Using the Array Configuration Utility-XE (ACU-XE) to
Configure the Switch
When using the ACU-XE to initially configure the switch, depending on the
controller’s settings and the current switch configuration, you will be shown various
options. The ACU-XE will prompt for information through specific screens, allowing
changes before they are saved.
In addition to accessing the ACU-XE, the switch configuration process is separated
in to two parts:
• Initial switch configuration
• Advanced switch configuration
As discussed previously, initial switch configuration includes setting the IP address,
Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the switch (and the redundant switch, if
installed). Until these Ethernet and SNMP parameters are entered, a Web Browser
cannot find or connect to the switch.
Advanced switch configuration includes managing and monitoring ports, setting up
zoning, and upgrading the switch firmware. Advanced configuration tasks are
performed in using the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility. A link to this
utility is provided in the ACU-XE.
NOTE: The switch configuration utility Web link to the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management
Utility is present only if the selected controller supports this feature.
NOTE: In the following screen examples, the configuring server’s IP address is
10.100.100.14. One switch has an IP address of 10.100.100.10 and the other switch’s IP
address is 10.100.100.11.
