Configure the Chassis

Conﬁgure the Chassis

If this chassis is part of a Multi-Chassis fabric, follow the instructions in “Chassis Conﬁguration” on page 5-18.

If this is a single chassis switch, the only conﬁguration necessary is the Ethernet port. To conﬁgure the chassis, do the following:

1.Physically connect a management station to the ethernet port of the chassis through which the fabric will be managed.

Follow the ethernet cabling instructions in the Switch Management manual to install the Switch temporarily on an isolated Ethernet network with the subnet address 10.x.x.x (By default, the Switch’s IP address is 10.0.0.1.). Use a crossover cable to connect the management station to the switch chassis. This network does not need to contain anything more than the switch and a single management host to conﬁgure the switch. You may then use the SANsurfer Switch management application to conﬁgure the switch chassis’ ethernet port.

2.Conﬁgure the ethernet port of the switch chassis. Refer to the Switch Management manual for information about conﬁguring the ethernet port.

You must reset the switch chassis to cause it to use its new IP address. Reset the switch chassis by cycling its power or using the SANsurfer Switch management application.

3.Following the reset operation, you may move the ethernet connection to the switch chassis from its temporary isolated network to its normal ethernet network.

If you are conﬁguring a single chassis switch, the chassis conﬁguration is complete.
