Multiple Routers

By connecting two routers between your Fibre Channel SAN and iSCSI SAN, you can eliminate the router as a single point of failure.

Management

The SANsurfer Router Manager application and CLI run on a management workstation used to configure, control, and maintain the router. Support platforms include Windows, Solaris, and Linux. The SANsurfer Router Manager application is installed and executed on the workstation.

The router supports the following management interfaces:

„SANsurfer Router Manager – Graphical user interface application, which runs on a management workstation (see Section 7).

„CLI – Command line interface, which runs on the router; users can access the CLI via telnet or the serial port (see Appendix A).

„SNMP – Provides router status, traps, and alerts (see Appendix D).
