• SFP transceivers and compatible optical cables, as required
• Access to an SFTP/SCP server for backing up the switch configuration (optional)
Connecting to the CLI
Make an Ethernet connection and log in to the Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module:
Procedure
1.
Connect the workstation to the Ethernet network containing the HPE Synergy Frame Link Module.
IMPORTANT:
Verify the switch is not being reconfigured from any other connections during the
remaining steps.
2.
Connect to the switch using
ssh
using the IP address set earlier. The login prompt displays when the
SSH connection locates the switch in the network.
3.
Enter the user name, using an administrative account. The default administrative account username is
admin
.
4.
Enter the password. The default admin password is
password
. If you have not changed the system
passwords from the default, you are prompted to change them. Enter the new system passwords.
NOTE:
You can run up to two simultaneous
admin
sessions and four
user
sessions.
5.
Verify the login was successful. If successful, the prompt displays the switch name and user ID to
which you are connected.
Setting the date and time
The date and time are used for logging events. The operation of the Brocade 32Gb FC Switch Module
does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value functions properly.
To set the date and time using the CLI:
Procedure
1.
If you have not already done so, connect to the switch and log in as
admin
as described in
2.
Issue the date command using the following syntax:
date mmddHHMMyy
where:
•
mm
is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
•
dd
is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
•
HH
is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
•
MM
is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
•
yy
is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970–
1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000–2069).
