IBM Nortel 10 manual Establishing a TCP/IP session using the management module

Establishing a TCP/IP session using the management module

To establish a TCP/IP session for the GbE switch module using the management module, complete the following steps:

1.Log on to the management module as described in the User’s Guide or Command Line Interface Reference Guide for your management module. If necessary, obtain the IP address of the management module from your system administrator. The management-module window opens.

Note: The User ID and Password fields are case-sensitive. Type your information in uppercase letters only. To maintain system security, change your password after you log on for the first time. The default User ID is USERID and the default password is PASSW0RD (where the O in password is a zero).

2.From the I/O Module Tasks menu, click Configuration.

3.In the I/O Module Configuration section, click the bay number that corresponds to the location of the GbE switch module that you installed.

4.In the IP address field in the New Static IP Configuration section, type the new TCP/IP address of the GbE switch module; then, click Save.

Note: The management module does not check for invalid IP addresses.

5.Click Advanced Configuration. You can now start a Web session or a Telnet session.

The Web interface and the Telnet program provide different ways to access the same internal-switching software and configure it.

vIf your system application requires that you use the Web interface program, see “Configuring the GbE switch module using the switch-module Browser Based Interface” on page 30 for additional information.

vIf your system application requires that you use the Telnet program, see “Configuring the GbE switch module using Telnet” on page 28 for additional information.
