Configure the Workstation
If you plan to use the command line interface to configure and manage the switch,

address for Ethernet connections, or configuring the workstation serial port. If you
plan to use SANsurfer Switch Manager to manage the switch, the Configuration
Wizard manages the workstation IP address for you – proceed to ”Install the
Management Application” on page 4-11.
