Brocade 5100 Access Gateway QuickStart Guide 3
Complete the steps in this guide to install and setup a management connection to your Brocade 5100 switch, and to enable Access Gateway mode.
Power up and connect cables to the switch
ATTENTION
1.Connect the power cord to the switch and then to the power source. The power and status LEDs display amber then green. This can take from one to 3 minutes.
When you enable Access Gateway mode, you disable the ability for the Brocade 5100 to operate as a switch. Access Gateway mode and switch mode are mutually exclusive. If you want to use the Brocade 5100 as a switch at a later time, you will need to disable Access Gateway mode and enable switch mode. Changing between Access Gateway and Switch modes is a data disruptive operation. It is strongly recommended that you disable the switch from the command line interface before enabling or disabling Access Gateway mode.
2.Get an Ethernet hub. 3.Connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the LAN through an Ethernet hub.

Getting Ready
2
Before you start the installation and setup of your switch, ensure the following items are available. 1 2 3
A setup computer.with a serial COM port, running either a Microsoft Windows or a UNIX operating system. A serial cable with an RJ45 connector on one end to attach to the Brocade 5100, and a connector that works on the setup computer’s serial port on the other end. Have the correct Ethernet addressing information available. You may write the addresses below for reference. Static IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch ______________ ___________________________________________________
4.Attach a serial cable from the RJ45 console port on the switch to the COM port on the setup computer.

Configure a Terminal Emulation Program on the Setup Computer
Configure a terminal emulation program on the setup computer, such as HyperTerminal for Windows computers, or TERM for UNIX computers, and establish a terminal session. The COM port properties are:
• • • • •
Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 Parity: none Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None
7.From the setup computer, start a terminal session. 8.Log in as administrator, using the default user name and password. The default user name is admin. The default password is password.
Subnet mask value: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Default Gateway value:___________________________________________________________________________________
5.Connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the setup computer.

Ensure all POD licenses are present and enabled
1. Enter LicensePort - -Show at the terminal application prompt to display the port licensing assignments. POD licenses must be present and enabled for all 40 ports to enable Access Gateway on the Brocade 5100 switch. If all ports are not enabled, refer to the EZswitchSetup Administrator’s Guide for instructions on how to enable port licenses.

Set the switch IP address
1. Enter ipadderset at the terminal application prompt. Prompts are displayed for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, and Gateway IP address. 2. Enter the addresses you want to use for your installation 3. Enter y at the Set IP Address Now? prompt, and press Enter to commit the IP address changes. After the configuration changes are committed, you are returned to the terminal application prompt.

2. Connect Fibre Channel cables. Using a mapping scheme appropriate for your installation, connect servers to ports in the F_port group, and edge switches to ports in the N-port group (see the figure in step six).
Enable Access Gateway Mode
a.
Remove plastic protector caps from the Fibre Channel cable ends (if there are any), and position the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly.
b.
Insert the cable connector into the SFP until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
1. At the terminal application prompt, type SwitchDisable, and press Enter to disable switch mode. !
2. If you are converting an Brocade 5100 currently configured as a switch to Access Gateway mode, type configUpload Save and press Enter to save the current configuration. 3. To enable Access Gateway mode, type ag - -modeEnable, and press Enter. The switch automatically reboots and comes back online in Access Gateway mode. 4. Enter the ag - -modeShow command to ensure that the Brocade 5100 is in Access Gateway mode. 5. Enter ag - -mapshow to display the F_port to N_port mapping. The F_ports connect to servers, and the N_ports connect to Fabrics. The following figure summarizes default port assignments and mapping options for Access Gateway on the Brocade 5100.
Default mapping: 0-3 to 32 8-11 to 34 4-7 to 33 12-15 to 35

Ports 32-39 are N_ports with failover and failback enabled.
ATTENTION The Automatic Port Configuration Policy (APC) is disabled in the factory default. The switch should be in a disabled state before activating or deactivating the APC policy. When the APC policy is enabled, all the existing F_Port to N_Port mappings are deleted. When the APC policy disabled, N_Port configuration and F_Port to N_Port mapping will revert back to the factory default.

Bring up the Management Interface
1. From your management console, log in to the switch. If Web Tools is available on the computer, you may launch an internet browser window and type in the IP address as the http:// address. If Web Tools is not available, or if you prefer to work from a command line interface, launch a Telnet window, and log in to the switch IP address through Telnet. In either case, use the default admin user name and password, unless you have already changed them. 2. If you successfully log in, quit the terminal application program on the setup computer, and physically disconnect the setup computer from the serial port and Ethernet port. If you are unsuccessful, you may want to use the setup computer to troubleshoot the connection. Typically, the problem is incorrect IP addressing. You may want to issue a ping command from the setup computer to the management console to test the IP path. 3. If you logged in with the default password, change it now. As a precaution, you may want to write down the password and store it in a secure location for future reference.
