Hi, my name is Phil. I'm one of the Network Engineers here at Dell. In this video we will
cover how to connect your existing fibre channel switches to the MX9116n switches via SmartFabric.
To do this we will create two FC gateway uplinks. This uplink type enables NPG mode on the MX9116n.
The first uplink we're going to configure is for the connection between the fibre channel switch
and IOM-A1. We will assign IOM-A1 interfaces fibre channel 1/1/43:2, fibre channel 1/1/43:3
and we'll assign a tag network, use VLAN 30. The second uplink we're going to configure is for the
connection between the fibre channel switch and IOM-A2. We will assign IOM-A2 interfaces
fibre channel 1/1/43:2 and fibre channel 1/1/43:3, then we'll assign tag network VLAN 40.
In this video we are using OMEM version 1.30, we're using OS10 version 10.5.2.4.
Let's get started.
Within the OpenManage Enterprise Modular we're going to go to 'Devices', go to 'Fabric'.
Here we'll see an error, that's because there's no uplinks, so let's select that fabric, SmartFabric.
I'm going to add an uplink, let's go ahead and give it a name,
and we need to give an uplink type. which is 'FC Gateway', hit 'Next'.
Here under the IOM-A1 we need to select some interfaces,
we need to give it a tagged VLAN assigned to it, select VLAN 30, and 'Finish'.
And you'll notice the critical error goes away and it shows 'OK' now for the status.
Now we'll go ahead and add another uplink.
Let's give it a name,
uplink type which is 'FC Gateway', 'Next',
now we're going to go to the IOM-A2, we're going to select interfaces,
select a tagged VLAN, this is going to be 40, hit 'Finish'.
Here you can see both uplinks now,
and in an 'OK' status. Let's look at the topology so we can see a visual of it.
And here you can see the new uplinks that were created,
the FC gateway uplink A1 and FC gateway uplink A2.
Thanks for watching this video
