced. The fans are hot swappable and interchangeable. Refer to  
”Fans” on page 6-4 for information about removing and replacing the fans. Air flow

Switch Management  
Q
2.7  
Switch Management  
SANbox Manager is a workstation-based Java® application that provides a  
graphical user interface for fabric management. This application runs on a  
Windows®, Solaris™, or Linux® workstation. The management workstation  
connects to the fabric directly through one switch’s Ethernet port and provides  
in-band management for all other switches in the fabric. Refer to the  
SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about the  
SANbox Manager application and its use.  
In addition to SANbox Manager, the switch supports the following management  
tools:  
Command Line Interface  
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)  
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)  
The command line interface provides monitoring and configuration functions by  
which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. Refer to  
Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.  
FTP provides the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch  
and the management workstation. These files include firmware image files,  
configuration files, and log files.  
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox2 firmware  
supports SNMP versions 1 and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information  
Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information  
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP versions 1 or 2.

Consider the following when planning a fabric:  
Devices  
Multiple chassis fabrics  
Performance  
Device access  
Fabric management  
Fabric security  
3.1  
Devices  
When planning a fabric, consider the number of devices and the anticipated  
demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the  
number of switches. Consider how many and what types of switches are needed.  
Consider the distribution of public and private devices as well as targets and  
initiators. Public devices have full Fibre Channel addressing capability, and  
therefore can communicate with any other public device on the fabric. An F_Port  
supports a single public device. An FL_Port can support up to 126 public devices  
in an arbitrated loop.  
Private devices do not have full Fibre Channel addressing capability, only the  
Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA) portion. A TL_Port provides a proxy for  
a loop of up to 124 private target devices allowing communication with up to 63  
off-loop public initiator devices. Consider the number of private devices in the  
fabric and the number of off-loop devices with which the private devices must  
communicate.  
The SANbox2-16 Fibre Channel switch uses SFP optical transceivers, but the  
device host bus adapters you are using may not. Consider whether the device  
adapters use SFP transceivers or Gigabit Interface Converters (GBIC), and  
choose fiber optic cable accordingly. Use LC-type cable connectors for SFP  
transceivers and SC-type cable connectors for GBIC transceivers.

Multiple Chassis Fabrics  
Q
3.2  
Multiple Chassis Fabrics  
By connecting switches together you can expand the number of available ports for  
devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the  
fabric will automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the ports are  
self-configuring, you can connect SANbox2-16 and other FC-SW-2 compliant  
switches together in a wide variety of topologies.  
3.2.1  
Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock  
The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics:  
Domain ID  
Principal priority  
Domain ID lock  
The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a  
fabric. The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal  
switch which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric. The switch with the  
highest principal priority (1 is high, 255 is low) becomes the principal switch. If the  
principal priority is the same for all switches in a fabric, the switch with the lowest  
WWN becomes the principal switch.  
The domain ID lock allows (FALSE) or prevents (TRUE) the reassignment of the  
domain ID on that switch. Switches come from the factory with the domain ID set  
to 1, the domain ID lock set to FALSE, and the principal priority set to 254. Refer  
to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about  
changing the domain ID using SANbox Manager. Refer to ”Set Config Command”  
on page B-26 for information about changing the default domain ID, domain ID  
lock, and principal priority parameters.  
An unresolved domain ID conflict means that the switch with the higher WWN will  
isolate as a separate fabric, and the Logged-In LEDs on both switches will flash to  
show the affected ports. If you connect a new switch to an existing fabric with its  
domain ID unlocked, and a domain ID conflict occurs, the new switch will isolate  
as a separate fabric. However, you can remedy this by resetting the new switch or  
taking it offline then back online. The principal switch will reassign the domain ID  
and the switch will join the fabric.  
Note:  
Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by  
domain ID/port number pair or Fibre Channel address. You must  
reconfigure zones that are affected by domain ID reassignment. To  
prevent zoning definitions from becoming invalid under these  
conditions, lock the domain IDs using SANbox Manager or the Set  
Config Switch command.

