Step 3. Mount the Router Mount the SANbox 6142 using the shelf, if purchased. Step 4. Install the SFPs An SFP transceiver is required for each of the router’s FC ports that will be connected to a Fibre Channel device or switch. SFPs are included in the package. To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the router port and press gently until it snaps in place. The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
Step 6. Install the SANsurfer Router Manager Management Console - System Requirements: The SANbox 6142 Router comes with QLogic’s SANsurfer Router Manager application. (The Router management console can be a Windows, Solaris, Linux or MAC OS-X based workstation or server.) The SANsurfer Router Manager application includes the Configuration Wizard, which auto-detects and configures the SANbox 6142 Router based on selected options and recommended settings.
You will lose the connectivity of the telnet session at this time. If you want to continue using the CLI, restart the telnet session with the IP address you just assigned to the management port. You now have the management port configured with the appropriate IP address. Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network. Connect cables to GE1, GE2, FC 1, and FC 2 cables as shown in the configuration diagrams (figure 1/figure 2). Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard 1.
If you have an NTP server, enable the NTP Server and enter the NTP Server information. This is located in the GUI Screen on the Information tab when the router is selected in the System Tree view.
