2. Highlight a discovered CEE switch from the Available Switches table, and click the right arrow
button to move the switch to the Selected Switches Table.
3. Highlight the selected switch and click OK to start the configuration.
The running configuration is saved to the selected switch, effective on the next system startup.
If you restore the CEE switch using the Restore Switch Configuration dialog box, you are
prompted to select one of two restoration methods:
• As the running configuration and reboot
ATTENTION
Rebooting a switch connected to a fabric will stop all traffic to and from the switch. All ports on
the switch will become inactive until the switch comes back online.
• As the startup configuration (no reboot)
For instructions on how to restore a saved switch configuration, refer to “Restoring a switch
configuration for a selected device” on page 185.
CEE configuration
The Brocade CEE switch has 8 8-Gbps FC ports and 24 10 Gbps Ethernet CEE ports. You must
configure CEE interfaces and ports differently than you configure FC ports, in order to effectively
use the converged network features.
For example, Priority-based flow control (PFC) and Enhanced transmission selection (ETS) are the
two QoS policy enhancements you must configure to create a lossless Ethernet. You then use DCBX
protocol on CEE-enabled devices to exchange configuration information.
The CEE/FC switch module for the IBM Blade Center has 8 8-Gbps FC ports and 22/20 10 Gbps
Ethernet CEE ports. The CEE ports are categorized into two types:
• External ports - the eight external ports are the same as the original 10 Gbps Ethernet CEE
ports. The default name in the device tree is ExT<slot>/<port>.
• Internal ports - The default name for the 12 or 14 internal ports is InT <slot>/<port>. 802.1x,
LAG configuration, and spanning tree protocol (STP) are not supported on internal ports.
Switch, CEE port, and link aggregation group (LAG) policies are discussed later in this chapter.
