Configure the Workstation
If you plan to use the command line interface to configure and manage the switch,
you must configure the workstation. This involves setting the workstation IP
address for Ethernet connections. If you plan to use SANsurfer Switch Manager to
manage the switch, the Configuration Wizard manages the workstation IP
address for you – proceed to “Install the Management Application” on page 4-7.
The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. To ensure that your
workstation is configured to communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet, refer to the
following instructions for your workstation:
For a Windows workstation, do the following:
1. Choose the Start button. Choose Settings>Control Panel>Network
and Dial-Up Connections.
2. Choose Make New Connection.
3. Click the Connect to a private network through the Internet radio
button then click the Next button.
4. Enter 10.0.0.253 for the IP address.
For a Linux or Solaris workstation, open a command window and enter the
following command where (interface) is your interface name:
ifconfig (interface) ipaddress 10.0.0.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
For a MacOS X workstation, do the following:
5. Choose System Preferences>System Preferences>Network.
6. Double-click your network adapter.
7. In the configuration dialog, select Manually from the Configure IPv4
drop down menu.
