Initial Configuration of the Switch

Using the Array Configuration Utility-XE (ACU-XE) to Configure the Switch

When using the ACU-XE to initially configure the switch, depending on the controller’s settings and the current switch configuration, you will be shown various options. The ACU-XE will prompt for information through specific screens, allowing changes before they are saved.

In addition to accessing the ACU-XE, the switch configuration process is separated in to two parts:

•Initial switch configuration

•Advanced switch configuration

As discussed previously, initial switch configuration includes setting the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the switch (and the redundant switch, if installed). Until these Ethernet and SNMP parameters are entered, a Web Browser cannot find or connect to the switch.

Advanced switch configuration includes managing and monitoring ports, setting up zoning, and upgrading the switch firmware. Advanced configuration tasks are performed in using the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility. A link to this utility is provided in the ACU-XE.

NOTE: The switch configuration utility Web link to the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility is present only if the selected controller supports this feature.

NOTE: In the following screen examples, the configuring server’s IP address is 10.100.100.14. One switch has an IP address of 10.100.100.10 and the other switch’s IP address is 10.100.100.11.
