configuring inband management can be found in the
CLI Command Reference Guide
under in
section 4.2.16 (“mgmt-ip inband”).
5.3.2.1
Logging in to the Switch
The switch is factory configured with a single administrator-level login account. To log in to the
switch for the first time with administrative privileges:
1. Ensure that the switch has been turned on and allowed to boot up.
2. Connect a console to the active management card via the serial console port (see
“Management Card” on page 10). The settings for the serial connection are an initialized baud-
rate of 115200, 8 bit, no parity, and no flow control.
3. Type
admin
for the user name, and enter for the password (the default account has no
associated password).
5.3.2.2
Setting the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway
Once logged in to the CLI, use the following steps to enter static IP address details for the
management network port:
Type
enable
to enter Enable Mode.
Type
config
to enter Config Mode.
Type
mgmt-ip service-port ip
<
ip_address
><
netmask
><
gateway
> where <
ip_address
> is the
static IP address you wish to configure on the active management card’s management network
port for out-of-band management of the switch.
5.3.2.3
Configuring an IP Address on the Second Management Card
When configuring IP addresses statically on a switch with dual management cards, the second
card can be configured with the same IP address as the first. Once the above steps have been
followed to log into the switch and configure an IP address on the first management card, follow
the following steps to configure the second card:
From Enable Mode, type
switchover
. This transfers switch management to the secondary
management card and allows its direct configuration.
Type
config
to enter Config Mode.
Type
mgmt-ip service-port ip
<
ip_address
><
netmask
><
gateway
> where <
ip_address
> is the
static IP address you wish to configure on the secondary management card’s management
network port for out-of-band management of the switch. Because the management cards never
operate simultaneously, this may be the same IP address as for the primary management card.
Type
switchover
again to return control of the switch to the primary management card.
Note
: the same result can be achieved by copying the entire configuration of the active
management card to the standby management card.
