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.
PC or terminal attachment
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 or
Brocade Network Advisor.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by
touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.
Attaching a PC or terminal
Follow the steps given below 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. For example:
Brocade>
If you see this of these prompt, you are now connected to the system and can proceed to
“Password assignment” on page 21.
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to the
Brocade MLX Series and NetIron Family Configuration Guide .
If you do not see one of these prompts, follow the instructions given below.
