Security  
Managing the fabric database

Zoning a fabric  
3.1  
Security  
The two components of SANbox2 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 (on)  
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 (off) 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  
(privileges) level.  
3.1.1  
User Authentication  
User authentication pertains to accessing a switch based on a valid account  
name/password combination entered by the user. The valid account  
name/password/system privileges combinations are set up by the system  
administrator, and define which set of system commands each user may execute  
if a valid account name/password combination is entered. The system privileges  
are tied to the account name/password combination.  
3.1.2  
Fabric Security  
Fabric security pertains to whether all switches in the fabric are configured to  
permit access to each switch in that fabric. All switches in the fabric should be  
configured with the same security setting (enabled/true or disabled/false). By  
default, security is disabled. Once access is gained to the entry switch in a fabric,  
that user may access all switches in that fabric.

Managing the Fabric Database  
A fabric database contains the set of fabrics that you have added during a  
SANbox Manager session. Initially, the SANbox Manager application opens with  
an empty fabric database.

To add a fabric to the database, do the following:  
1.  
Open the Fabric menu and select Add Fabric to open the Add a New Fabric  
window as shown in Figure 3-1.  
Figure 3-1. Add a New Fabric Window  
2.  
3.  
Enter a fabric name and the IP address of the switch through which to  
manage the fabric.  
Enter an account name. The factory account name and password are  
(admin, password). Choose the Add Fabric button.  
This password is for the switch and is stored in the switch firmware. If  
security is turned off (default), you are not required to enter an account  
name or password. Refer to ”Security” on page 3-1. Refer to the Set Setup  
Command on page A-34 for account name, password, and security  
information.  
Note:  
A switch supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes  
SANbox Manager inband and out-of-band logins, Telnet out-of-band  
logins, and SNMP out-of-band logins. Additional logins will be refused.

3.2.6  
Adding a New Switch to a Fabric  
If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, simply plug  
in the switch and the switch becomes functional with the default fabric  
configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are:  
■
■
■
Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric.  
All ports will be GL_Ports.  
The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without a gateway  
or boot protocol configured (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP).  
If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default  
fabric configuration, do the following:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
If the switch is not new, reset the switch to factory configuration before  
adding the switch to the fabric using the Restore Factory Defaults option in  
the Switch menu.  
If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, you must first  
configure the network SNMP configuration using the Network Properties  
window.  
Configure any special switch settings (default visibility, broadcast support,  
and orphan zone behavior). We suggest configuring Default Visibility setting  
to None in the Zoning Config window to prevent communication with other  
switches in the fabric until the new switch is configured.  
4.  
5.  
Plug in the inter-switch links (ISL), but do not connect the devices.  
Configure the port types for the new switch (GL_Port, TL_Port, Donor) using  
the Port Properties window.  
6.  
7.  
Connect the devices to the switch.  
Make any necessary zoning changes using the Edit Zoning window.

Deleting Switches and Links  
The SANbox Manager application does not automatically delete switches or links  
that have failed or have been physically removed from the Fibre Channel network.  
In these cases, you can delete switches and links to bring the display up to date. If  
you delete a switch or a link that is still active, the SANbox Manager application  
will restore it automatically. You can also refresh the display. To delete a switch  
from the topology display, do the following:

3.4.1.1  
Zones  
A zone is a named group of ports or devices that can communicate with each  
other. Membership in a zone can be defined by port number, device Fibre  
Channel address, or device World Wide Name (WWN). Zone members can  
communicate only with members of the same zone. Zones can overlap; that is, a  
port or device can be a member of more than one zone.  
Note:  
Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch  
domain IDs. These reassignments are not reflected in zones that use  
domain ID and port number pairs or Fibre Channel addresses to define  
their membership. Be sure to reconfigure zones that are affected by a  
domain ID change. To prevent zoning definitions from becoming invalid  
when the membership is defined by domain ID/port number or Fibre  
Channel address, use the Set Config Switch command to lock domain  
IDs. Refer to the ”Set Config Command” on page A-24.  
Three types of zones are supported. The following zone types define increasing  
restrictive levels of communication.  
■
■
■
Soft zone  
Access Control List (ACL) - hard zone  
Virtual Private Fabric (VPF) - hard zone  
3.4.1.1.1  
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. 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, port ID and domain ID, or worldwide name.  
Soft zoning supports all port modes.

