Setting the switch IP address
Simple SAN Connection Manager provides a quick and easy way to set switch IP addresses within your
SAN. This IP address allows the switch to be managed through the Ethernet link. Updating the switch’s
firmware, for example, requires the switch to have a valid IP address that the Simple SAN Connection
Manager server can use to communicate to the switch over the IP network.
To set a switch IP address:
1. To access the Set Switch IP Address dialog box, choose one of the following options:
• On the HBA & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch IP Address.
• In the content pane’s Physical Connection map, right-click a switch icon to select that specific switch,
and then on the shortcut menu, click Set Switch IP Address.
2. If no specific switch is selected and if there is more than one switch in the SAN, the Switch Selection
dialog box opens. Select the switch you want to change, and then click OK.
