3. Use the timeout command to determine the current value.
DEV2-ST01-B300:admin> timeout
Current IDLE Timeout is 5 minutes
DEV2-ST01-B300:admin>
4. Use the timeout command to set the timeout value to 0 minutes. This prevents your session
from closing when you are idle:
# timeout 0
DEV2-ST01-B300:admin> timeout 0
IDLE Timeout Changed to 0 minutes
The modified IDLE Timeout will be in effect after NEXT login

5. The new timeout value does not get applied to the current session, you need to log in again using
the login command to have the new timeout value apply.

26. Use the tstimezone command to set the time zone of your B300 to the Eastern time zone in
the United States (GMT -5) and verify same.
# tstimezone -5
System Time Zone change will take effect at next reboot.
# tstimezone
Time Zone Hour Offset: -5
Time Zone Minute Offset: 0
Note
If the tstimezone command does not work, use the tstimezone --old 0 command
and then use the tstimezone -5 command. This may require a reboot.
27. Type the date command on each switch to verify that the date on the B300 is 5 hours earlier
than the date on B5100.
If the dates do not differ by 2 hours then type fastboot on the B300, log in and check the dates
again.
28. From the B300, type the following command to restore the configuration back to default:
# tstimezone -7
System Time Zone change will take effect at next reboot.

49. Determine the IP address of your RSL host server:
a. Click Start > Run
b. Type cmd and press ENTER.
c. From the command window run ipconfig and note the IP address:
____________________________________________________________________
Note
On the switch run command: syslogdipshow and verify the IP address is set correctly.
Verify that the Network Advisor services are not running.
54. Leave this configuration active through the remainder of this lab in order to observe the log
message that are created.
Check Point: You have configured and verified basic settings on the switches in your fabric. Some of
these steps are not required for essential switch operation; however these basic steps will make SAN
administration easier and more consistent as your fabric grows.

13.The marginal ports are 25% and down ports are 10%.
14. A setting of 0 indicates that Fabric OS will not monitor this component. For example having a setting of 0 for
MissingSFPs indicates that the switch will not complain if you remove SFPs. If you wish to have the switch
track this condition or others, use the switchstatuspolicyset command. Since output is user-configurable
it could vary.

You can Save the configuration file over again and Network Advisor will keep it. Previously
saved configuration files are not overwritten because the date stamp on the configuration
file includes hh:mm:ss.
If you do perform multiple configuration Saves, you will have more than one file as an option
to restore when you perform a restore later in this exercise.

This lab refers to R#-ST#-B6510-LS1 and R#-ST#-B6510-LS2. If you refer to the lab diagram, notice
that there is an even numbered station associated with an odd numbered station.
If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS1, determine the number (#) for your RSL and
determine whether you have an odd or even station number. Then one of the following
applies:
Odd numbered stations: If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 then ST# is the
even numbered pair (i.e. R13-ST02-B6510-LS2)
Even numbered stations: If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 then ST# is the
odd numbered pair (i.e. R13-ST01-B6510-LS2)
RSL stations are divided into the following pairs:
01 and 02
03 and 04
05 and 06
07 and 08
Table 1 lists the station number, associated username and password, and the stations you can log

A deskew of 15 deskew units is used as the baseline for the ISL with the least latency. What
deskew value could cause additional latency?

5. Each end of the link must have a trunking license, common speed and ports must originate and end in an
ASIC port group and portcfgtrunkport must be enabled.
6. The aggregate bandwidth (bw) should be 16G.
7. These are the Master ISLs in each trunk group.
8. The greatest deskew difference in the example shown is 0.
9. A deskew of 30 or more could cause additional latency.

CHECK POINT
You established that there are two 16 Gbps per port ISL trunks between the two B6510_St01 and St02
switches in your fabric.
15. Verify that port 6 is the trunk master. If it is not, issue the following commands:
portdisable 6
portdisable 7
portenable 6
portenable 7
Logon as requested.

Helpful Hint
The Network Advisor SAN tab has a Connectivity Toolbar located in the right pane of the SAN
tab which displays the trunk groups between the switches. You can mouse over a link which
is bolded when selected, right-click the link and select Properties to view the connection
properties.
21. Verify that the Trunk Master port in one of the Trunk Groups is port 6. This is used later.
Use the following steps to change the trunking configuration on the R#-ST#-B6510-LS1 using
Brocade Network Advisor:

25. Before completing the exercise port 7 should be set back to the default speed of 16 Gbps.
CHECK POINT
You created two trunk groups from one by changing the speed of 1 ISL in the trunk group. This created
two trunk groups with different speeds in the same ASIC port group. You used the trunkdebug command to analyze the message associated with why two trunks formed.
28. Type trunkshow and switchshow on both R#-ST#-B6510-LS1 and R#-ST#B6510-LS2 and to
verify that there is only one trunk group with no long distance parameters.

This lab refers to R#-ST#-B6510-LS1 and R#-ST#-B6510-LS2. If you refer to the lab diagram, notice
that there is an even numbered station associated with an odd numbered station.
If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS1, determine the number (#) for your RSL and
determine whether you have an odd or even station number. Then one of the following
applies:
Odd numbered stations: If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 then ST# is the
even numbered pair (i.e. R13-ST02-B6510-LS2)
Even numbered stations: If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 then ST# is the
odd numbered pair (i.e. R13-ST01-B6510-LS2)
RSL stations are divided into the following pairs:
01 and 02
03 and 04
05 and 06
07 and 08
Table 2 lists the station number, associated username and password, and the stations you can log

Type the licenseshow command and verify that both license keys are installed.
Verify that Trunking and Extended Fabric licenses are installed on your both of these switches.
Contact the instructor if either of these licenses are missing from either switch.
3.
The first step is to verify that both switches are configured with default distance settings.

Warning: port (7) may be reserving more credits depending on port
speed.
22. On R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 using port 24 and 25, type the following command to complete the long
distance trunk group at the other end of the link:

This lab refers to R#-ST#-B6510-LS1 and R#-ST#-B6510-LS2. If you refer to the lab diagram, notice
that there is an even numbered station associated with an odd numbered station.
If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS1, determine the number (#) for your RSL and
determine whether you have an odd or even station number. Then one of the following applies:
Odd numbered stations: If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 then ST# is the
even numbered pair (i.e. R13-ST02-B6510-LS2)
Even numbered stations: If you are asked to log into R#-ST#-B6510-LS2 then ST# is the
odd numbered pair (i.e. R13-ST01-B6510-LS2)
RSL stations are divided into the following pairs:

Because one of ISLs went offline for the D_Port test the connectivity map may display an
issue with the ISL connections between the two switches. See example screen shot below.
This issue will be resolved as the port will revert back from a D_Port to an E_Port.

Lab Setup
This section covers the requirements for you to setup your own lab environment. In order for the labs
to work you will need to set up for an odd station and an even station; each odd and even station
makes one paired station.
NOTE
If you do not have access to an environment that matches what is described below, you will not be able to
complete all of the labs. Command line interface output is provided as well as screen captures of applications
like Brocade Network Advisor. You can use this lab guide as a reference and if you have access to compatible
lab environment, for performing the tasks listed in this lab guide.
