2. Connect the FC cables from the switch to your host and storage devices. Ensure that the
physical connections match the connections displayed on the Device Connection window.
a. Remove the plastic protector caps from the FC cable ends (if there are any) and position
the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly.
b. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned
with the slot in the transceiver (see
c. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
The Device Connection window shows missing, valid, and invalid connections as you
cable the switch. It can take up to 15 seconds for the screen to display the connection
as valid.
d. Verify that the connections display green, and then click Next.

Setting switch features

For instructions on setting the switch features, see the HP B-series Fabric OS 7.0.x Administrator's
Guide and the Fabric OS 7.0.0 Command Reference Manual.

Configuration

After installing the switch in a rack or as a standalone switch, you must power it on and provide
a basic configuration. You must have a serial connection in order to perform the configuration
tasks.

Setting the IP address

You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server to set the IP
address. (DHCP is enabled by default.) The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

Using DHCP to set the IP address

When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address
from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect only to 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. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal notation:
switch :admin> ipaddrset 192.168.74.102
For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated notation:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
The following message confirms the change:
IP address is being changed...Done.
2. Provide the remaining network information:
Ethernet IP address: 192.0.2.102
nl
Ethernet subnetmask: 192.0.2.38
nl
Gateway IP address: 192.0.2.172
3. Verify the IP address by entering the ipaddrshow command at the prompt.
4. Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on the port side of the switch.
5. When prompted, enter off to disable DHCP:
DHCP [OFF]: off
