fibre channel 8-el switch

[terry712]

this switch is live and connected to another so i can reboot but dont want to reset

i attached rj45 and could attach to it at 10.77.77.77

hypertermed in and used the ipaddrset

ethernet ip address 10.40.64.192
ethernet subnetmask 255.255.252.0
fibre channel ip address 10.40.64.193
fibre channel subnetmask 255.255.252.0
gateway address 10.40.64.1

reset switch - check config and all ok

i cannot ping on either address though
any thoughts

I assume you can connect to it via a cross-over cable, since you were able to connect to it. It's when you connect it to the regular LAN you cannot access it.
If the above assumption is valid, what I think you're seeing is the auto-negotiate not working. On more ocassions than not I've had to hardcode the ethernet setting to whatever suits your LAN gear. There's no need to go 100/Full, the etherenet port is only for management.
Try the command:
ifmodeset "fei0"
and select what suits you. You'll need to reset again, and you should be all set.

i was connected via a cisco switch when using the 10.77.77.77
i just changed my pc to static and went to 10.77.77.78

i then connected the serial cable changed the ip addresses and couldnt connect
i then tried a cross over cable just from management port to laptop to see if it was autonegoiate
