Before you can use the VCB for the first time, you have to define a unique IP
configuration for it. This task is made up of the following procedures:
T
Retrieving the VCB’s initial IP configuration
T
Changing the IP configuration to unique settings, such as a static IP address.
2.1 Assigning a Static IP Address to the VCB
Before you can use a VCB unit for the first time, you have to define one of its network
cards (NIC) and interface’s unique IP configuration so that you can connect to it for
management. Use one of the following methods:
T
Directly through the VCB unit’s front panel
T
Through interface
GbE0
.
T
Through the
Console
(serial) port and Secure Shell (SSH), Microsoft
®
Hyperterminal, or similar connection program.
For standard operation, we recommend that you connect one NIC/one
interface. If nevertheless, you require connection through more than one NIC,
each NIC must belong to a different subnet.
