Mellanox configuration wizard
Do you want to use the wizard for initial con-
figuration? yes
You must perform this configuration the first
time you operate the switch or after resetting
the switch to the factory defaults. Type “y” and
then press <Enter>.
Step1:
Hostname? [switch-1]
If you wish to accept the default hostname,
then press <Enter>. Otherwise, type a different
hostname and press <Enter>.
Step 2:
Use DHCP on mgmt0 interface? [yes]
Perform this step to obtain an IP address for the
switch. (mgmt0 is the management port of the
switch.)
If you wish the DHCP server to assign the IP
address, type “yes” and press <Enter>.
If you type “no” (no DHCP), then you will be
asked whether you wish to use the “zeroconf”
configuration or not. If you enter “yes” (yes
Zeroconf), the session will continue as shown
in
Table 18
.
If you enter “no” (no Zeroconf), then you need
to enter a
static
IP, and the session will con-
tinue as shown in
Table 19
.
Step 3:
Enable IPv6 [yes]
Perform this step to enable IPv6 on manage-
ment ports.
If you wish to enable IPv6, type “yes” and
press <Enter>.
If you enter “no” (no IPv6), then you will auto-
matically be referred to Step 5.
