Applies to

  • SANnav v2.3.0
  • Fabric OS (FOS) v9.2.1

Issue

  • SANnav loses connection to switch that was updated from FOS v9.2.0 to FOS v9.2.1
  • Attempts to rediscover the switch's fabric fail with Discovery Failed. Seed switch IP address is either not reachable or having problem in connecting via HTTPS:

  • Server to Switch Communication preference is "First HTTPS and then HTTP" as per <SANnav installation directory>/conf/server.properties:
# Server to Switch Communication preference
# 0 --> HTTP Only
# 1 --> HTTPS Only
# 2 --> First HTTPS and then HTTP
dcm.server.switch.comm.preference=2
  • Switch permits traffic over HTTP/HTTPS ports 80/443:
switch:admin> ipfilter --show
 
Name: default_ipv4, Type: ipv4, State: active
Rule  Source IP      Protocol   Dest Port    Action
[...]
3     any            tcp         80          permit
4     any            tcp        443          permit
[...]
  • Switch Web Tools is reachable from the same subnet as the SANnav Management Portal
  • SANnav can reach the switch over HTTP from the CLI:
# curl http://<switch IP address>/secinfo.html -u admin:<password>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
