default IP Address to communicate through its Ethernet port. This requires
connection of a Crossover Ethernet cable directly to the faulty Switch chassis
and use of the default IP Address to connect to it. When you create a one-
chassis fabric to communicate with this Switch, designate an IP Address of
10.0.0.1. SANsurfer must already be launched in order to communicate
with a chassis in PROM mode. When SANsurfer connects to this Switch, it
will find that it is in PROM Mode and display the PROM Icon. When a
Switch is in PROM mode, there is a very limited number of things that can be
done to it. New control code can be loaded into Flash memory or give the
Switch a new IP Address.
IP Address Field
The IP Address field contains the IP Address of one Fabric Management Switch.
Enter an IP Address by placing the cursor in the empty IP Address field and
typing. To change an IP address requires deletion of the defined fabric and creation
of the new one. Press Apply to save the changes.
Fabric Name
The Fabric Name is taken from the SNMP Name field of the Network Configura-
tion window. Edit an existing name by double clicking in the Name Field and being
taken to the Network Configuration window. Change the name as desired from
there. Press Apply to save the changes before returning to this window.
Type, Mode, and Rate Fields
Use these three fields to set up the recording of Data Rate and Error counters.
Following the setup of these fields, use the Statistics recording button or
Special>Start/Stop Recording to start and stop recording.
Type Field
Enable the type of counters you want to record for the selected fabric. Click
the Type field to step through the choices. The choices are:
OFF — Do not enable any counters and clear the Mode field.

All — Record all statistics individually.
Mode Field
Enable the application to create one or more spreadsheets. The application
names the spreadsheets based on the Fabric, Switch chassis, or port. Click the
Mode field to step through the choices. The choices are:
Fabric — Sum statistics from all ports and modules in the fabric into one
total.
