Installing and Configuring the Switch
2
g.
Enter the following at the terminal emulator application prompt:
ipAddrSet
.
h.
Enter the requested information at the prompts:
•
Ethernet IP Address [
10.77.77.77
]:
Enter the new Ethernet IP address.
•
Ethernet Subnetmask [
0.0.0.0
]:
Enter the new Ethernet subnetmask.
•
Fibre Channel IP Address [none]:
Enter the new Fibre Channel IP address if desired.
•
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [none]:
Enter the new Fibre Channel subnet mask if desired.
•
Gateway Address [
172.17.1.1
]:
Enter the new gateway address.
•
Set IP address now? [y = set now, n = next reboot]:
Enter “
y
” to set now.
i.
Optional: Verify the address was correctly set by entering the following:
ipAddrShow
.
j.
Record the IP address on the label provided for this purpose on the switch.
k.
Once the IP address is verified as correct, remove the serial cable and replace the shipping
plug in the serial port.
Note:
The serial port is intended only for use during the initial setting of the IP address and for
service purposes. Using the serial port during normal switch operation or for regular
maintenance is not recommended.
2.
Connect the switch to the workstation computer by Ethernet cable (can be a direct connection
or through a network).
a.
Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port.
b.
Insert one end of an Ethernet cable in the Ethernet port.
c.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the workstation (use a cross-over Ethernet
cable and the default IP address [10.77.77.77] when connecting directly to the
workstation) or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation (use a straight-through
Ethernet cable and the assigned IP address from Step 1 above).
Note:
The switch can now be accessed remotely, using telnet (although only one telnet session
can be active at a time) or Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is not being modified from
any other connections during the remaining steps.
3.
Log on to the switch with administrative privileges by telnet. The default administrative logon
is
admin
and the default password is
password
.
CAUTION
Do not change the default password unless local administration policy requires it.
4.
Modify the domain IDs if desired by completing the following steps:
Note:
The default domain ID is 1. If the default domain ID is already in use when the switch is
connected to the fabric, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique
value. The domain IDs that are currently in use can be determined using the telnet
command
fabricShow
.
