Ports on Demand license
The Brocade 5100 has 40 ports. By default, ports 0-24 are enabled. To enable additional ports, you
must install Ports On Demand (POD) licenses.
To install a POD license, you can either use the supplied license key or generate a license key.
Typically the switch is shipped with a paper pack that specifies the transaction key to use with the
Software License Keys link. Use this transaction key on the Brocade Web site at
www.brocade.com/licensekeys and follow the instructions to generate the key. You can also use
this site to generate other license keys for your switch.
After you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so without
disrupting switch operation by using the portEnable command on each port individually.
Alternatively, you can disable and re-enable the switch to activate all ports simultaneously.
For detailed information on enabling additional ports using the POD license, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Installation and safety considerations
You can install the Brocade 5100 switch in the following ways:
1. As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
2. In an EIA cabinet using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional fixed-rail rack mount kit can
be ordered from your switch retailer.
3. In an EIA cabinet using an optional slide-rail rack mount kit. The optional slide-rail rack
mount kit can be ordered from your switch retailer. When mounting into a slide-rail rack,
you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the non-port side.
4. In an EIA cabinet using an optional mid-mount rack kit for switches. The optional
mid-mount rack kit for switches can be ordered from your switch retailer.
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following:
• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating
on the switch nameplate.
• The power supply standards provided in Table 5, “Power Supply Specifications” on page 28are
met.
Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental
requirements are met:
• At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the non-port side,
which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.
• All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust
air.
• A maximum of 49.3 cubic meters/hour (29 cubic feet/minute) and a minimum of 37.4
cubic meters/hour (22 cubic feet/minute) of air flow is available to the air intake vents on
the non-port side of the switch.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° C (104° F) while the switch is operating.
Cabinet considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure the following cabinet
requirements are met:
• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
• Plan a cabinet space that is one rack unit (1U) high; 4.45 cm (1.75 inches) and 48.3 cm
(19 inches) wide.
• Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and
maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit,
such as a power strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis,
particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits
or unbalance the cabinet in any way.
• Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an
earthquake.
Recommendations for cable management
The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches
with no tensile load.
8Brocade 5100 Hardware Reference Manual
53-1000854-02
Page 21
Installing a standalone Brocade 5100
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on
the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. Following is a list of
recommendations:
NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easy to over tighten.
2
• Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the
cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
• If you are using Brocade ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The
cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
• For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they
are connected.
• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
• Use hook and loop style straps to secure and organize fiber optic cables.
Items required for installation
The following items are required for installing, configuring, and connecting the Brocade 5100 for
use in a network and fabric:
• Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal
• Unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address
• Serial cable (provided)
• Ethernet cable
• SFPs and compatible cables, as required
• Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration (optional)
Installing a standalone Brocade 5100
Perform this task to install the Brocade 5100 as a standalone unit.
1. Unpack the Brocade 5100 and verify the items listed on “Items included with the Brocade
5100” on page 7. Verify the items are present and undamaged.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps prevent the
switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are
free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and
press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Provide power to the switch as described in “Providing power to the switch” on page 10.
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how
to set the IP address, see “Brocade 5100 configuration”
Cabinet installation for a Brocade 5100
You must use one of three rack mount kits to install a Brocade 5100 in a cabinet. A rack mount kit
can be installed in two ways:
• To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the cabinet.
• To allow the non-port side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 inches) back from the edge
of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.
Whichever mounting method you choose, follow the installation instructions shipped with the
appropriate rack mount kit:
• To install the switch into a fixed-rail rack, refer to the Fixed Rack Mount Kit Installation
Procedure.
• To install the switch into a slide-rail rack, refer to the Slide Rack Mount Kit Installation
Procedure.
• To install the switch into mid-mount rack, refer to the Mid-Mount Rack Mount Kit (Switch)
Installation Procedure.
Brocade 5100 configuration
Once you have set up the Brocade 5100 in a rack or as a standalone switch, it is time to give it
power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the Brocade 5100 in a single-switch setup,
you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration.
See the EZSwitchSetup CD, included with the Brocade 5100 for more information. You can also use
the Brocade 5100 Quick Start Guide.
If you do not want to use EZSwitchSetup, follow the instructions in the rest of this section.
Providing power to the switch
Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade 5100.
1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate
circuits to protect against AC failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6
in. available and are routed to avoid stress.
2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the “1” symbol. The power supply
LEDs display amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually
requires from 1 to 3 min to boot and complete POST.
ATTENTION
Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on.
10Brocade 5100 Hardware Reference Manual
53-1000854-02

