Connect the Management Workstation to the Router
You can manage the router using the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager or the
command line interface (CLI). SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager requires an
Ethernet connection to the router. CLI can use an Ethernet connection or a serial
connection. Choose the router management method, then connect the
management workstation to the router in one of the following ways:
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ-45 connector through an Ethernet switch or hub. This requires a 10/100
Base-T straight cable.
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T crossover cable.
Serial port connection from the management workstation to the router
RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable
and a dongle.
Configure the Management Workstation
The router comes from the factory with a default IP address (10.0.0.1). Prior to
product installation, follow the procedures based on your configuration method:
If you plan to configure the router through the management Ethernet port
(using the SANsurfer Router Manager or CLI via telnet), you must initially
configure the workstation as described in Setting the Workstation IP Address
on page 4-6.
If you plan to configure the router using the management COM port,
configure the workstation as described in Configuring the Workstation Serial
Port on page 4-6.
NOTE:
The transceiver fits only one way. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
