Connect the Workstation to the Switch
You can manage the switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager or the command
line interface through an Ethernet connection to the switch. Choose a switch
management method, then connect the management workstation to the switch in
one of 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 4-1.
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 Figure 4-1.
