The Switches not connected to the ethernet must have their default gateways
set to the Fibre Channel IP address of the Switch connected to the ethernet.
Also, these Switches must have their FC IP addresses in a different subnet
from the ethernet IP addresses of the management station. Lastly, the FC IP
addresses of all Switches must be in the same subnet. Example settings follow:
Management
Station Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3
Ethernet IP
Address 192.168.1.09 192.168.1.10 204.1.1.11 204.1.1.12
FC IP Address 192.168.65.09 192.168.65.10 192.168.65.11 192.168.65.12
Default
Gateway 192.168.65.10 (any) 192.168.65.10 192.168.65.10
The effect of this special connectivity is that the route to all switches will be
through the single Switch with the ethernet connection. The route back to the
workstation from the other Switches will also be though that initial Switch.
The initial Switch, which has both ethernet and FC IP capability, will act as a
“bridge” in that it will route between ethernet and FC IP to send the traffic to
the right place with the right protocol.
