You will lose the connectivity of the telnet session at this time. If you want to continue using the CLI, restart the telnet session with the IP address you just assigned to the management port.

You now have the management port configured with the appropriate IP address. Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network. Connect cables to GE1, GE2, FC 1, and FC 2 cables as shown in the configuration diagrams (figure 1/figure 2).

Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard

1.Invoke the SANsurfer® Router manager previously installed on the computer that will be used to manage the SANbox 6142. You should see a display as shown in the following figures.

2.Select the “Connect” button on the top left corner.

3.Enter the IP address of the SANbox 6142 you want to configure.

4.If you select “yes” to start the configuration wizard your display will change to:

5.Enter the Symbolic Name for this router

6.Select each iSCSI Port and follow the Wizard to enter IP addresses for the iSCSI Port, and optionally, the IP address of an iSNS Server.

7.When saving the changes, the default password is “config”.

Copy the FC WWPN (World Wide Port Names) for both FC Ports.You will need these names to present LUNS from your Storage subsystem.

FC 1 WWPN

FC 2 WWPN
