Configure the Workstation
If you plan to use the command line interface to configure and manage the switch,
you must configure the workstation. This involves setting the workstation IP
address for Ethernet connections, or configuring the workstation serial port. If you
plan to use SANsurfer Switch Manager to manage the switch, the Configuration
Wizard manages the workstation IP address for you – proceed to ”Install
SANsurfer Switch Manager” on page 4-8.

For a Linux or Solaris workstation, open a command window and enter the
following command where (interface) is your interface name:
iconfig (interface) ipaddress 10.0.0.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
4.2.4.2
Configuring the Workstation Serial Port

1. Connect a null modem F/F DB9 cable from a COM port on the management
workstation to the RS-232 serial port on the switch.
2. Configure the workstation serial port according to your platform:
For Windows:

Choose the Start button, select Programs, Accessories,
HyperTerminal, and HyperTerminal.
b. Enter a name for the switch connection and choose an icon in the
Connection Description window. Choose the OK button.
