Managing Advanced Features

Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches support advanced features, such as world wide names, domains, and name server. The Fabric Manager allows you to configure these features on multiple Cisco MDS 9000 switches. The Device Manager allows you to configure these features on a single Cisco MDS 9000 switch.

Note For information about configuring these advanced features using the command-line interface (CLI), refer to the Cisco 9000 Family Configuration Guide.

Procedures for managing advanced features include:

•Managing World Wide Names

•Managing Domain Parameters

•Configuring the Name Server

•Viewing RSCN Information

•Configuring Timers

•Configuring Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

Managing World Wide Names

Each port on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch is uniquely identified by its world wide names (WWNs), which include the switch MAC address and an identifier for each port. The principal switch selection and the allocation of domain IDs use the WWN to identify a specific port.

To add WWNs, perform the following steps.

Step 1 From the Fabric Manager, choose FC > WWN Manager on the menu tree, OR
From the Device Manager, choose WWN Manager from the FC menu.

The information pane of the Fabric Manager displays WWN information for multiple switches. The dialog box from the Device Manager displays WWN information for a single switch.

Step 2 Configure the BaseMacAddress and MacAddressRange attributes for the WWN(s).

Step 3 In the Fabric Manager information pane, the information is updated. In the Device Manager dialog, click Apply to accept the changes; click Close to close the WWWN Manager dialog without saving changes.

Note You can access the field descriptions for the windows or dialog boxes in this procedure in the Reference section of the Fabric Manager or Device Manager help systems.

Step 6 Select the Assignment.

This is the type of persistency of this FC ID (static or dynamic).

Step 7 Click Create to create the persistent FCID; click Close to return to the Domain Manager without creating the FCID.

To delete a persistent FCID, do the following.

Step 1 Select the persistent FCID you want to delete.
