3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side of the switch are green. Creating a serial connection You will perform all basic configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection. To create a serial connection to the switch, complete the following steps: 1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation. If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation. 2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation. 3. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX® environment), and configure the application as follows: v In a Windows® environment: Bits per second 9600 Databits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None v In a UNIX environment, type the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttyb -9600 If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttya -9600 Setting the switch IP address You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Using DHCP When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to the a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address. Setting a static IP address 1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password. 2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address. If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted. Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102] If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated notation as prompted. switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64 IP address is being changed...Done. 16 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User's Guide

After
POST
is
complete,
verify
that
the
switch
power
and
status
LEDs
on
the
left
of
the
port
side
of
the
switch
are
green.
Creating
a
serial
connection
You
will
perform
all
basic
configuration
tasks
in
this
guide
using
a
serial
connection.
To
create
a
serial
connection
to
the
switch,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Connect
the
serial
cable
to
the
serial
port
on
the
switch
and
to
an
RS-232
serial
port
on
the
workstation.
If
the
serial
port
on
the
workstation
is
RJ-45
instead
of
RS-232,
remove
the
adapter
on
the
end
of
the
serial
cable
and
insert
the
exposed
RJ-45
connector
into
the
RJ-45
serial
port
on
the
workstation.
2.
Disable
any
serial
communication
programs
running
on
the
workstation.
3.
Open
a
terminal
emulator
application
(such
as
HyperTerminal
on
a
PC,
or
TERM,
TIP,
or
Kermit
in
a
UNIX
®
environment),
and
configure
the
application
as
follows:
v
In
a
Windows
®
environment:
Bits
per
second
9600
Databits
8
Parity
None
Stop
bits
1
Flow
control
None
v
In
a
UNIX
environment,
type
the
following
string
at
the
prompt:
tip
/dev/ttyb
-9600
If
ttyb
is
already
in
use,
use
ttya
instead
and
enter
the
following
string
at
the
prompt:
tip
/dev/ttya
-9600
Setting
the
switch
IP
address
You
can
configure
the
switch
with
a
static
IP
address,
or
you
can
use
a
DHCP
(Dynamic
Host
Configuration
Protocol)
server
to
set
the
IP
address
of
the
switch.
DHCP
is
enabled
by
default.
The
switch
supports
both
IPv4
and
IPv6.
Using
DHCP
When
using
DHCP,
the
switch
obtains
its
IP
address,
subnet
mask,
and
default
gateway
address
from
the
DHCP
server.
The
DHCP
client
can
only
connect
to
the
a
DHCP
server
that
is
on
the
same
subnet
as
the
switch.
If
your
DHCP
server
is
not
on
the
same
subnet
as
the
switch,
use
a
static
IP
address.
Setting
a
static
IP
address
1.
Log
into
the
switch
using
the
default
password,
which
is
password
.
2.
Use
the
ipaddrset
command
to
set
the
Ethernet
IP
address.
If
you
are
going
to
use
an
IPv4
IP
address,
enter
the
IP
address
in
dotted
decimal
notation
as
prompted.
Ethernet
IP
Address:
[192.168.74.102]
If
you
are
going
to
use
an
IPv6
address,
enter
the
network
information
in
semicolon-separated
notation
as
prompted.
switch:admin>
ipaddrset
-ipv6
