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. The gateway address of the first switch should be set to what ever the gateway address is for the subnet that the first switch resides on. For example: Ethernet FCIP Gateway Management Station 192.168.1.09 192.168.65.09 192.168.1.10 First Switch 192.168.1.10 192.168.65.10 any not self Second Switch 204.1.1.11 192.168.65.11 192.168.1.10 Third Switch 204.1.1.12 192.168.65.12 192.168.1.10 The disadvantage of this method is that the management station can only address the switches. Interpreting LED activity System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states that display either green or amber: • no light • a steady light • a flashing light The LEDs flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. A healthy state is indicated by a steady green light. 64 Managing SAN switches
