Is this a brand-new device? You should know the IP before placing it on the network. You could login to the switch using it's default-ip and then assign a proper static management address to it.

Does the documentation list a default ip address or that the unit will start in DHCP mode?

Hi,<br />
<br />
What type of SAN?<br />
<br />
May be the default iP is not on your range.<br />
<br />
I read somewhere that 10.77.77.77 is the factory IP for B40 SAN<br />
<br />
But a good idea is to buy the good serial cable to setup your switch.<br />
<br />
To have a look of the IPs on your network, you will find a lot of small soft like AdvancedIP scanner.

Hello,

I have added a new SAN switch to our network, but I don't have serial connection, but connected to network, but I don't know the IP address.  From windows, can we find out what are the neighbors  connected to router/switch?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
