ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
1.6 Configuring the iPBridge
Communicate with the ATTO iPBridge through the GbE port using ATTO ExpressNAV or Telnet or
through the serial port.
The preferred method to communicate with and
manage the iPBridge is through the GbE port
using ATTO ExpressNAV, a GUI web-based
interface. ATTO QuickNAV, a utility program, automatically finds your iPBridge on the network
so that you can begin configuration.
You may use the Command Line Interface
through the serial port or through the GbE port
using Telnet.
Connecting using the GbE port
Before you begin installing the iPBridge, be
sure to check or complete the following
1
If you are managing your iSCSI system across
a WAN and your system uses a firewall, be sure
that the following ports are open and available:
If you are using the TCP protocol
• telnet (port 23)
• http (port 80)
• ftp (ports 20 and 21)
• iscsi (port 3260)
• iSNS (port 3705)
If you are using the UDP protocol
• ntp (port 123)
• SNMP (port 161)
2 Be sure your host system(s) is set up and
configured. Your host system can use any of
three different types of cards:
• a network interface card (NIC)
• a TCP offload engine card (TOE) or
• a storage network interface card (SNIC).
3 For best performance, all cabling, network
interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters
(HBAs), and network switches must be Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE), and at least Cat 5e certified.
Most standard offices use 2-pair wiring which is
not compatible. GbE requires 4-pair wiring.
4 For best performance, support for 9014 byte
jumbo frames should be available for all
switches and host iSCSI equipment.
5 Ensure that the iPBridge has access to a DHCP
server.
6 Download the ATTO QuickNAV utility,
QuickNAV-windows.exe, from the ATTO
website,
www.attotech.com , or from the
product CD.
7 Ensure the host running QuickNAV and the
iPBridge are on the same subnet.
8 Any switch in the IP SAN network must allow
UDP broadcast messages to be passed
through.
9 You do not have a router between the host
running QuickNAV and the iPBridge.
10 You have the iPBridge serial number.
To find the iPBridge
1
Using at least Cat5e cable, connect the
iPBridge Ethernet port to your network.
2 Power on the iPBridge.
3 Wait approximately one minute to insure the
iPBridge obtains an IP address from the DHCP
server.
4 Run the QuickNav Utility QuickNAV-
windows.exe which you previously
downloaded from the ATTO website,
www.attotech.com , or from the product CD:
5 Follow the on-screen instructions. You will need
the iPBridge serial number.
6 Continue to configure and mange the iPBridge
using the ExpressNAV interface. Refer to
Using
ATTO ExpressNAV on page 14
If any problem occurs, continue with Connecting
using the serial port below.
