Connecting the Management Workstation to the Router
This section describes how to connect the management workstation to the router
for the first time, which requires the following procedures:
“Connecting the Hardware” on page 1-2
“Setting the Workstation IP Address” on page 1-2
“Configuring the Router Ports” on page 1-3
“Updating the Firmware” on page 1-3
Connecting the Hardware
SANsurfer Router Manager requires an Ethernet connection to the router using
either of the following hardware configurations:
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ-45 connector through an Ethernet switch or hub. This requires a 10/100
Base-T straight cable.
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T crossover cable.
For hardware configuration details, refer to the iSR6152 Intelligent Storage Router
Installation Guide.
Setting the Workstation IP Address
The IP of a new router is 10.0.0.1. To ensure that your workstation is configured to
communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet, refer to the following instructions for your
workstation.
1-2 ISR645610-00 B

To configure router ports, select an iSCSI or Fibre Channel port in the left pane
(tree pane), and then complete the Information and Advanced Configuration
pages for that port in the right pane. For details, see “iSCSI Ports” on page 3-17
and “FC Ports” on page 3-12.
Updating the Firmware
The router comes with current firmware installed. You can upgrade the firmware
from the management workstation as new firmware becomes available. You can
update the firmware on the router using either SANsurfer Router Manager or CLI
commands.
To update the firmware using SANsurfer Router Manager:
1. Download the most recent iSR6152 firmware version to your workstation
from the QLogic Web site:
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com
2. Check the current firmware version as follows:
