The switch is placed in an offline state, the default zone is set to deny, the domain ID is set to 0圆1 (97), and timers are altered to match the fabric. In this example, the McData 6064 switch is configured for interop mode using Telnet and the CLI. Configuring the MDS 9000 Switch Configuring the McData 6064 Switch.This section describes the configuration process and includes the following topics: This restart requires any device logged into the VSAN to log into the fabric again to obtain a new FC ID. Only the MDS 9000 switch can perform this action, as the domain manager process for this VSAN is restarted and not the entire switch. Nondisruptive-This event is limited to the VSAN where the event is taking place.When changing domain IDs, McData requires the entire switch to be taken offline and/or rebooted. Disruptive-This event impacts the entire switch.While the MDS 9000 switch can handle domain IDs outside of this range in its normal mode of operation, the implementation of interoperability mode includes this limitation.ĭomain ID modifications can be handled in two ways, disruptively or nondisruptively: The domain IDs are limited to the 97 to 127 range due to a restriction imposed by McData's inability to handle IDs outside of that range. Only standard E ports are used for the ISLs. The lack of MDS 9000 switch-to-MDS 9000-switch connections prohibits the topology from containing TE ports or PortChannels. The MDS switch continues to load balance across ISLs using source/destination/ox-id of the frame. If the McData switch can load balance using source/destination/ox-id, then it can choose either of the ISLs for the route through the fabric. The McData switches load balance their routes using source/destination the ingress edge switch uses the same ISL for all traffic that has the same source/destination pair.

Note After two active zone sets successfully merge, always copy the active zone set to the full zone set database prior to modifying it on the Cisco MDS 9000 switch.Īll links within the topology show the link cost of 500, because the McData 6064 switch used in this example only supports 2 Gbps. The Cisco MDS 9000 switch only provides hardware-enforced security on the ingress ports to the fabric, while the McData switch only provides soft zoning. Either core switch may make zoning changes and have them be propagated to the other core switch.īoth core switches provide all of the zone security for the device-attached ports because the Cisco MDS 9000 switch and the McData switches do not check the source and destination of the frame when traversing E ports. When a zone set activation is made at one core switch, the zone set activation is sent to the other core switch. In the core-core topology, zone members are all pWWNs, because the McData domain/port nomenclature is not a valid form according to the FC standard. This section covers the Fibre Channel services and features that act differently in this topology ( Figure 5-1) as compared to a homogeneous, single-vendor implementation. Note The VZ1 JBOD is an arbitrated loop with 12 drives.
