MSA1000 with SAN Switch 2/8

[CLEB]

I have a DL380 G4 Packaged cluster w/ MSA1000.

Windows 2003 Server Enterprise SP1 has been installed on both DL380's.

The MSA setup guide details that the IP Address needs to be changed on the SAN Switch from default. My question is do I need to do this as I wasn't intending on plugging the SAN Switch into my network. I was going to have each DL380 connected to the MSA via one Fibre Channel card.

Is there a necessity to have the SAN Switch plugged into my network?

The ethernet is only for access to the management features of the switch.
