port icon.
Network Configuration
The Network Configuration area of the window contains fields for configuring the
Ethernet connection to the selected Switch.
Static IP Addr Radio Button
This tells the switch to use the IP Address stored in the Flash Memory.
Set IP Addr via BOOTP Radio Button
This tells the Switch to attempt to use BootP the next time it initializes. If no BootP
server responds, the Switch will use the values in the saved configuration.
Set IP Addr via RARP Radio Button
This tells the Switch to attempt to use RARP the next time it initializes. If an
RARP server responds, the Switch will be accessed using its MAC address.
IP Address
The IP Address box displays the current IP Address of the Switch Management
port. The, default set at the factory is 10.0.0.1. To modify this field, move the
cursor to the field and type. Write the contents of this field to the Switch Flash
memory by pressing the Apply Button. The application will ask whether to Reset
the Switch. If no is chosen, the Apply will still write the new address to Flash but
will not Reset the Switch. The Switch will start using the new IP Address when it
is Reset. If yes is chosen, the Switch will Reset and start using the new IP Address.
At this point contact with the Switch chassis is lost. Return to the Fabric window
and use the new IP Address to communicate with this chassis.
If other changes are to be made in this window, make them before changing the IP
Address and be sure to write the IP Address down. Then use the Fabric window to
change the IP Address used by the management application.

port. The default set at the factory is 255.0.0.0. To modify this field, move the
NOTE:
When writing a new IP Address to a switch that is currently configured with the
default IP Address SANsurfer tries to use the MAC address associated with the
entry in the ARP table to determine which switch to write to. If configuring more
than one switch with default IP Addresses, it is necessary to clear the appropriate
entry (10.0.0.1) in the ARP table after each switch IP address is changed or before
the next switch with a default IP Address is accessed.
