Chaparral VFS113 Network Router User Manual


 
Installing the Router
2-11
The router recognizes all SCSI devices connected to the three SCSI channels on the
VFS113, and assigns each device a unique LUN address, which will be mapped as part of
a unique FC address. You can configure the router to assign itself a LUN for in-band
management, server-free backup, and other uses.
To make the host FC connection:
1 Connect the Fibre Channel cable to the router and the host computer, hub, or switch.
2 Power up connected servers, hubs, or switches on the network if necessary.
You are now ready to configure the router. To view the default settings, see Router Default
Settings on page 2-12. For information about changing the default settings, see Chapter 3,
Configuring the Router.