Q
3.2.2  
Common Topologies  
This section describes three commonly used topologies:  
Cascade  
Mesh  
Multistage®  
3.2.2.1  
Cascade Topology  
A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in a  
linear fashion. If you connect the last switch back to the first switch, you create a  
cascade-with-a-loop topology as shown in Figure 3-1. The loop reduces latency  
because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the  
loop. The loop also provides failover should a switch fail.  
The cascade fabric shown in Figure 3-1 has the following characteristics:  
Each chassis link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between chassis,  
400 MB/s in full duplex. However, because of the sequential structure, that  
bandwidth will be shared by traffic between devices on other chassis.  
Latency between any two ports is no more than three chassis hops.  
48 Fibre Channel ports are available for devices.

Q
3.2.2.2  
Mesh Topology  
A mesh topology describes a fabric in which each chassis has at least one port  
directly connected to each other chassis in the fabric. The example mesh fabric  
shown in Figure 3-2 has the following characteristics:  
Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between switches, 400  
MB/s in full duplex. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less  
competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage topology.  
Latency between any two device ports is no more than two chassis hops.  
40 Fibre Channel ports are available for devices

3.2.2.3  
Multistage Topology  
A Multistage topology describes a fabric in which two or more edge switches  
connect to one or more core switches. Each additional core switch increases the  
bandwidth to each edge switch by 200 MB/s. The Multistage fabric shown in  
Figure 3-3 has the following characteristics:  
Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between chassis.  
Competition for this bandwidth is less than that of a cascade topology, but  
greater than that of the mesh topology.  
Latency between any two device ports is three chassis hops.

Performance  
Q
3.3  
Performance  
The SANbox2-16 switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at  
transmission rates of 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes.  
A port can transmit or receive at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps depending on the device to  
which it is connected. The port discovers the transmission speed prior to login  
when the connected device powers up. Related performance characteristics  
include the following:  
Distance  
Bandwidth  
Latency  
3.3.1  
Distance  
Consider the physical distribution of devices and switches in the fabric. Choose  
SFP transceivers that are compatible with the cable type, distance, Fibre Channel  
revision level, and the device host bus adapter. Refer to  
Appendix A Specifications for more information about cable types and SFP  
transceivers.  
Each port is supported by a data buffer with a 12 credit capacity; that is, 12  
maximum sized frames. For fibre optic cables, this enables full bandwidth over a  
distance of 20 kilometers at 1 Gbps (0.6 credits/Km), or 10 kilometers at 2 Gbps  
Gbps (1.2 credits/Km). Beyond this distance, however, there is some loss of  
efficiency because the transmitting port must wait for an acknowledgement before  
sending the next frame.  
Longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth by extending credits on  
G_Ports and F_Ports. Each port can donate up to 11 credits to a pool from which  
a recipient port can borrow. For example, you can configure a recipient port to  
borrow up to 66 credits from 6 ports for a total of 78 credits. This will support  
communication over approximately 130 Km at 1 Gbps (78÷0.6) or 65 Km at 2  
Gbps (78÷1.2).  
You can configure recipient and donor ports using SANbox Manager or the Set  
Config command. Refer to ”Set Config Command” on page B-26 for more  
information.

3.3.2  
Bandwidth  
Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given  
transmission rate. A port can transmit or receive at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps depending  
on the device to which it is connected. The switch supports all transmission rate  
combinations as shown in Table 3-1.

In multiple chassis fabrics, each link between chassis contributes 100 or 200  
megabytes of bandwidth between those chassis. When additional bandwidth is  
needed between devices, increase the number of links between the connecting  
switches. The switch guarantees in-order-delivery with any number of links  
between chassis.  
3.3.3  
Latency  
Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels from one port to another. The  
factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source/destination  
port relationship as shown in Table 3-2.