Brocade 5100 configuration
3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side
of the switch are green.
2
Creating a serial connection
You will perform all basic configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection.
Complete the following steps to create a serial connection to the switch.
1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on
the workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end
of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on
the workstation.
2. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit
in a UNIX environment), and configure the application as follows:
• In a Windows environment:
ParameterValue
Bits per second9600
Databits8
ParityNone
Stop bits1
Flow controlNone
• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Switch IP address
You can configure the Brocade 5100 with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The
Brocade 5100 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the Brocade 5100 obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the
same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the Brocade 5100,
use a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address
Perform the following steps to set a static IP address on the switch.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted.
4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as
prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated
notation as prompted.
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
DHCP [OFF]: off
Date and time settings
The Brocade 5100 maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock
(RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the
date and time; a Brocade 5100 with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.
However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you
should set them correctly.
Time zones
You can set the time zone for the switch by name. You can also set country, city or time zone
parameters.
If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time zone settings. The
tsTimeZone command includes an option to revert to the prior time zone format. For more
information about the
You can set the time zone for a switch using the tsTimeZone command. The tsTimeZone command
allows you to perform the following tasks:
• Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware
• Set the time zone based on a country and city combination or based on a time zone ID such as
PST
The time zone setting has the following characteristics:
• You can view the time zone settings. However, only those with administrative permissions can
set the time zones.
• The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time.
• Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in local
time calculations.
• By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric are in one time
zone, it is possible for you to keep the time zone setup at the default setting.

• System services that have already started will reflect the time zone changes only after the next
reboot.
• Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability.
Local time synchronization
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS)
switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP) servers. To keep the time in your
SAN current, it is recommended that the principal or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized
with at least one external NTP server. The other switches in the fabric will automatically take their
time from the principal or primary FCS switch.
All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in non-volatile memory. By default,
this value is the local clock server <LOCL> of the principal or primary FCS switch. Changes to the
clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the
fabric.
When a new switch enters the fabric, the time server daemon of the principal or primary FCS switch
sends out the addresses of all existing clock servers and the time to the new switch. If a switch with
v5.3.0 or later has entered the fabric it will be able to store the list and the active servers; pre-5.3.0
Fabric OS switches will ignore the new list parameter in the payload and will update only the active
server address.
If the active NTP server configured is IPv6, then distributing the same in the fabric will not be
possible to switches earlier than v5.3.0 because IPv6 is supported for Fabric OS version 5.3.0 and
later. The default value LOCL will be distributed to pre-5.3.0 switches.
The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name
formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsclockserver sets the first obtainable
address as the active NTP server. The rest are stored as backup servers that can take over if the
active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP
server every 64 seconds.
Setting the date
Perform the following steps to set the date on the switch.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
The values are:
• mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
• dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
• MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
• yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as
1970 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069).
switch:admin> date
Fri Sep 29 17:01:48 UTC 2007
switch:admin> date "0927123007"
You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you
only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile
memory.
Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone.
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using timezone_fmt mode to
Central Standard time.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST.
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central.
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using interactive mode to
Pacific Standard Time.
1. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
2. You are prompted to select a general location.
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit.
4. At the prompt, select a country location.
5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or Ctrl-D to quit.
Synchronizing local time using NTP
Perform the following steps to synchronize the local time using NTP.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsClockServer command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be
able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand
“<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the
principal or primary switch as the clock server.
To power the Brocade 5100 on, connect one or both power cords to the power connectors on the
power supplies and to a power source; then, set the AC power switches to “I”. Power is supplied to
the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on.
3
The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on; it can take up to several minutes to
boot and complete POST.
To power the Brocade 5100 off, power off both power supplies by setting each AC power switch to
“O”. All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.
LED activity interpretation
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There
are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The lights are green or
amber.
Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
Brocade 5100 LEDs
The Brocade 5100 has the following LEDs:
• One system status LED (above) on the left side
• One power status LED (below) on the left side
• 40 port status LEDs, one for each Fibre Channel port, located above the ports
• One power supply status LED on each power supply FRU, to the left of the ON/OFF rocker
Figure 4 shows the locations of the port side LEDs on the Brocade 5100.

