5 Managing switches This chapter provides the following procedures for viewing and managing your HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switches using Simple SAN Connection Manager: • "About transparent routing," page 49 • "Viewing switch properties," page 49 • "Viewing network properties," page 50 • "Viewing switch zoning information," page 51 • "Setting the switch default zoning," page 53 • "Setting the switch admin password," page 55 • "Setting the switch IP address," page 55 • "Updating switch firmware," page 57 • "Setting switch SNMP properties," page 59 • "Setting the switch symbolic name and domain ID," page 62 • "Setting DNS properties," page 62 • "Setting switch IP security," page 64 About transparent routing The transparent routing feature provides inter-fabric routing to allow controlled and limited access between devices on an HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch (local) fabric and devices on a remote fabric consisting of switches made by other vendors. This type of inter-fabric connection uses the Fibre Channel industry N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), and makes local and remote devices accessible to each other while maintaining the local and remote fabrics as separate fabrics. Transparent routing configuration consists of connecting the local fabric over one or more TR_Ports to the remote fabric, and then creating Inter-Fabric Zones (IFZs) by which you map the local devices to the remote devices. To complete the configuration and make it active, you must activate the same IFZs on both the local fabric and the remote fabric. Simple SAN Connection Manager displays, on the Physical Connection map (see page 43), the remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, which represents one or more HP StorageWorks B-series switches and their connected devices. However, Simple SAN Connection Manager cannot be used to manage the remote fabric or to configure transparent routing. To configure transparent routing, use the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools web applet as described in the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools switch management user guide. Viewing switch properties Simple SAN Connection Manager provides a quick and easy way to view properties related to switches within your SAN. Description of the switch properties The Switch Properties (Figure 25) include the following read-only information: • Symbolic Name • Model • World-wide name • Serial Number • MAC Address • Domain ID • Firmware Version • Operational State HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager user guide 49

About transparent routing
The transparent routing feature provides inter-fabric routing to allow controlled and limited access between
devices on an HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch (local) fabric and devices on a remote fabric
consisting of switches made by other vendors. This type of inter-fabric connection uses the Fibre Channel
industry N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), and makes local and remote devices accessible to each other
while maintaining the local and remote fabrics as separate fabrics.
Transparent routing configuration consists of connecting the local fabric over one or more TR_Ports to the
remote fabric, and then creating Inter-Fabric Zones (IFZs) by which you map the local devices to the remote
devices. To complete the configuration and make it active, you must activate the same IFZs on both the
local fabric and the remote fabric.
Simple SAN Connection Manager displays, on the Physical Connection map (see page 43), the remote
fabric as a grayed-out switch, which represents one or more HP StorageWorks B-series switches and their
connected devices. However, Simple SAN Connection Manager cannot be used to manage the remote
fabric or to configure transparent routing. To configure transparent routing, use the HP StorageWorks
8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools web applet as described in the
HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre
Channel Switch QuickTools switch management user guide
.
