Enabling Hub Management

Use the hub RS-232 management menus to enable the hub to be managed by Fibre Channel Manager. To enable hub management:

•Set hub IP address and network configuration options.

•Set SNMP values.

•Configure cascaded hubs (if you plan to manage hubs in a cascaded configuration).

Setting Hub IP Address and Network Configuration Options

Use this procedure to set the following parameters on the hub.

•Hub IP address

•Subnetworking mask

•Default gateway address

If you have hubs in a cascaded configuration, only perform this procedure for the parent hub. The parent hub should be the hub that has the LAN (ethernet) connection. Refer to the values you entered in Table 1 on page 42 as you set the above parameters.

To set hub IP address and network configuration options:

1.Set up an RS-232 connection between the parent hub and a PC or dumb terminal (see Setting Up a Connection to a PC on page 45 or Setting Up a Connection to a Dumb Terminal on page 46).
