Graphical User Interface
The SANman Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides graphical tools for managing the
gateway network. For details, please refer to the SANman User Guide.
Software Restart Modes
There are 3 modes for starting or restarting the software on an individual gateway:
•
Cold start: The factory-set default configuration is restored and the gateway is
automatically reactivated.
•
Warm-inactive start: The previous configuration is restored but the gateway is not
automatically reactivated. The user can take this opportunity to modify some
parameters such as port types. After changes are made the gateway must be explicitly
reactivated.
•
Warm-active start: The previous configuration is restored and the gateway is
automatically reactivated. This mode would typically be used after a power failure.
The gateway software can be started in one of these modes using the following CLI
commands: config system restart-mode and config system activate.
Networking and Connections
Overview
The LightSand S-2500B Gateway has been designed to support connections with wide area,
local area and storage area networks, and well as serial connection to a console. The following
describes a typical configuration of the S-2500B Gateway's ports:
•
The wide area network (WAN) port is used for a SONET connection to a remote
gateway.
•
The serial port provides a direct link to a console.
Two Ethernet ports might provide links to the local area network (LAN) or other out-
•
of-band network, and to another gateway for purposes of redundancy.
