Chapter 3. Implementing the INRANGE FC/9000 Fibre Channel Director 183
3.2.3 Initial setup of INRANGE FC/9000 IP settings
The INRANGE Director is delivered with the current supported level of firmware
and a default TCP/IP setting of 10.1.1.51 and 10.1.1.52, and a Subnet mask
setting of 255.255.255.0. There is also a default chassis ID, switch ID and fabric
ID. Without doing any kind of cascading, there is no need to change these IDs.
It is the responsibility of an IBM Customer Engineer (CE) to reset all default
addresses to reflect the environment in which it is being installed.
For added security, the TCP/IP address can only be set or reset by the CE, using
an RS232 connection and entering the CE userid and password. The new
TCP/IP address will be displayed in an LED panel that can be located on the
FCM module.
The PC that will be used for the IN-VSN server needs to be connected to the
FCM modules using the Ethernet ports.
You should also ascertain whether the applicable microcode level is installed or
needs to be installed. The same is true for the IN-VSN management software:
򐂰 The director microcode level that we will be using is: 02.00.
򐂰 The IN-VSN management tool release is: 2.0.0 (Build RC6).
Since these codes are subject to change as new functions are added and
improvements made, ask your IBM or INRANGE Technical contact what the
current supported levels are.
3.2.4 Establishing network connection
As mentioned above, the INRANGE director and its management PC are
delivered with pre-installed IP settings. They are efficient enough to set up a
small private network with just directors and the management PC as members.
You can leave the initial IP setup as it was delivered for use as, or like, a private
network. Consequently only local users can attach to the directors and its
IN-VSN management tool.
Or you can adopt your corporate network settings to enable remote IN-VSN
access.
