Figure 13 shows the front of the GBIC. The dust protection rubber plug must remain
in the GBIC until a fibre-channel cable is inserted. The other end of the GBIC is
inserted in the switch.
The GBICs are keyed and only seat if inserted correctly. The GBICs in the top row
of ports are inserted with the swing handle down as shown in Figure 13. The GBICs
in the bottom row of ports are rotated 180° so that the swing handle is on top.
Setting the IP address
The switch ships from the factory with the default IP address (10.77.77.77)
pre-installed on the switch. This IP address is noted on a label on the top front edge
of the switch. This address is for the external Ethernet connection.
Use this default address to attach to the customer’s local area network (LAN) and
to establish a network connection to the switch. You can change this IP address by
using a Telnet command issued from any server having access to the same LAN.
This is the easiest way to set the IP address. Ask the customer’s LAN administrator
if the default address can be used. If this is not possible, set the IP address using
the front panel. See “Setting the IP address from the front panel” on page 28.
Instructions are provided for setting the IP address using either the front panel or
the Ethernet port. The locations of these ports are shown in Figure 14 on page 27.
Set the IP address by using the pre-installation checklist you obtained from the
customer LAN Administrator.
