The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:

switch:admin>

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.

Brocade Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking

Brocade ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between

adjacent switches. Up to eight FC ports on the Brocade 6510 can be used as a trunking group to

achieve speeds up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load

balancing. For more information about Brocade ISL Trunking, see the Fabric OS Administrator's

Guide.

Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes

The Brocade 6510 can function in either Fabric OS Native mode or Brocade Access Gateway mode.

The switch is shipped in Fabric OS Native mode by default.

• You can enable Access Gateway mode using Fabric OS commands or Web Tools.

• All additional POD licenses must be installed before you can enable Access Gateway mode.

• When you enable Access Gateway, you can use the default F_Port-to-N_Port mappings or change

this mapping using command line interface (CLI) or Web Tools, after you configure an IP address

using instructions under Switch IP Address in Chapter 2.

• Access Gateway simplifies SAN deployment by using NPIV. NPIV provides Fibre Channel switch

functions that improve switch scalability, manageability, and interoperability. For more information

on Access Gateway, refer to the following:

‐ For a list of F_Ports mapped to N_Ports by default, refer to Access Gateway default port

mapping on page 27.

‐ For general information and details on using Access Gateway, refer to the Brocade Access

Gateway Administrator’s Guide.

‐ For specific instructions to prepare the edge fabric before connecting it to Access Gateway

(since Access Gateway relies on NPIV technology for its connection to the edge fabric),

refer to the SAN TECH NOTE - Preparing to Install the Brocade Access Gateway) .

NOTE

Access Gateway cannot be connected directly into an array; it requires a fabric to support NPIV.

• Fabric OS features available to the Brocade 6510 depend on whether the switch is configured in

Access Gateway or Fabric OS Native mode. For a list of available features for each mode, refer to

the Brocade Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide.

• In Access Gateway mode, cascading is not available for the Brocade 6510. Refer to the latest

Brocade Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide for details on any other restrictions specific to the

Brocade 6510.
