Managing the Switch
Managing the Switch
After you complete the initial switch module configuration, use the AMM, the CLI, or other management
options (if available) for further configuration. This section describes the following topics:
•

•
Command-Line Interface, page 9
•
Other Management Options, page 9
Blade Enclosure Advanced Management Module
For standalone switch module units, you can use the AMM to configure and manage the switch module.
See the
IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module User’s Guide
for more information.
Command-Line Interface
You can enter Cisco Nexus-OS commands and parameters using the command-line interface (CLI). You
can access the CLI by connecting your management station directly to the switch module console port
or by using Telnet from a remote management station.
For more information about using the CLI, see the
Cisco Nexus 4001I and 4005I Switch Module for IBM
BladeCenter NX-OS Command Reference.
To connect to the switch module console port, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Connect a console cable to the front panel serial port and connect an Ethernet cable to the front panel
Ethernet management port.
Step 2
Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
Step 3
Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no
flow control.
Step 4
Telnet to the switch module by using the console or Ethernet management interface.
Provide the login and password that was configured in
Step 3
of the
“Initial Setup” section on page 6
.
Step 5
Use the CLI to enter commands to configure and manage the switch module.
Other Management Options
You can access the Cisco Management Information Base (MIB) variables through SNMP. The SNMP
system consists of three parts: the SNMP manager, the SNMP agent, and the MIB. You can compile
Cisco MIBs with your network management software. If SNMP is configured on a switch, the SNMP
agent responds to MIB-related queries sent by the network management software.
