Start-up Procedures
1. Power up the switch.
2. From its flash image on the spine module CMU, the switch begins its boot
process.
NOTE: If the spine module RS-232 port is connected to a terminal emulation
program, the user will be able to view the switch boot process. Be certain to use
a
null-modem/crossover serial cable for the console port. The settings for the
terminal emulation device should be:
❥
8 data bits
❥
no parity bits
❥
1 stop bit
❥
57600 baud
❥
Use VT100 emulation.
❥
Flow control = XON/XOFF
3. Verify the IP address with the command line interface (CLI) command
showChassisIpAddr
command. The system returns the information similar
to the following:
Chassis IP Address: 192.168.100.9 Net mask: 255.255.240.0

Changing the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway via the CLI
The command line interface (CLI) can be accessed via Telnet, SSH, or through the
switch RS-232 serial ports.
1. Connect null-modem/crossover serial cables to the RS-232 ports of the switch.
If using a terminal emulation device, the settings should be:
