Step 5. Apply Power to the iSR6250 Router The iSR6250 router chassis contains two router blades, along with a power cooling module (PCM) for each blade. Each chassis blade provides LEDs and connectors that face the front of the chassis. Each PCM provides a power connector, as well as an LED (see Figure 3).

Ports Figure 4. iSR6250 Blade Ports and LEDs Verify that the router’s input power LED is illuminated. The iSR6250 router runs its self test and begins normal operation—this may take a minute. Verify that the heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second) and that the system fault LED is not illuminated.
Ethernet crossover cable. The iSR6250 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1 subnet 255.0.0.0. Make sure the workstation connected to the iSR6250 router has Ethernet address 10.0.0.x, where x is other than 1 and subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard ® Start the SANsurfer Router Manager previously installed on the computer that will manage the iSR6250. You should see a display as shown in the following figures. Click the Connect button on the top-left corner.

Step 9. Present LUNs to iSCSI Initiators If the iSR6250 is connected in the FC fabric, make sure the FC fabric zoning is set so that FC storage array ports and router FC ports are in the same zone. Using storage array management software, create all LUNs you want to present to all iSCSI initiators through this iSR6250.
