Switches in the fabric that are not connected through the Ethernet port can be managed
through switches that are using IP over Fibre Channel. The embedded port must have an
assigned IP address.
3. Log off the switch’s serial port.
4. From a management station, open a Telnet connection using the IP address of the switch to
which you want to connect.
The login prompt is displayed when the Telnet connection finds the switch in the network.
5. Enter the account ID at the login prompt.
6. Enter the password.
If you have not changed the system passwords from the default, you are prompted to change
them. Enter the new system passwords, or press Ctrl+C to skip the password prompts. For
more information on system passwords, refer to
“Default account passwords” on page 19.

The prompt displays the switch name and user ID to which you are connected.
