Setting Parameters Through the CLI
management workstations in different networks, then multiple
routes may need to be configured.
Unlike other configuration parameters, when the SAN Router is reset
to factory defaults, the IP address of the management port is retained.
This prevents administrators from locking themselves out of the SAN
Router, requiring console connectivity to reset the management port
IP address.
If the SAN Router is shipped in a cabinet, then the default IP address
will be 10.xx.yy.zz where,
xx is the cabinet number (1, 2, 3, etc.)
yy is the product type identifier (16 for the Eclipse 2640 SAN
Router)
zz is the position in the rack, bottom to top (1, 2, 3, etc.)
NOTE:
The management port address must be configured correctly so that
you can access the SAN Router through the Element Manager and
SANvergence manager for further configuration tasks.
You can change the management port address using the CLI or the
SAN Router’s Element Manager.
Setting Parameters Through the CLI
The command line interface (CLI) provides options for out-of-band
management of the SAN Router. You can use the commands
described in the
McDATA E/OSi Command Line Interface (CLI) User
Manual
(P/N 620-000207) for these operations.
CLI Procedure
To set the management port address using CLI and a serial port
connection, use the following steps.
1. Use a null modem cable to connect a VT100 terminal or any
standard PC running terminal emulation software to the RS-232
serial port on the SAN Router
2. Set the PC terminal emulator settings to the SAN Router default
settings.
