You can manage the switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager or the command 
line interface. SANsurfer Switch Manager requires an Ethernet connection to the 
switch. The command line interface can use an Ethernet connection or a serial 
connection. Choose a switch management method, then connect the 
management workstation to the switch in one of the following ways:

„

Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch 
RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires 
a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in 

. With this method, 

you can manage the switch with the SANsurfer Switch Manager application 
or Command Line Interface.

„

Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch 
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable 
as shown in 

. With this method, you can manage the switch with 

the SANsurfer Switch Manager application or Command Line Interface.

„

Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch 
RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as 
shown in 

. With this method, you can manage the switch with 

Command Line Interface.
