Power on the switch
To power on the switch:
1.
Connect the power cords to both power
supplies and then to power sources on
separate circuits to protect against AC failure.
Ensure that the cords have a minimum service
loop of 15.24 cm (6 in) available and are routed
to avoid stress.
2.
Power on the power supplies by flipping both
AC switches to the "|" position.
The power supply LEDs are amber until POST
is complete, and then change to green. The
SN4000B SAN Extension Switch takes several
minutes to boot and complete POST.
3.
After POST is complete, verify that the switch
power and status LEDs on the port side of the
switch are green.
Connect the serial cable
1.
Connect the serial cable to the RJ-45 serial
port on the switch and to the serial port on the
workstation.
2.
Disable any serial communication programs
running on the workstation.
3.
Open a terminal emulator (such as
HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or
Kermit in a UNIX environment) and configure
the application as follows:
For most Windows systems:
Bits per second: 9,600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
For most UNIX systems:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If
ttyb
is already in use, try
ttya
instead:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Log in to the serial console port
1.
Verify that the switch has completed POST.
When POST is complete, the port status,
switch power, and status LEDs return to a
normal state.
2.
When the terminal emulator stops reporting
information, press
Enter
to display the login
prompt.
3.
Log in to the switch as
admin
, using the default
password,
password
.
You are prompted to change the default
password at initial login.
Set the switch IP address
To set the switch IP address, you can either use a
static IP address or a DHCP server to set the IP
address. DHCP is enabled by default.
Setting the IP address using DHCP
When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway address
from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only
connect to a DHCP server that is on the same
subnet as that of the switch. If your DHCP server
is not on the same subnet as that of the switch, use
a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address
1.
Use the
ipaddrset
command to set the
Ethernet IP address.
•
For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal
notation:
Ethernet IP Address:
192.168.74.102
•
For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated
notation:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6
--add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
2.
Provide the remaining network information:
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102 Ethernet
Subnet mask: 255.255.252.0 Gateway IP
Address: 15.226.172.1
When prompted, enter
off
to disable DHCP:
DHCP [OFF]: off
The following message confirms the change:
IP address is being changed...Done.
3.
Optional: Verify the IP address by entering the
ipaddrshow
command at the prompt.
4.
Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on
the port side of the switch.
