Accessing the Brocade Silkworm Switch
You can access Brocade Silkworm switches in a number of ways:
■
Open a telnet session by way of a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port
■
Access the front panel (Brocade Silkworm 2800 only)
■
Use a serial connection (Brocade Silkworm 2400 only)
■
Use the Brocade WebTools GUI
The serial connection available on the Brocade Silkworm 2400 switch is intended for
initial IP address configuration only. Once the IP address is configured, the switch is
to be accessed via telnet or the WebTools GUI. See the Brocade Silkworm 2400
Hardware Reference Manual for further serial port details.
The Front Panel access method on the 2800 switch can be used to run most
commands that the switch supports. However, the screen is limited in size and
messages are restricted to one or two lines of output. Once the IP addressed is
configured through the front panel, further switch setup and diagnostics can be run
via a telnet connection or the WebTools GUI. See the Brocade Silkworm 2800 Hardware
Reference Manual for more details on the front panel operation.
WebTools GUI
The WebTools GUI (see
FIGURE B-1
) is a separately licensed feature. All Brocade
switches that are sold by Sun Professional Services should come with the license pre-
installed.
You can access the WebTools GUI with a standard web browser (Netscape or
Microsoft Internet Explorer with a Java Plug-in) by pointing the browser to
http://<ip_address_of_switch>
.
Note –
The Java Plug-in that is supplied with Solaris 8 02/02 (Update 7) is required.
