To set the IP address using the serial port:
1.
Enter the
ipAddrSet
command at the prompt
switchName:userName>
.
2.
Enter the Fibre Channel IP address and subnet mask, and the
Ethernet IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address when prompted.
3.
For future reference, copy the new IP address to the label provided on
the top front edge of the switch.
4.
Close the remote communication program and disconnect the serial
cable from the workstation and the switch.
NOTE:
For dust and ESD protection, the switch includes a cover for the serial port.
Always cover the serial port when not in use.
Resetting Factory Defaults
If you change a password and forget it, the password can be reinitialized. To
reset factory defaults:
1.
Establish remote communication from a workstation to the switch’s
serial port using a standard serial cable with a DB9 connector.
2.
When the prompt
switchName:userName>
displays, enter the
configDefault
command. The switch’s default values are restored.
CAUTION:
The configDefault command resets the password as well as many
other switch parameters. Do not issue this command without understanding its
effects.
3.
Close the remote communication program, disconnect the serial cable
from the workstation and the switch, and cover the serial port.
Initiating a Telnet Session
A Telnet session is initiated through an Ethernet connection between the
network and the switch’s Ethernet RJ-45 connector.
NOTE:
The serial port connection and the Ethernet connection cannot be active at the
same time. The Ethernet connection takes priority, so the serial port is terminated when
an Ethernet connection is made.
