HP L10, Intrusion Prevention System S10 manual Parameter, Parent Hub, Child Hub if any

Overview

This chapter describes how to use the RS-232 port to update firmware, enable hub management, run diagnostic tests, and view hub information. The RS-232 port is located on the front panel of the hub (see Figure 1 on page 14 or Figure 2 on page 15).

To configure the hub for Fibre Channel Manager or another management application, use the hub’s configuration menus to set SNMP values and the IP address.

If you do not plan to manage the hub with Fibre Channel Manager or another management application, you do not have to update the firmware or enable hub management. You do not have to update hub firmware to run diagnostic tests or view hub information.

Before beginning the procedures in this chapter, determine the configuration values that are required for the hub. Obtain IP addresses from the network administrator for the LAN to which the parent hub is connected. IP addresses are optional for the child hub. Values can be written in the spaces of the following worksheet.