Device Access  
Q
3.4  
Device Access  
Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of  
zones and zone sets. Some zoning strategies include the following:  
Separate devices that use different operating systems.  
Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in  
the fabric or have classified data.  
Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group.  
Group TL_Port target devices with initiators to allow automatic discovery.  
Reserve a path and its bandwidth from one port to another.  
A zone is a named group of devices that can communicate with each other.  
Membership in a zone can be defined by switch port number, port Fibre Channel  
address, or by device worldwide name (WWN). Devices can communicate only  
with devices that are members of the same zone. A zone can be a member of  
more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be defined for a fabric, but only  
one zone set can be active at one time. The active zone set determines the  
current fabric zoning.  
A zoning database is maintained on each switch consisting of all inactive zone  
sets, the active zone set, all zones, aliases, and their membership. The  
SANbox2-16 switch supports the following maximum limits:  
256 zone sets  
256 zones per zone set  
1000 total zones  
2000 members per zone  
256 aliases  
2000 members per alias  
2000 total number of alias and zone members  
Three types of zones are supported:  
Soft zone  
Access Control List (ACL) - hard zone  
Virtual Private Fabric (VPF) - hard zone

Device Access  
Q
3.4.1  
Soft Zones  
Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery. Members of  
the same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all other  
members of the same zone. The soft zone boundary is not secure; traffic across  
soft zones can occur if addressed correctly. The following rules apply to soft  
zones:  
Soft zones that include members from multiple switches need not include  
the ports of the inter-switch links.  
Soft zone boundaries yield to ACL and VPF zone boundaries.  
Soft zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one  
soft zone.  
Membership can be defined by Fibre Channel address, domain ID and port  
ID, or worldwide name.  
Soft zoning supports all port modes.  
3.4.2  
Access Control List Hard Zones  
Access Control List (ACL) zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling  
discovery and inbound traffic. ACL zoning is a type of hard zoning that is  
hardware enforced. This type of zoning is useful for controlling access to certain  
devices without totally isolating them from the fabric. Members can communicate  
with each other and transmit outside the ACL zone, but cannot receive inbound  
traffic from outside the zone. The following rules apply to ACL zones:  
The ACL zone boundary is secure against inbound traffic.  
ACL zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one  
ACL zone.  
ACL zones that include members from multiple switches need not include  
the ports of the inter-switch links.  
ACL zone boundaries supersede soft zone boundaries, but yield to VPF  
zone boundaries.  
Membership can be defined only by domain ID and port ID.  
ACL zoning supports all port modes except TL_Port.

Q
3.4.3  
Virtual Private Fabric Hard Zones  
Virtual Private Fabric (VPF) zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling  
discovery and both inbound and outbound traffic. This type of zoning is useful for  
providing security and reserving paths between devices to guarantee bandwidth.  
VPF zoning is a type of hard zoning that is hardware enforced. Members can only  
transmit to and receive from members of the same VPF zone. The VPF zone  
boundary is secure against both inbound and outbound traffic. The following rules  
apply to VPF zones:  
VPF zones that include members from multiple switches must include the  
ports of the inter-switch links.  
VPF zones cannot overlap; that is, a port can be a member of only one VPF  
zone.  
VPF zone boundaries supersede both soft and ACL zone boundaries.  
Membership can be defined only by domain ID and port ID.  
VPF zoning supports all port modes.  
3.5  
Fabric Management  
The SANbox Manager application and CLI execute on a management workstation  
that provides for the configuration, control, maintenance of the fabric. Supported  
platforms include Windows, Windows NT, Solaris, and Linux. The SANbox  
Manager application can manage multiple fabrics. Consider how many fabrics will  
be managed, how many management workstations are needed, and whether the  
fabrics will be managed with the CLI or SANbox Manager.  
The switch supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes SANbox  
Manager inband and out-of-band logins, Application Programming Interface (API)  
inband and out-of-band logins and Telnet logins. Of this 15, there can be a  
combined maximum of 10 SANbox Manager and API logins. Additional logins will  
be refused.

