72 SAN Multiprotocol Routing: An Introduction and Implementation
6.1 Installing the SAN16B-R (2109-A16)
During the implementation of this router, we perform the following steps:
1. Set up IP addresses through the serial port.
2. Upgrade the switch to the latest supported firmware version.
3. Attach the router to the LAN and connect to its management interface
(WebTools).