3.4.1.1.2  
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 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 port ID and domain ID. ACL zoning supports all port modes except  
TL_Ports.  
3.4.1.1.3  
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. 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 port ID and domain ID. VPF zoning supports  
all port modes.  
3.4.1.2  
Aliases  
To make it easier to add a group of ports or devices to one or more zones, you can  
create an alias. An alias is a named set of ports or devices that are grouped  
together for convenience. Unlike zones, aliases impose no communication  
restrictions between its members. You can add an alias to one or more zones.  
However, you cannot add a zone to an alias, nor can an alias be a member of  
another alias.

ꢂ
3.4.1.3  
Zone Sets  
A zone set is a named group of zones. A zone can be a member of more than one  
zone set. All zones that are not members of a zone set belong to the orphan zone  
set. The orphan zone set is saved to the switch. Each switch in the fabric  
maintains its own zoning database containing one or more zone sets. This zoning  
database resides in non-volatile or permanent memory and is therefore retained  
after a reset. Refer to ”Configured Zonesets Data Window” on page 4-6 for  
information about displaying the zoning database.  
To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it. When you activate a  
zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to every switch in the fabric.  
Therefore, every switch in the fabric will have identical active zone sets. Refer to  
”Active Zone Set Data Window” on page 3-8 for information about displaying the  
active zone set.  
3.4.1.4  
Zoning Database  
Each switch has its own zoning database. The zoning database is made up of all  
aliases, zones, and zone sets that have been created on the switch or received  
from other switches. The switch maintains two copies of the zoning database: one  
copy is maintained in temporary memory for editing purposes; the second copy is  
maintained in permanent memory. When you modify aliases, zones, and zone  
sets, these changes are made to the temporary zoning database. If you reset the  
switch or lose power to the switch before saving the permanent zoning database,  
the changes will be lost.  
The Auto Save zoning configuration parameter controls whether the temporary  
zoning database is automatically saved in permanent memory. Refer to ”Zoning  
Configuration” on page 3-13 for more information about the Auto Save  
parameters.

ꢂ
3.4.1.5.1  
Auto Save  
The Auto Save parameter on a switch determines whether zoning changes  
received from other switches in the fabric will be automatically saved to  
permanent memory on that switch. Zoning changes you apply to your switch are  
automatically saved to permanent memory on your switch, but where those  
changes are saved on each switch in the fabric is dependent on whether a switch  
has the Auto Save parameter enabled or disabled.  
Zoning changes are saved to temporary memory on all switches in the fabric. If  
Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware automatically saves the zoning  
changes it receives to both temporary and permanent memory on that switch. If  
Auto Save is disabled on a switch, any zoning changes that the switch receives  
will be stored only in its temporary memory.  
How the save operation is triggered depends on the selected merge mode. When  
in SW-2 merge mode, changes are saved when an updated zone set is activated.  
When in Brocade™ merge mode, changes are saved when any zone set is  
updated. You can save the zoning database to permanent memory (if Auto Save  
is disabled) using the Zoning command. Refer to Zoning Command on page A-67.  
3.4.1.5.2  
Merge Mode  
The Merge Mode parameter enables a SANbox2 switch to interoperate with  
Brocade switches running non-FC-SW-2-compliant firmware. There are two  
merge modes: SW2 and Brocade Proprietary. The SW2 merge mode is intended  
for FC-SW-2 compliant switches. The Brocade merge mode is intended for  
SANbox2 fabrics that include Brocade switches with non-FC-SW-2 compliant  
firmware. All switches in a fabric should be set to the same merge mode,  
otherwise the switches may become isolated from each other.  
When you activate a zone set, the SW2 merge mode causes the active zone set  
to be distributed to temporary memory on all switches in the fabric. This ensures  
that all switches have identical active zone sets. The Brocade merge mode  
propagates the entire zoning database to temporary memory on all switches in the  
fabric anytime the zoning database is changed and saved on any switch.  
3.4.1.5.3  
Default Visibility  
Default Visibility determines the level of communication that is permitted between  
devices when there is no active zone set. The default visibility parameter can be  
set differently on each switch. When default visibility is enabled (All) on a switch,  
the switch and its devices can communicate with all devices in the fabric. When  
Default Visibility is disabled (None) on a switch, none of the ports on that switch  
can communicate with any other port in the fabric.

3.4.4  
Merging Fabrics and Zoning  
If you join two fabrics, the active zone sets from the two fabrics attempt to merge.  
The fabrics may consist of a single switch or many switches already connected  
together. The switches in the two fabrics attempt to create a new active zone set  
containing the union of each fabric’s active zone set. The propagation of zoning  
information only affects the active zone set, not the configured zone sets, unless  
the Merge Mode is set to "Brocade Proprietary". Refer to ”Merge Mode” on  
page 3-14.  
3.4.4.1  
Zone Merge Failure  
If a zone merge is unsuccessful, the inter-switch links between the fabrics will  
isolate due to a zone merge failure, which will generate an alarm log entry. The  
reason for the E_Port isolation can also be determined by viewing the port  
information. Refer to ”Port Information Data Window” on page 4-5 and the ”Show  
Command” on page A-39 (Port keyword).  
A zone merge will fail under the following conditions:  
■
The Merge Mode in the two fabrics is different. All switches in the combined  
fabric must have the same merge mode.  
■
The two active zone sets have member zones with identical names that  
differ in content or type. For example, consider Fabric A and Fabric B each  
with a zone in its active zone set named “ZS1”. Fabric A "ZS1" contains a  
member specified by Domain ID 1 and Port 1; Fabric B “ZS1” contains a  
member specified by Domain ID 1 and Port 2. In this case, the merge will fail  
and the inter-switch links between the fabrics will isolate.  
3.4.4.2  
Zone Merge Failure Recovery  
When a zone merge failure occurs, the conflict that caused the failure must be  
resolved. If the failure was due to differing Merge Modes, change the Merge Mode  
on the switches in one of the fabrics to match the other fabric. Refer to ”Using the  
Zoning Config Window” on page 3-15 for information about changing the Merge  
Mode. To permit the fabrics to join, reset the ports that were isolated. Refer to  
”Resetting a Port” on page 5-13.  
1.  
You can correct a failure due to a zone conflict by deactivating one of the  
active zone sets or editing the conflicting zones so that their membership is  
the same. You can deactivate the active zone set on one switch if the active  
zone set on the other switch accurately defines your zoning needs. If not,  
you must edit the zone memberships, and reactivate the zone sets. Refer to  
”Managing Zones” on page 3-22 for information about adding and removing  
zone members. To permit the fabrics to join, reset the ports that were  
isolated. Refer to ”Resetting a Port” on page 5-13.

Managing Zone Sets  
Zoning a fabric involves creating a zone set, creating zones as zone set members,  
then adding devices as zone members. The zoning database supports multiple  
zone sets to serve the different security and access needs of your storage area  
network, but only one zone set can be active at one time. Managing zone sets  
consists of the following tasks:  
■
■
■
■
■
■
Creating zone sets  
Activating and deactivating zone sets  
Copying a zone to a zone set  
Removing a zone from one zone set or from all zone sets  
Removing a zone set  
Removing all zoning definitions  
Note:  
Changes that you make to the zoning database behave as follows:  
■ In SW2 merge mode, changes to configured zone sets are limited  
to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the  
fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide,  
you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches.  
■ In Brocade merge mode, when a zone set is activated, the entire  
zoning database, including any changes, is distributed from the  
managed switch throughout the fabric.

zone set can be active at one time. When you activate a zone set, the switch  
distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the  
fabric replacing any zone set of the same name. If Auto Save is enabled, the zone  
set is saved in the permanent zoning database also. Refer to ”Auto Save” on  
page 3-14.  
The purpose of the deactivate function is to suspend all fabric zoning which  
results in free communication fabric wide or no communication depending on the  
default visibility setting. Refer to ”Default Visibility” on page 3-14 for more  
information. It is not necessary to deactivate the active zone set before activating  
a new one.  
■
To activate a zone set, open the Zoning menu and select Activate Zone Set  
to open the Activate Zone Set window. Select a zone set from the Select  
Zone Set pull-down menu, and choose the Activate button.  
■
To deactivate the active zone set, open the Zoning menu, select Deactivate  
Zone Set. Acknowledge the warning about traffic disruption, and choose the  
Yes button to confirm that you want to deactivate the active zone set.

4.6.1.3  
Domain ID  
The domain ID is a unique Fibre Channel identifier for the switch. The Fibre  
Channel address consists of the domain ID, port ID, and the Arbitrated Loop  
Physical Address (ALPA). The maximum number of switches within a fabric is 239  
with each switch having a unique domain ID.  
Switches come from the factory with the domain IDs unlocked (DomainID-Lock=  
FALSE). This means that if there is a domain ID conflict in the fabric, the switch  
with the highest principal priority, or the principal switch, will reassign any domain  
ID conflicts and establish the fabric. If you lock the domain ID on a switch  
(DomainIDLock=TRUE) and a domain ID conflict occurs, 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. Refer to the ”Set Config Command”  
on page A-24 for information about the Switch keyword and the DomainIDLock  
and PrincipalPriority parameters.  
If you connect a new switch to an existing fabric with its domain ID unlocked, and  
a domain 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 and port number pair. You must reconfigure zones that are  
affected by domain ID reassignment.  
4.6.1.4  
Broadcast Support  
Broadcast is supported on the SANbox2 which allows for IP-over-Fibre Channel  
support support. Broadcast is implemented using the proposed standard specified  
in Multi-Switch Broadcast for FC-SW-3, T11 Presentation Number T11/02-031v0.  
FSPF is used to setup a fabric spanning tree used in transmission of broadcast  
frames. Broadcast frames are retransmitted on all ISLs indicated in the spanning  
tree and all online F/FL ports. Broadcast zoning is supported with Access Control  
List (ACL) and Virtual Private Fabric (VPF) hard zones. When a broadcast frame  
is received, these hard zones are enforced at the F/FL port. If the originator of the  
broadcast is in a hard zone, the frame is retransmitted on all online F/FL ports  
within the hard zone. If the originator of the broadcast frame is not in a hard zone,  
the frame is retransmitted on online F/FL ports that are not in a hard zone.

Timeout Values  
The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch.  
Table 4-4 describes the switch timeout parameters. The R_A_TOV, R_T_TOV, or  
E_D_TOV values must be the same for all switches in the fabric.  
Note:  
Timeout values can only be changed if the switch operational state is  
offline.

Resource Allocation Timeout. The maximum amount of time a  
frame could be delayed in the fabric and still be delivered. The  
default is 10000 milliseconds.  
Receiver Transmitter Timeout. The amount of time that  
synchonization may be lost between two ports before link  
failure is detected. The default is 100 milliseconds.  
Error Detect Timeout. The maximum round trip time that an

4.6.2.1  
IP Configuration  
The IP configuration identifies the switch on the Ethernet network and determines  
which boot method to use. Table 4-5 describes the IP configuration parameters.  
Table 4-5. IP Configuration Parameters  
Parameter  
IP Address  
Description  
Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port. The default and  
PROM mode value is 10.0.0.1.  
Subnet mask  
Boot Method  
Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. The default and PROM  
mode value is 255.0.0.0.  
Choose one of the following methods:  
■ Static - Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the  
Switch Properties window.  
■ BootP - Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server.  
■ RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) - Acquires the IP  
address from an RARP server. A RARP request is broadcast,  
with up to three retries, each at 5 second intervals. If no IP  
address is obtained, the switch reverts to the previously  
configured IP address.  
■ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Acquires the IP  
configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is  
obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the previously  
configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no IP  
address will be assigned to this switch in order to avoid an IP  
address conflict. The DHCP server must then be made available.  
If a BootP, RARP, or DHCP server is not available, the switch will  
boot. However, you will be unable to manage the switch through the  
Ethernet connection. To manage a switch under these  
circumstances, the connection must be made through the serial port  
or inband from another switch.  
Gateway  
IP gateway address. The default and PROM mode value is  
10.0.0.254.

Remote Logging  
The Remote Logging (syslog) feature enables saving of the log information to a  
remote host that supports the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are  
sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in the Logging Host IP  
Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal switch log whether this feature  
is enabled or not.  
To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file and  
then restart the syslog daemon. The syslog.conf file on the remote host must  
contain an entry that specifies the name of the log file in which to save error  
messages. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file. A <tab> separates the  
selector field (local0.info) and action field which contains the log file path name  
(/var/adm/messages/messages.name).  
local0.info <tab> /var/adm/messages.name

SNMP Trap Configuration  
The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are sent. Table 4-7 describes the  
SNMP configuration parameters.  
Table 4-7. SNMP Trap Configuration Parameters  
Parameter  
Description  
Trap Enabled  
Trap Address  
Check box to enable or disable the trap.  
Specifies the IP address to which SNMP traps are sent. The default

Trap Port  
The port number on which the trap is set.  
Trap Severity  
Specifies a severity level to assign to the trap. Open the pull-down  
menu and choose a level. Traps must be enabled to access this  
pull-down menu. Trap severity levels include Unknown, Emergency,  
Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notify, Info, Debug, and Mark  
4.6.3  
Configuration Backup  
Changes made to the switch since it was manufactured can be saved to a file in  
non-volatile memory. However the backup is lost if the switch is reset. Use the  
FTP User Images procedures to save the configdata file to the workstation. (In  
FTP, no directory listing is available. The configuration backup file is always  
named configdata.) Refer to the ”Config Command” on page A-7 for more  
information. Refer to ”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-15.  
4.6.4  
Configuration Restore  
Switch configurations can be “cloned” to easily propagate an identical  
configuration to other switches. Use the FTP User Images procedures with the  
Put command to send the previously saved (using config backup) configdata file  
to the switch. Use the Config Restore command to return the switch configuration  
to the previously saved configuration. The switch is automatically reset upon a  
successful restore. Refer to the ”Config Command” on page A-7 for more  
information. Refer to ”Restoring a Switch” on page 4-16.

Reinitializing the Configuration File System  
If the Heartbeat LED on the switch is the 4-blink pattern, the configuration file  
system may be corrupted. To recover the previous switch configuration, use the  
Config Restore command. The Heartbeat LED 4-blink pattern continues until a  
previous switch configuration is successfully restored. The Heartbeat LED is not  
reflected in the SANbox Manager.  
4.7  
Archiving a Switch  
You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters.  
Archived parameters include the following:  
■
■
■
■
■
Switch properties and statistics  
IP configuration  
SNMP configuration  
Port properties and statistics  
Zoning configuration  
This archive file can be used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on  
a replacement switch. You can also use the archive file as a template for  
configurring new switches to add to a fabric. Security settings and user account  
information are not archived. The archive can be used later to restore the switch.  
Refer to ”Restoring a Switch” on page 4-16 for more information. To archive a  
switch, do the following:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Open the Switch menu and select Archive.  
In the Save window, enter a file name.

4.8  
Restoring a Switch  
Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the  
switch. The switch configuration must be archived before it can be restored.  
Refer to ”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-15 for more information.  
It is good practice to archive and restore configurations from like switches. This  
means restoring a SANbox2-16 switch with a SANbox2-16 archive file, or  
restoring a SANbox2-8c with a SANbox2-8c archive file. If it is necessary to  
restore a switch with a dissimilar archive file, consider the following:  
■
If you restore a SANbox2-8c switch with a SANbox2-16 archive file, the  
configuration for ports 0-7 on the SANbox2-8c switch will be restored.  
Archive information for ports 8-15 will be ignored.  
■
If you restore a SANbox2-16 switch with a SANbox2-8c archive file, the  
configuration for ports 0-7 on the SANbox2-16 switch will be restored. Ports  
8-15 wil be unchanged.  
The Restore menu item is not available for the inband switches. You can only  
restore a switch out-of-band (the fabric management switch). To restore a switch,  
do the following:  
1.  
2.  
Open the Switch menu and select Restore.  
In the Restore window, enter the switch configuration file name or browse for  
the file.  
3.  
Choose the Restore button.  
4.9  
Loading Firmware  
The switch does not have to offline to download firmware. However, the switch  
must be reset to activate the new firmware, which does require admin authority.  
SANbox Manager will prompt you to reset the switch after the firmware is loaded.  
The To load firmware to a switch, do the following:  
1.  
2.  
In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Load Firmware.  
In the Firmware Upload window, choose the Select button to browse and  
select the firmware file to be uploaded.  
3.  
4.  
Choose the Start button to begin the firmware load process.  
When the loading is complete, choose the Close button to close the  
Firmware Upload window.  
5.  
The application prompts you to reset the switch. Choose the OK button to  
reset the switch and implement the new firmware.

ꢂ
5.2.4  
Changing TL Modes  
You can configure a TL_Port to support a loop of private target devices or a loop  
of private initiator devices.  
■
For a loop of private target devices, choose the TL Target radio button. This  
enables up to 63 initiator devices anywhere in the fabric to automatically  
connect with the private devices on the TL_Port. Use zoning to limit the  
number of possible initiators to 63.  
■
For a loop of private initiator devices, choose the TL Initiator radio button.  
This enables the private initiators on the TL_Port to automatically connect to  
up to 63 target devices. The TL_Port initiator devices and the target devices  
must be members of the same soft zone.  
5.2.5  
Changing Buffer-to-Buffer Credits  
Each SANbox2 port has a receive buffer capacity of 12 Fibre Channel frames or  
credits which is equal to approximately 24K bytes. Port buffer credits can be  
changed on ports to accommodate connections to non-SANbox2 switches that  
have different port buffer capacities. To change port buffer credits, do the  
following:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.  
Open the Port menu and select Port Properties.  
In the E_Port BB Credits field, enter the new number.  
Choose the OK button to write the new buffer-to-buffer setting to the switch.  
5.2.6  
I/O Stream Guard  
The I/O Stream Guard feature suppresses Registered State Control Notification  
(RSCN) messages on a port basis.  
5.2.7  
Extending Port Credits  
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 class 2  
service over a distance of 20 kilometers at 1 Gbps (0.6 credits/Km), or 10  
kilometers at 2 Gbps (1.2 credits/Km). Longer distances can be spanned at full  
bandwidth by borrowing credits from designated donor ports thus pooling the  
buffer capacities. This is called credit extension. Each donor port contributes 11  
credits to the pool from which the recipient ports can draw. For example, one  
donor port contributes 11 credits to the pool from which a recipient draws for a  
total of 23 credits (11+12). This provides approximately 38 Km at 1 Gbps (23÷0.6)  
or 19 Km at 2 Gbps (23÷1.2).

ꢂ
To extend port buffer credits, do the following:  
1.  
In the faceplate display, select the ports that are to serve as donor ports.  
Open the Port menu and select Port Properties. In the Port Properties  
window, choose the Donor radio button and choose OK.  
Note:  
Donor ports are incapable of transmitting or receiving data.  
2.  
3.  
In the faceplate display, select the recipient ports. Recipient ports must be  
configured as G_Ports or F_Ports. Open the Port menu and select  
Extended Credits. This opens the Extended Credits window shown in  
Figure 5-3.  
Distribute the borrowed credits by incrementing the Ext Credits Requested  
field for the recipient ports up to the total credits in the pool. If you exceed  
this total, some recipient ports will not receive the requested credits. Choose  
OK.  
Note:  
As credits are used, the Logged-In LEDs on the corresponding donor  
ports illuminate continuously. In addition, donor port Activity LEDs will  
reflect the same traffic as the recipient port. Donor ports whose credits  
are being used are unavailable to devices that are connected to them.

2.  
In the Faceplate Display, select the port(s) to be reset.  
Open the Port menu and select Reset Port.  
5.3  
Testing Ports  
The port loopback tests verify correct port operation by sending a frame out  
through the loop, and then verifying that the frame received matches the frame  
that was sent. Only one port can be tested at a time for each type of test. The  
three types of port loopback tests are:  
■
SerDes level (Internal) - The SerDes level test verifies port circuitry. The  
SerDes level test sends a test frame from the ASIC through the SerDes chip  
and back to the ASIC for the selected ports. The port passes the test if the  
frame that was sent by the ASIC matches the test frame that was received.  
■
SFP level (External) - The SFP level test also verifies port circuitry. The  
SFP level test sends a test frame from the ASIC through the SerDes chip,  
through the SFP transceiver fitted with a loopback plug, and back to the  
ASIC for the selected ports. The port passes the test if the test frame that  
was sent by the ASIC matches the test frame that was received.  
■
Node-to-Node (Online) - The Node-to-Node test verifies communications  
between the port and its device node or device loop. The port being tested  
must be online and connected to a remote device. The port passes the test if  
the test frame that was sent matches the test frame that was received.

Note:  
The SerDes (Internal) and SFP (External) level tests disrupt  
communication on the selected port. The Node-to-Node (Online) level  
test does not disrupt communication, because the requires that the port  
be online.  
To run the Internal, External, or Online port loopback test on a port, do the  
following:  
1.  
2.  
In the faceplate display, select the port to be tested.  
Open the Port menu and select Port Loopback Test to open the Port  
Loopback Test window.  
3.  
In the Test Selection area, choose the radio button for the type of loopback  
test (Internal, External, or Online) to be run.  
■
■
If you choose the Internal or External test, SANbox Manager will  
prompt you to confirm that the state of the port being tested needs to  
be changed to the Test (diagnostic) state in order to run the test.  
Choose the OK button and SANbox Manager will change the port  
state. In the Port Loopback Test window, choose the Start Test button  
to begin the test.  
If you choose the Online test, the fields in the Test Parameters area  
are activated. Enter the frame count, frame size, and choose a test  
pattern radio button. You may use the default pattern or enter a  
user-specified pattern (hex). Check the Terminate Test Upon Error  
box if you want the test to stop when encountering an error. Choose  
the Start Test button to begin the test.  
4.  
5.  
The Test Results area displays the test status, number of frames sent, and  
number of errors found.  
To test another port, open the Select Port pull-down menu and select  
another port (number) and test type (Internal, External, or Online) in the Test  
Selection area.  
6.  
Choose the Start Test button to begin the next test. Observe the results in

Appendix A  
Command Line Interface  
Each SANbox2 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. The Command Line Interface enables you to perform a variety of  
fabric and switch management tasks through an Ethernet or a serial port  
connection to a switch.  
A.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 123.45.67.890  
A Telnet window opens prompting you for a SANbox2 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 A-3 for more information about authority levels. Refer to the ”User  
Command” on page A-59 for information about creating and deleting user  
accounts.  
Note:  
The switch supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes  
SANbox Manager inband and out-of-band logins, Telnet out-of-band  
logins, and SNMP out-of-band logins. Additional logins will be refused.

Notes  
The two components of SANbox2 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 (on)  
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 (off) 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  
(privileges) level.

Description  
FBusy  
Number of times the switch sent a P_BSY because Class 2  
frame could not be delivered within ED_TOV time. Number  
of class 2 and class 3 fabric busy (F_BSY) frames generated  
by this port in response to incoming frames. This usually  
indicates a busy condition on the fabric or N_port that is  
preventing delivery of this frame.  
Flowerrors  
Received a frame when there were no available credits.  
Number of frames from devices that were rejected.  
Invalid CRC detected.  
FReject

InvalidDestAddr  
LIP ALPD ALPS  
Invalid destination address detected.  
Number of F7, AL_PS LIPs, or AL_PD (vendor specific)  
resets, performed.  
LIPF7ALPS  
This LIP is used to reinitialize the loop. An L_port, identified  
by AL_PS, may have noticed a performance degradation  
and is trying to restore the loop.  
LIPF8ALPS  
LIPF7F7  
This LIP denotes a loop failure detected by the L_port  
identified by AL_PS.  
A loop initialization primitive frame used to acquire a valid  
AL_PA.  
LIPF8F7  
A loop initialization primitive frame used to indicate that a  
loop failure has been detected at the receiver.  
Link Failures  
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  
Time when user logged in.  
Logout  
Time when user logged out.  
LoopTimeouts  
LossOfSync  
A two (2) second timeout as specified by FC-AL-2.  
Number of synchronization losses (>100 ms) detected by  
this port. A loss of synchronization is detected by receipt of  
an invalid transmission word.
