Page 55: Creating An Ethernet Connection
Creating an Ethernet connection Use these steps to create an Ethernet connection. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation as shown in Figure NOTE: Figure 19 shows the SAN Switch 2/16V. This procedure is the same for all SAN Switches.
Page 56: Modifying The Fibre Channel Domain Id (Optional)
Modifying the Fibre Channel domain ID (Optional) If desired, you can modify the Fibre Channel domain ID. The default Fibre channel domain ID is domain 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default Fibre channel domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value.
Page 57: Installing The Sfp Transceivers
Installing the SFP transceivers The SAN Switch does not ship with SFPs. A list of supported SFPs can be found in ”SAN Switch optional kits” on page 28. Use the following procedure to install the SFP transceivers into the Fibre Channel ports. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements.
Page 58: Verifying The Configuration
Verifying the configuration Use these steps to confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use. Check LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, refer to ”Interpreting LED activity” on page 64. Enter the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the switch and port status.

Page 63: Management Features
Management features SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check port status, and debug the switch. Table 10 lists the management applications available. NOTE: When running IP over Fibre Channel, these management tools must be supported by both HBA and HBA drivers.
Page 64: Managing San Switches From A Single Management Station
Managing SAN Switches from a single management station A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manage other switches connected to the first switch via Fibre Channel. To do so, set the fibre channel gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed, to the Fibre Channel IP address of the first switch.
