Setting Up Software for Fibre Channel
A common mistake is to set the IP address of the Fibre Channel board to the
same IP address as the Ethernet network. This is wrong; they must be separate
networks.
Each Profile unit has a computer name, often the serial number of the unit. But
some people like to change it to something more meaningful, such as
PROFILE1
or PROFILE2 . For Fibre Channel, you must set up two IP addresses for each
Profile, one for the Ethernet card and the other for the Fibre Channel board.
Here are some made-up IP addresses for two Profiles units:
Computer Name: PROFILE1
Ethernet Address: 192.168.99.1
FC Address: 192.168.100.1
Computer Name: PROFILE2
Ethernet Address: 192.168.99.2
FC Address: 192.168.100.2
You can use the these addresses if you want, but if your Ethernet boards are
connected to your company computer network, check with your system
administrator for the correct IP addresses to use.
