SBCEFCSW/SBFCM: HMM and Troubleshooting Guide 

 

In the SBCE management module Web interface

In a command-line window on a connected network management workstation

Important: Before you configure your switch module, be sure that the management modules in 
your SBCE unit are properly configured. In addition, to access and manage your switch module 
from an external environment, you might need to enable certain features, such as the external ports 
and external management over all ports. See the applicable SBCE Installation and User’s Guide 
publications on the Resource CD for more information. For more detailed information about 
configuring your switch module, see the Fibre Channel Switch Module Installation Guide on the 
Resource
 CD.

Logging on to a switch

To log on to a switch using Telnet, complete the following steps:

1.

Open a command-line window on the network management workstation, type one of the 
following commands, and press Enter.

For I/O module bay 3:

telnet 192.168.70.129

For I/O module bay 4:

telnet 192.168.70.130

A command prompt window opens.

2.

At the Login prompt, type the initial default user ID, 

USERID

. At the Password prompt, type 

the initial default password, 

PASSW0RD

 (the sixth character is a zero, not the letter O). The user 

ID and password are case sensitive.

This user account provides full access to the switch and its configuration. After planning your fabric 
management needs and creating your own user accounts, consider changing the password for this 
account. See “Commands” on page 5 for more information about authority levels. See the “User 
command” on page 57 fo
r information about creating user accounts.

✏ 

NOTE

The switch module supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes the SAN 
Utility in-band and out-of-band logins, Telnet out-of-band logins, and SNMP out-of-band 
logins. A maximum of 10 SAN Utility logins are accepted. Additional logins will be refused.

Command syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

command

keyword
keyword [value]
keyword [value1] [value2]

The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and conventions:

Commands and keywords are lowercase and case sensitive.

Required keyword values are shown in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in 
italics: [value].
