2. Ping the IP address you entered in Task 6 to verify network
connectivity using the network management host.
• If there is no ping response, contact your network
administrator to set up connectivity between the network
management station and the SAN Router.
You are now ready to configure the SAN Router using the Element
Manager.
You have set the network management IP address to suit your
network environment. The SAN Router is also shipped with a default
inband IP address and a subnet mask which are configured at the
factory. It is recommended that these default parameters also be
changed to fit your network environment, all ports be configured to
suit your network, and all IP addresses are valid and unique before
connecting cables. See the Administration and Configuration Manual.
These ports are the GigE SFP or Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports, labeled
ports 3 and 4 on the front of the SAN Router as shown in
ports. You can use either the SFP or RJ45 connector for each
Intelligent
port, but not both at the same time. The default interface setting for
these ports is Fast Ethernet (RJ45), and the default port type is iSCSI.
The LEDs are green, indicating GE.
• Connect the iFCP port to MAN/WAN network (next hop IP
router or switch).
• Connect the iSCSI port to the iSCSI initiator or dedicated iSCSI
LAN network.
NOTE: Ensure that you have the IP addressing information available so these
ports can be correctly configured for the connected network.
