Setup guide

Using the QLogic Support Web Site to confirm how many ports a FC switch
should be licensed to have enabled
Selecting “View Port Count” in Step 3 of the above process will take you to a tool
that allows you to determine the number of ports a particular FC switch unit is
licensed to run:
To activate a switch license using SANsurfer Switch Manager
1. Connect the switch to a power source using the power cords. The switch powers
on automatically.
Note: You only need to connect one power supply if you are just doing the license
activation and plan on powering the switch off when finished.
2. Connect the switch’s Ethernet management port to an Ethernet port on a local
workstation that is configured with a static IP address.
3. Install the SANsurfer Switch Manager software included with the switch following
the on-screen instructions.
4. After the software is loaded, click the Start Menu button and click > “Programs” >
“SANsurfer_SwitchMgr” and select “SANsurfer_SwitchMgr”.
5. When the application starts, select Open an Existing Fabric and click Proceed.
6. Enter the following:
- You can leave the Fabric Name blank
- The IP address of 192.168.1.129 (this is the default IP address depending on
whether or not you have changed your switch IP address).
- At the login: type admin
- At the password: type password (all lower case)
7. Click “Add Fabric”.
8. A “non-secure connection” window opens, click “OK”.
