Ethernet Connection
The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. Many management
workstations are not configured to communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet. Use the
SANbox Manager Configuration Wizard to set the IP address of a new switch
without re-configuring the management workstation.
To establish an Ethernet connection, do the following:
1. Connect a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable from an RJ-45 port on the
management workstation directly to the RJ-45 Ethernet port; or a 10/100
Base-T straight cable indirectly over an Ethernet network.
2. Open a command line window.
3. Open a Telnet session by entering the following command with the switch IP
address. The default IP address is 10.0.0.1
telnet 10.0.0.1
4. Log in to the switch. If user authentication is disabled, account names and
passwords are not enforced. Refer to the ”Set Setup Command” on
page B-48 for information about setting fabric security. The default account
name and password are (admin, password).
