4. FORCE D Basic Layer 2 Setup and Buffer Tuning of the S25P for Storage Environments Introduction This document is intended for the users of S Series S25P switches running FTOS 7 8 1 0 and configured for use in a storage environment This document describes Using the console port to enable all ports on the switch for Layer 2 switching Verifying that the installed FTOS software is FTOS 7 8 1 0 Setting up passwords for managing the switch For details on management see the Management chapter in the FTOS Configuration Guide for the S Series and the Control and Monitoring chapter in the FTOS Command Reference for the S Series Optimizing the buffer for use in pure storage environments This document does not cover e Installing optional modules For installation details see the document Jnstalling S25P Systems For a configuration example see Figure 7 on page 6 here Adding the switch to an S Series stack For stacking configuration details see the Stacking chapters in the Configuration Guide and the Command Reference listed above Layer 3 IP addressing configuration For details see the Interfaces and IP Addressing chapters in the Configuration Guide and Interface Commands chapter in the Command Reference listed above The full S Series documentation set is available on the Technical Documentation CD ROM and from the Documentation tab of iSupport at the Force10 Networks website https www force1 Onetworks com CS Portal20 Kno