Fabric Security  
Q
3.6  
Fabric Security  
You manage fabric security on a switch basis through the creation of user  
accounts. Each account consists of an account name, a password, and an  
authority level. There are two authority levels: User and Admin. These authority  
levels apply to SANbox Manager and to the CLI. User authority permits only  
monitoring and display tasks. Admin authority permits all management tasks  
including user administration. Furthermore, you can enable or disable the  
enforcement of user accounts and authority levels. Consider your fabric security  
needs, who the system administrators will be, and authority levels they should  
have.  
Refer to ”Commands” on page B-3 for more information about authority  
levels.  
Refer to the ”User Command” on page B-67 for information about creating  
user accounts.  
Refer to the ”Set Setup Command” on page B-38 and the System keyword

The switch can be placed on a flat surface and stacked or mounted in a 19” EIA  
rack. The top of each chassis has dimples to receive the rubber feet of a second  
chassis stacked on top. Without the rubber feet, the switch occupies 1U of space  
in an EIA rack. Mounting rails are required and available through QLogic  
Corporation.  
WARNING!! Mount switches in the rack so that the weight is distributed  
evenly. An unevenly loaded rack can become unstable possibly  
resulting in equipment damage or personal injury.  
CAUTION!  
If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,  
make sure that the operating temperature inside the rack  
enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient  
temperature. Refer to ”Switch Environmental” on page A-4.  
The switch must rest on rails or a shelf in the rack or cabinet.  
Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of  
the rack for service access and ventilation.  
Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum  
clearance at the front and rear of the rack for service access and  
ventilation.  
Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit  
may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring.  
Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage  
of all switches on the circuit. Refer to ”Switch Electrical” on

Observe the Heartbeat LED to determine the results of the Power On Self  
Test (POST). The POST tests the condition of firmware, memories,  
data-paths, and switch logic circuitry and passes a blink code to the  
Heartbeat LED. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily about once per second,  
the POST was successful, and you can continue with the installation  
process. Any other blink pattern appears indicates that an error has  
information about the error blink pattern.

Configure the Ports  
Configuring a port involves defining the port mode. For public devices and other  
switches, a switch automatically sets the port mode as each port discovers the  
type of device to which it is connected. The default port mode is GL_Port.  
A GL_Port will self configure as an FL_Port when connected to a loop of public  
devices or an F_Port when connected to a single device. A G_Port will self  
configure as an F_Port when connected to a single public device. Both GL_Ports  
and G_Ports self configure as E_Ports when connected to another switch. Refer  
to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information  
about configuring ports. You can also configure ports using the CLI. Refer to  
Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.

Section 5  
Diagnostics/Troubleshooting  
Diagnostic information about the switch is available through the chassis LEDs, the  
power supply LEDs, and the port LEDs. Diagnostic information is also available  
through the SANbox Manager and CLI event logs and error displays. This section  
describes two types of diagnostics: Power On Self Test (POST) and chassis.  
POST diagnostics describe the Heartbeat LED and the port Logged-In LED  
indications. Chassis diagnostics cover power supply and fan diagnostics as well  
as over temperature conditions. This section also describes how to use  
maintenance mode to recover a disabled switch.  
5.1  
POST Diagnostics  
The switch performs a series of Power On Self Tests (POST) as part of its  
power-up procedure. The POST diagnostic program performs the following tests:  
Checksum tests on the boot firmware in PROM and the switch firmware in  
flash memory  
Internal data loopback test on all ports  
Access and integrity test on the ASIC  
During the POST, the switch logs any errors encountered. Some POST errors are  
fatal, others are non-fatal. The switch uses the Heartbeat LED and the Logged-In  
LED to indicate switch and port status. A fatal error disables the switch so that it  
will not operate. A non-fatal error allows the switch to operate, but disables the  
ports that have errors. Whether the problem is fatal or non-fatal, contact your  
authorized maintenance provider.  
If there are no errors, the Heartbeat LED blinks at a steady rate of once per  
second. If a fatal error occurs, the Heartbeat LED will show an error blink pattern.  
If there are non-fatal errors, the switch disables the failed ports and flashes the  
associated Logged-In LEDs. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on page 5-1  
for more information about Heartbeat LED blink patterns.  
5.1.1  
Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns  
5.1.1.1  
Normal (all pass)  
If all POST diagnostics pass, the switch will go to normal operation and the  
Heartbeat LED will blink at a steady rate of one (1) blink per second.

Q
5.1.2.1  
E_Port Isolation  
A Logged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. An isolated  
E_Port is indicated by a red link in the SANbox Manager topology display. E_Port  
isolation can be caused by conflicting domain IDs, conflicting timeout values, or  
conflicting zone membership between active zone sets. Refer to the  
SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about how to  
change domain IDs, timeout values, and edit zoning.  
Review the alarm log and do the following to diagnose and correct an isolated  
E_Port:  
1.  
Display the fabric domain IDs using the Show Domains command or the  
Switch data tab in the SANbox Manager topology display. Are all domain IDs  
in the fabric unique?  
Yes - Continue.  
No - Correct the domain IDs on the offending switches using the Set  
Config Switch command or the SANbox Manager Switch Properties  
window. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.  
2.  
Compare the RA_TOV, ED_TOV, RT_TOV timeout values for all switches in  
the fabric using the Show Config Switch command or the Switch data tab of  
the SANbox Manager topology display. Is each timeout value the same on  
every switch?  
Yes - Continue.  
No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the  
Set Config Switch command or the SANbox Manager Switch  
Properties window. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.  
3.  
Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active  
command or the Active Zoneset tab of the SANbox Manager topology  
display. Compare the zone membership between the two active zone sets.  
Are they the same?  
Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.  
No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones  
so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition  
remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.  
Note:  
This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active  
zone sets have two zones with the same name, but  
different membership.

Q
5.1.2.2  
Excessive Port Errors  
The switch monitors a set of port errors and generates alarms based on  
user-defined sample intervals and thresholds. Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch  
Management User’s Guide for information about managing alarms. These port  
errors include the following:  
CRC errors  
Decode errors  
ISL connection count  
Login errors  
Logout errors  
Loss-of-signal errors  
If the count for any of these errors exceeds the rising threshold for three  
consecutive sample intervals, the switch generates an alarm and disables the  
affected port, changing its operational state to “down”. Port errors can be caused  
by the following:  
Thresholds are too low or the sample interval is too small  
Faulty Fibre Channel port cable  
Faulty SFP  
Faulty port  
Fault device or HBA  
Review the alarm log to determine if excessive port errors are responsible for  
disabling the port. Look for a message that mentions one of the monitored error  
types indicating that the port has been disabled, then do the following:  
1.  
Examine the alarm configuration for the associated error using the Show  
Config Threshold command or the SANbox Manager application. Refer to  
the alarm configuration defaults. Are the thresholds and sample interval  
correct?  
Yes - Continue  
No - Correct the alarm configuration. If the condition remains, continue.

When replacing a fan, consider the following:  
The left and right fans are interchangeable. However, you must orient the  
fan so that the modular connector aligns with the mating connector in the  
switch as shown in Figure 6-4.  
Replacement fans must be compatible with the switch air flow direction. Air  
flow direction for switch model SB2A-16A is front-to-back; air flow direction  
for switch model SB2A-16B is back-to-front.  
A label on the fan indicates the switch model number and fan air flow  
direction as shown in Figure 6-4.  
CAUTION!  
Both fans must have the same air flow direction to prevent the  
switch from overheating.

Appendix B  
Command Line Interface  
Each switch contains a Telnet server. This server allows a Telnet client to establish  
a Telnet session with the switch to retrieve information or to configure parameters  
using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI enables you to perform a  
variety of fabric and switch management tasks through an Ethernet or a serial port  
connection.  
B.1  
Logging On to a Switch  
To log on to a switch using Telnet, open a command line window on the  
management workstation and enter the Telnet command followed by the switch IP  
address:  
/> telnet 123.45.67.89  
A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login. Enter an account name and  
password. Switches come from the factory with the following user account already  
defined:  
Account name: admin  
Password: password  
Authority: Admin  
This user account provides full access to the switch and its configuration. After  
planning your fabric management needs and creating your own user accounts,  
consider changing the password for this account. Refer to ”Commands” on  
page B-3 for more information about authority levels. Refer to the ”User  
Command” on page B-67 for information about creating user accounts.  
Note:  
A switch supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes  
SANbox Manager inband and out-of-band logins, Application  
Programming Interface (API) inband and out-of-band logins and Telnet  
logins. Of this 15, there can be a combined maximum of 10 SANbox  
Manager and API logins. Additional logins will be refused.

B.3  
Commands  
The command set provides for User and Admin authority levels.  
User authority grants viewing access to the fabric and switches using the  
Show command and other read-only commands.  
Admin authority includes the User authority and grants permission to use the  
Admin command. The Admin Start command opens an admin session which  
provides access to the commands that change switch and fabric  
configurations. Refer to the ”Admin Command” on page B-4.  
Note:  
Admin authority is enforced only if fabric security is enabled. By  
default, fabric security is disabled. Refer to ”Set Setup Command” on  
page B-38 (System keyword) for more about setting fabric security.  
The commands and their page numbers are listed by authority level in Table B-1.

Admin Command  
Q
Admin Command  
Opens and closes an Admin session. The Admin session provides commands  
that change the fabric and switch configurations. Only one Admin session can be  
open on the switch at any time. An inactive Admin session will time out after a  
period of time which can be changed using the Set Setup System command.  
Authority  
Syntax

Keywords start (or begin)  
Opens the admin session.  
end (or stop)  
Closes the admin session. The Logout, Shutdown, and Reset Switch commands  
will also end an admin session.  
cancel  
Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this keyword with care  
because it terminates the Admin session without warning the other user and  
without saving pending changes.  
Notes  
Closing a Telnet window during an admin session does not release the session. In  
this case, you must either wait for the admin session to time out, or use the Admin  
Cancel command.  
Examples The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session:  
SANbox2 #> admin start

SecurityEnabled  
Enables (True) or disables (False) the enforcement  
of account names and passwords. The default is  
False.  
LocalLogEnabled  
Enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of log  
information on the switch. The default is True.  
RemoteLogEnabled  
Enables (True) or disables (False) the recording of  
the switch event log on a remote host that supports  
the syslog protocol. The default is False.  
RemoteLogHostAddress  
The IP address of the host that will receive the  
switch event log information if remote logging is  
enabled. The default is 10.0.0.254.  
Notes  
The two components of security are user authentication and fabric security. The  
user must be authenticated before gaining access to a switch. If an invalid  
account name/password combination is entered, that user can not access the  
switch, and thus can not gain access to the fabric. If security is enabled (True) and  
a valid account name/password combination is entered, that user can access the  
switch but can not execute any command that exceeds their authority (privileges)  
level. If security is disabled (False) and a valid account name/password  
combination is entered, that user has access to all switches in the fabric and can  
execute all commands (both user and admin), regardless of their authority  
(privilege) level.

Link Failures  
A loop initialization primitive frame used to acquire a valid  
AL_PA.  
A loop initialization primitive frame used to indicate that a  
loop failure has been detected at the receiver.  
Number of optical link failures detected by this port. A link  
failure is a loss of synchronization for a period of time  
greater than the value of R_T_TOV or by loss of signal  
while not in the offline state. A loss of signal causes the  
switch to attempt to re-establish the link. If the link is not  
re-established by the time specified by R_T_TOV, a link  
failure is counted. A link reset is performed after a link  
failure.  
Login
