3. Execute the
ifconfig
command to configure the IP parameters you want to use
to manage the switch through CMM. For example,
ifconfig -i 192.168.70.1 -s 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.70.100
4. You should now be able to ping the switch from the CMM using this address:
system:switch[1]> ping -i 192.168.70.1

Using either the management module or a management station connected to
the management module, you can establish a SSH/Telnet or Web session
(HTTPs/HTTP) using this address.
Note: SSH and HTTPs are enabled by default. Telnet and HTTP can be
enabled once you have initially logged into the switch.
The Web interface application and the SSHv2/Telnet client software provide different
ways to access the same internal-switching firmware and configure it.
v
If your system application requires that you use the Web interface application,
see “Accessing the switch through the browser-based interface” on page 23 for
additional information.
v If your system application requires that you use the SSHv2/Telnet client software,
see “Accessing the switch through the SSHv2/Telnet interface” on page 22 for
additional information.
Enabling management through external ports
To access and manage the switch through external interfaces, you must enable the
external ports and the ability to manage the switch through them. Use the
information in the following table to configure your ports.
External management (-em) External ports (-ep) Description
Disabled Disabled The switch must be managed
through the management
module. No traffic is allowed on
external ports.
Disabled Enabled The switch must be managed
through the management
module. Data traffic is allowed
on external ports.
Enabled Disabled The switch can be managed
through the management
module or a compute node. No
traffic is allowed on external
ports.
Enabled Enabled The switch can be managed
through the management
module, a compute node, or a
management station that is
connected through an external
port. Data traffic is allowed on
external ports.
