problem in set up Summit X650 24 port

[elili]

Dear Members;
I need help in setting up my system with following information.
I have 24 port X650 Summit switch and also a Windows Server 2008 machine with Qlogic 2562 dual port fiber channel card attached to port 1 and port 4 of the switch. Also on port 2 and port 3 of the switch my NAS server with another Qlogic 2562 has been attached to.
I have tested the point to point connection between my NAS server and the host without any problem. But through the fabric architecture I can see that the connection has not been set up and the loop is down.
I have created two VLANS with following details:

* X650-24x(SSns).96 # show vlan "opene"
VLAN Interface with name opene created by user
Admin State: Enabled Tagging: 802.1Q Tag 2020
Virtual router: VR-Default
Primary IP : 192.168.20.1/24
IPv6: None
STPD: None
Protocol: Match all unfiltered protocols
Loopback: Disabled
NetLogin: Disabled
QosProfile: None configured
Egress Rate Limit Designated Port: None configured
Flood Rate Limit QosProfile: None configured
Ports: 2. (Number of active ports=0)
Tag: 2, 3
Flags: (*) Active, (!) Disabled, (g) Load Sharing port
(b) Port blocked on the vlan, (m) Mac-Based port
(a) Egress traffic allowed for NetLogin
(u) Egress traffic unallowed for NetLogin
(t) Translate VLAN tag for Private-VLAN
(s) Private-VLAN System Port, (L) Loopback port
(e) Private-VLAN End Point Port

* X650-24x(SSns).97 # show vlan "winserv"
VLAN Interface with name winserv created by user
Admin State: Enabled Tagging: 802.1Q Tag 2121
Virtual router: VR-Default
Primary IP : 192.168.21.1/24
IPv6: None
STPD: None
Protocol: Match all unfiltered protocols
Loopback: Disabled
NetLogin: Disabled
QosProfile: None configured
Egress Rate Limit Designated Port: None configured
Flood Rate Limit QosProfile: None configured
Ports: 2. (Number of active ports=0)
Tag: 1, 4
Flags: (*) Active, (!) Disabled, (g) Load Sharing port
(b) Port blocked on the vlan, (m) Mac-Based port
(a) Egress traffic allowed for NetLogin
(u) Egress traffic unallowed for NetLogin
(t) Translate VLAN tag for Private-VLAN
(s) Private-VLAN System Port, (L) Loopback port
(e) Private-VLAN End Point Port

* X650-24x(SSns).98 #
I have enable ipforwarding between the VLANs, I was wondering what I have missed as part of the set up or configuration that the connection has not been established and there is no active port on any VLANs.
Kind Regards
Eli

Hi eli,

Qlogic 2562 is Fibre Channel adapter for a storage network. It can connect servers, storages and special Fibre Channel switches.

You connect Fibre Channel ports on server/storage and Ethernet ports on X650. It will not work. You have to use a Fibre Channel switch.

Kind regards,
Hh

Thanks HHfr. You are right, it has been sorted out.