POST and boot specifications
When the switch is turned on or rebooted, the switch performs POST. Total boot time with POST can
be several minutes. POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by using the fastboot command
or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable POST.
For more information about these commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
POST
The success or failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored
through the error log or the command line interface.
POST includes the following tasks:
1. Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics.
2. Initializes the operating system.
3. Initializes hardware.
20Brocade 5100 Hardware Reference Manual
53-1000854-02
Page 33
4. Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory,
statistics counters, and serialization.
Boot
In addition to POST, boot includes the following tasks after POST is complete:
1. Performs universal port configuration.
2. Initializes links.
3. Analyzes fabric. If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric
configuration.
4. Obtains a domain ID and assigning port addresses.
5. Constructs unicast routing tables.
6. Enables normal port operation.
Interpreting POST results
Interpreting POST results
3
POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset.
During POST, the LEDs flash either amber or green. Any errors that occur during POST are listed in
the error log.
Complete the following steps to determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any
errors were detected:
1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy.
See Tab le 1 for descriptions and interpretations of LED patterns. If one or more LEDs do not
display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs on the switch are not set to “beacon” by entering
the switchShow command to detect if beaconing is active.
2. Verify that the switch prompt displays on the terminal of a computer workstation connected to
the switch.
If there is no switch prompt when POST completes, press Enter. If the switch prompt still does
not display, try opening a Telnet session or accessing the switch through another management
tool. If this is not successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST. Contact your
switch supplier for repair.
3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to the
system log, accessible through the errShow command.
For information about all referenced commands, and on accessing the error log, refer to Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide. For information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message
Reference Manual.
Maintaining the Brocade 5100
The Brocade 5100 does not require any regular physical maintenance and is designed for high
availability and to minimize the chance of failure. It includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable
units, described in the following sections.
The Brocade 5100 only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP, the
switchShow command output shows the port in a Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in
the system error log.
Complete the following steps to install an SFP.
1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the SFP in the
2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.
NOTE
Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to
insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert
an SFP into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.
FIGURE 6Installing an SFP in the upper row of port slot
correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 6.
Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, the Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware
and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the
transceivers and cables in use.
22Brocade 5100 Hardware Reference Manual
53-1000854-02
Page 35
Maintaining the Brocade 5100
The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a terminal set
up for a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external
cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable.
Some tests require loopback plugs.
Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps depending on the speed of the link
being tested.
NOTE
Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during
diagnostic testing.
For information about specific diagnostic tests, refer to the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and
Diagnostics Guide.

Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)
The power supplies have the fans inside and can be replaced onsite without the use of special
tools. The power supply/fan assembly units are keyed to ensure correct orientation during
installation. Replacement instructions are provided with all replacement units ordered.
Power supply/fan assembly FRU replacement
The Brocade 5100 fans are fixed inside the integrated power supply/fan FRU to provide necessary
airflow to cool the whole system. There is one fan located in the rear section of each FRU. The
system software sets fan speed and measures their speeds through the tachometer interface.
The two power supply/fan assembly FRU units are hot-swappable if replaced one at a time. They
are identical and fit into either slot.
Fabric OS identifies the power supplies as follows (viewing the switch from the port side):
• Power supply #1 is on the left
• Power supply #2 is on the right
Determining power supply/fan replacement need
1. Use one of the following methods to determine whether a power supply requires replacement:
• Check the power supply status LED next to the I/O switch. If the power supply status LED
is not on, verify that the power supply is on and seated and the power cord is connected to
a functioning power source. If the light does not turn green, the power supply needs to be
replaced.
• In Web Tools, click the Power Status icon.
• Typ e t h e psShow command at the command prompt to display power supply status as
2. Use one of the following methods to determine whether a fan requires replacement:
For further information on replacing the power/fan units, see the Brocade 5100 Power Supply and Fan Assembly Replacement Procedure.
• Check the system status LED (see Figure 4 on page 18 for location of system status LED).
If the system status LED is flashing amber and green, it could mean the fan has failed. The
green power supply/fan LED will also flash in the event of failure. Check the management
interface and the error log for details on the cause of status.
• In Advanced Web Tools, check the Fan Status icon background color. It will be either yellow
or red if the fan has failed. When the fan is functioning correctly, the background color is
green.
• Typ e t h e fanShow command at the command prompt to display fan status as shown
below:
switch:admin> fanshow
Fan 1 is OK, speed is 7105 RPM
Fan 2 is OK, speed is 7258 RPM
Managing the Brocade 5100
You can use the management functions built into the Brocade 5100 to monitor the fabric topology,
port status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze switch performance and to
accelerate system debugging.
The Brocade 5100 automatically performs power-on-self-test (POST) each time it is turned on. Any
errors are recorded in the error log. For more information about POST, see “POST and boot

Fibre Channel port specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the Brocade 5100 are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP
transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see
“Regulatory compliance” on page 32.
The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps and are able to autonegotiate to the higher
speed.
The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The Brocade 5100 uses an RJ-45 connector
for the serial port.
NOTE
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP address before
connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600
baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.
This connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the switch to its factory
default settings if Flash memory contents are lost. The serial port is not intended for performance
of normal administration or maintenance functions. You should only use this port to connect a
terminal to the port to re-initialize the switch defaults, restoring the switch to its factory
configuration. This is required to restore switch passwords to a known state and allow you to assign
an IP address to the switch.
