Configuring Basic Connectivity
find out which address was allocated by logging to the CLI on the serial console and using the
show
interface mgmt-eth
command. See the
Cisco SFS 7000 Series Product Family Command Reference
for
further details on using CLI commands.
Use the IP address, to Telnet to the Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch.
Obtaining a Static IP Address for Ethernet Management
A Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch user must configure a static IP Address for Ethernet Management. A
Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch user can configure a static IP address and connect to a serial console
port only if a DHCP server is not available.
To configure a static IP address, you must connect the serial console port to a PC serial for access to the
server switch.
Before you configure the switch, ensure that the unit is connected properly. This section describes how
to attach a serial console cable to a PC. The serial console port, located on the rear panel of the
Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches, is shown in
Figure 3-7
and
Figure 3-8
