When running IP over FC, these management tools must be run on both the Fibre Channel host and the switch and must be supported by the Fibre Channel host driver. For a list of Fibre Channel hosts supported by the 4Gb SAN Switch, contact your HP representative.

You can connect a management station to one switch via Ethernet while managing other switches connected to the first switch via FC. To do so, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed to the FC IP address of the first switch.
The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the subnet on which the first switch resides. See Table 9.
