Connect the management workstation to the switch
Connect the management workstation to the switch in the following ways:
•
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch RJ-45 Ethernet connector
through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in
Figure
8. With this method, you can manage the switch with the McDATA Web Server application or
the CLI.
•
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable as shown in
manage the switch with the McDATA Web Server application or the CLI.

Ethernet cable connections
The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. Many management workstations are not configured to
communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet. Use the McDATA Web Server Configuration Wizard to set the IP
address of a new switch without re-configuring the management workstation.
To establish an Ethernet connection, perform the following procedure:
1.
Connect a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable from an RJ-45 port on the management workstation directly
to the RJ-45 Ethernet port; or a 10/100 Base-T straight cable indirectly over an Ethernet network.
2.
Open a command line window.
3.
Enter the following command with the switch IP address to start a Telnet session. The default IP address
is 10.0.0.1
telnet 10.0.0.1
4.
Log in to the switch. Enter the default account name (admin) and password (password).
Switch Login: admin
Password: ********
Start McDATA Web Server or McDATA Element Manager
After the switch is operational, open the McDATA Web Server by entering the switch IP address in an
internet browser. The default IP address is 10.0.0.1. If your workstation does not have the Java 2 Run Time
Environment program, you will be prompted to download it.
Open McDATA Element Manager from HAFM. In HAFM, add the switch IP address to the discovery list.
Locate and double click the switch in the fabric map to open. You can also select the switch and select
Element Manager from the application list. See your HAFM documentation for information about using
HAFM.
