The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the subnet on which the first switch resides. See Table 9. Table 9 Connecting via a management station Ethernet FCIP Management station 192.168.1.09 192.168.65.09 First switch 192.168.1.10 192.168.65.10 Second switch 204.1.1.11 192.168.65.11 Third switch 204.1.1.12 192.168.65.12 Gateway 192.168.1.10 any, not self 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 Maintaining the Switch The Cisco MDS 9124e Switch does not require any regular physical maintenance. However, it is critical that environmental conditions, described in "Environmental considerations" are met to help prevent switch failure due to heat stress or improper air flow. Installing dust covers in empty ports The dust covers included in the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch shipping carton, (see Figure 1) must be inserted in ports where SFPs are not installed. Installing dust covers ensures proper airflow and helps reduce dust contamination of the switch. Replacing an SFP transceiver In some cases you might need to reinstall an SFP transceiver. To remove an SFP transceiver: 1. Press and hold the cable release. 2. Remove the cable from the transceiver. 3. Pull the bail (wire handle) to release the transceiver. 4. Grasp the bail, and gently but firmly pull the transceiver out of the port. 5. Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports as required. To install a replacement SFP: 1. Make sure that the bail is in the unlocked position. 2. Orient the SFP with the appropriate port. See Figure 7 and Table 10. 30 Managing the Switch
