Configure the Chassis
If this chassis is part of a multi-chassis fabric, follow the instructions in
“Chassis Configuration” on page 5-24.
If this is a single chassis switch, the only configuration necessary is the
Ethernet port. To configure the chassis, do the following.
1. Physically connect a management station to the ethernet port of the chassis
through which the fabric will be managed.
Follow the ethernet cabling instructions in the Switch Management manual
to install the Switch temporarily on an isolated Ethernet network with the
subnet address 10.x.x.x (By default, the Switch’s IP address is 10.0.0.1.). Use
a crossover cable to connect the management station to the switch chassis.
This network does not need to contain anything more than the switch and a
single management host to configure the switch. You may then use the
SANsurfer Switch management application to configure the switch chassis’
ethernet port.
2. Configure the ethernet port of the switch chassis. Refer to the Switch
Management manual for information about configuring the ethernet port.
You must reset the switch chassis to cause it to use its new IP address. Reset
the switch chassis by cycling its power or using the SANsurfer Switch
management application.
3. Following the reset operation you may move the ethernet connection to the
switch chassis from its temporary isolated network to its normal ethernet
network.
If you are configuring a single chassis switch, the chassis configuration is
complete.
