For reading bit more on this, you may read the previous post. As we already discussed, the 3 components (zones, aliases and zoneset) remains the core here also. The Brocade 16Gb FC Switch Module must be configured to ensure correct operation within a network and fabric. Now we will discuss the same on a Brocade switch via CLI.
Run the â passwddefaultâ command as follows:Īfter reboot, login to the switch using username â adminâ, password â passwordâ and set the new passwords for root, factory, admin and user accounts. We had discussed zoning in Cisco switch recently, in one of our posts. None on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=620)ġ2. Verify the mounted file systems by running the â mountâ command: Mount the second partition to /mnt (this will get from the value of â OSRootPartitionâ variable in â printenvâ output â usually it will be â hda2â, that is, /dev/hda2)ġ1. After the switch boot in single user mode, remount the / partition as read/write:ġ0. Note: The rest of the steps are same for all switches with Linux based FOS (ver 4.1 and above).ĩ. Run the command â bootâ ( on 4 Gb switches, run the command â autoâ ) Preboot=echo echo Type "run flash_nfs" to mount root filesystem over NFS echoĨ.

Run the â printenvâ command to check the environment variables (This step is optional).
Press ESC at the message â Hit ESC to stop autoboot: â, the Boot PROM menu displays with the following options:ĥ.
(Default serial console settings: Baud rate â 9600, Data bits â 8, Parity â none, Stop bits -1, Flow control â none).ģ. Connect the serial console to the SAN switch (or director). On 8Gb Brocade switches, if the Boot PROM password is not set(or it is set and known) and need to recover root password (in case it was set previously and forgotten), then follow the below procedure to set all the passwords to factory default (Factory defined user IDs: root, factory, admin and user, Default password: password):ġ.
