storageWorks core 2/64 switch

[waknine_2]

hi
i have a core 2/64 switch with two 16 port cards on 1 and 2 slot and two 16 ports cards on 9 and 10 slot .
I would like to configure this switch like a 64 ports switch . I think by default there's 2 , 32 ports switch . Is there a way to configure this switch like a 64 port switch without move two cards from 9 and 10 slots to 3 and 4 slots

Any help will be appreciate .

Hi,

The 2/64 or Silkworm 12000 contains 2 logical switches within the one chassis, so you will have to move the cards to 1 side if you only want to manage only 1 switch.

To my mind it would be better to leave the switch as it is, you can have both sides of the switch in the same fabric and from a management point of view it is very little extra work.

thank you
but if i leave the two sides of the switch
how can i configure the two siwtches in the same fabric ?

You can use a cable to connect one port on the left side to a port on the right side. This will create 2 e-ports and an isl between the two "logical" switches.

same thing if you connect tour two logical switches to a third one. the 3 will be in the same fabric.
