Installing a FastIron Compact Switch
Attaching a PC or terminal
The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status information from any management
session. In addition, the software automatically generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap if a status change occurs.
Attaching a PC or terminal
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the
Command Line Interface (CLI)
. The CLI is a text-based interface that can be
accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and through Telnet connections.
You need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign
an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web Management Interface, or Brocade Network Advisor.
Perform the following tasks to attach a management station using the serial port.
1.
Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the system using a straight-through cable. The serial port has a male DB-9
connector.
NOTE
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2.
Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: None
When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window.
