Brocade 5300 overview

The Brocade 5300 is an 80-port 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps Fibre Channel switch that delivers Brocade sixth generation ASIC technology and
architecture for Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). The Brocade 5300 is designed for the needs of enterprise environments
that require a high-port footprint for port aggregation.
With its high auto-sensing port count and ports-on-demand flexibility, the Brocade 5300 is an ideal solution as a fan-out switch from a
director core, or as the core switch in a fabric. The Brocade 5300 satisfies demanding Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS),
performance and scalability requirements of an enterprise switch while delivering interoperability and ease-of-use advantages found only
in the Brocade product family. The Brocade 5300 is the latest enterprise offering from the Brocade family of entry-to-enterprise
products, and offers the following features and capabilities:
• Up to 80 auto-sensing ports of high-performance 8 Gbps technology in a single domain.
• Ports On Demand scaling from 48 to 64 or 80 ports.
• Full 1:1 subscription on all 80 ports at 8 Gbps.
• 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
• FICON and FICON Control Unit Port ready.
• Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, which provides improved scalability and fault isolation, along with multi-vendor
interoperability through the optional Integrated Routing license.
• Two hot-swappable, redundant power supply FRUs.
• Three hot-swappable fan FRUs in an N+1 configuration to provide hardware-redundant cooling.
• Universal ports that self-configure as E, F, M or FL ports. Ex_Ports are activated on a per port basis with the optional Integrated
Routing license.
• An RJ45 Ethernet management port, in conjunction with EZSwitchSetup, that supports switch IP address discovery and
configuration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to configure the switch IP address and greatly increasing the ease of
use.
• USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of the supportSave command and storage for configuration
uploads and downloads.
• A system motherboard that features a Freescale MPC8548 Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) CPU running at 1.3 GHz
with integrated peripherals, and that provides high performance with low power consumption.
• Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps speeds) between a pair of
switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 64 Gbps (128 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth
utilization and load balancing.
• Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to
the most efficient available path in the fabric.

53-1000858-07 13
Port side of the Brocade 5300
• Rack-mount design using existing rail kits (fixed, sliding, and mid-mount/Telco rail kits) on a 19" EIA rack.
• Industry-leading extended distance support, which enables native Fibre Channel extension greater than 590 km (366 miles).
• Brocade Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
• Unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic type support.
• Brocade Fabric Operating System (FOS), which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide
range of value-added applications including Brocade Advanced Web Tools and Brocade Zoning. Optional Fabric Services
include: Adaptive Networking with QoS, Brocade Extended Fabrics, Brocade Enhanced Group Management, Brocade Fabric
Watch, ISL Trunking, Integrated Routing, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM).
• Port-to-port latency minimized to 2100 nanoseconds through the use of cut-through frame routing at 8 Gbps.
• Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
• The Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN configuration a three-step point-and-click task.

The port side of the Brocade 5300 includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet port and LEDs, USB port, and Fibre Channel
ports and the corresponding port status LEDs.

Brocade 5300 Management

You can use the management functions built into the Brocade 5300 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 5300 automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) each time it is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the system
error log. For more information about POST, see POST and boot specifications on page 69.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on your switch, see the Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide
You can manage the Brocade 5300 using any of the management options listed in the following table.

Ports on Demand license

The Brocade 5300 has 80 ports. By default, ports 0-47 are enabled. As your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports by
purchasing and installing the Brocade Ports on Demand (POD) optional licensed product. After it has been installed, the license appears
in the licenseShow command output as Ports on Demand license .
To install a Ports on Demand 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 Ports on Demand license, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
Brocade Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking

Brocade ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. Each eight port
group on the Brocade 5300 can be used as a trunking group. For more information about Brocade ISL Trunking, see the Brocade
Fabric OS Administration Guide.

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.
DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device
to connect it to the power source.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
• This switch might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both power cords before
servicing.
DANGER
Remove both power cords before servicing.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
• This product is designed for an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage of 230V. After operation of the protective device,
the equipment is still under voltage if it is connected to an IT power system.
DANGER
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.
• The power supply standards provided in Power supply specifications on page 82
RTC battery
Do not attempt to replace the real-time clock (RTC) battery. There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or disposed
of. Contact your switch supplier if the real-time clock begins to lose time.
DANGER
Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion if a battery
is replace by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components containing batteries according to the local ordinance and
regulations.
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.
CAUTION
Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit matches that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies
and fan trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange arrow with an "I."

20 53-1000858-07
Recommendations for cable management
• A maximum of 102 cubic meters/hour (60 cubic feet/minute) and a minimum of 74.8 cubic meters/hour (44 cubic feet/
minute) of air flow is available to the air intake vents on the non-port side of the switch.
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front, and back of the device is not
restricted.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 ° C (104 ° F) while the switch is operating.
CAUTION
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).
EIA rack considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch in an EIA rack, ensure the following requirements are met:
• The rack must be a standard EIA rack.
• Plan a rack space that is one rack unit (1U) high; 4.45 cm (1.75 inches) high and 48.3 cm (19 inches) wide.
• Ground all equipment in the rack 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 multi-rack assembly.
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack in any way.
• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake.
DANGER
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
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.
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the rack 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 easily overtightened and can damage the optic
fibers.
CAUTION
• 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.

53-1000858-07 21
Items included with the Brocade 5300
• 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.

Once you have set up the Brocade 5300 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 5300 in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration.
Go to the my.brocade.com website to download the EZSwitchSetup software and instructions. If you do not want to use EZSwitchSetup,
follow the instructions in the rest of this section.
Items required for initial setup

The following items are required for installing, configuring, and connecting the Brocade 5300 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)
Providing power to the switch

Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade 5300.
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.
NOTE
Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned
on.
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.
Creating a serial connection

You will perform all configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection.

53-1000858-07 59
Switch IP address
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:
Parameter Value
Bits per second 9600

Databits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
• 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 5300 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 5300 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Using DHCP to set the IP address

When using DHCP, the Brocade 5300 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 5300, use a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address

1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
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.

60 53-1000858-07
Date and time settings
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted.
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]

Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off

The Brocade 5300 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 5300 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 --old option, see the Brocade Fabric OS Command
Reference.
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.

53-1000858-07 61
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

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"
Thu Sep 27 12:30:00 UTC 2007
switch:admin>
Setting time zones

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.

62 53-1000858-07
2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive ]/ [, timezone_fmt]
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.
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.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
"10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all
switches in the fabric.

Powering the Brocade 5300 on and off

Complete the following steps to power the Brocade 5300 on.
1. Connect one or both power cords to the power connectors on the power supplies and to a power source
2. 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.
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 5300 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 5300 LEDs

The Brocade 5300 has the following LEDs:
• One system status LED (above) on the left side.
• One power status LED (below) on the left side.
• Two Ethernet Port LEDs
• One port status LED for each port on the switch. These LEDs are arrayed below each pair of Fibre Channel ports. The port
LEDs are located in the array in the same relative positions as the ports.
• One power supply LED above the AC power switch on each power supply on the non-port side of the switch
• One fan status LED at the bottom of each fan assembly on the non-port side of the switch

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 LED activity, 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.
4. Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization.

53-1000858-07 69
Interpreting POST results
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

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 the LED patterns section 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 .
Brocade 5300 Maintenance

The Brocade 5300 is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular physical maintenance. It includes
diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the following sections.
Installing an SFP
The Brocade 5300 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 correctly oriented position on the port, as

70 53-1000858-07
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 38 Installing an SFP in the upper row of port slot
Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, 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.
The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a console set up to the 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 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, see the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide .
