Configuring the Switch

Power-cycle the switch by using this command:

racadm chassisaction -m switch-N powercycle

where N is the chassis I/O module bay number in which the switch is inserted.

Step 4 Redirect the DRAC/MC console to the switch internal serial console interface. Enter this command at the DRAC/MC command prompt:

connect switch-N

where N is the chassis I/O module bay number in which the switch is inserted.

To return to the command prompt, press this key sequence:

Enter Ctrl \ (Press Enter, and press the Control key and the backslash key together.)

Step 5 Go to the “Waiting for POST to Complete” section on page 15 to finish configuring the switch.

Waiting for POST to Complete

Follow these steps to verify that POST completes successfully:

Step 1 Wait for the switch to complete the POST. During POST, the LEDs blink while tests verify that the switch functions properly. Wait for the switch to complete POST, which can take several minutes.

Step 2 Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST LED remains green. If the switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber. See Figure 1 on page 4 for the location of the SYST LED.

POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Customer Support immediately if your switch fails POST.

See the “In Case of Difficulty” section on page 28 if your switch fails POST.

Step 3 Wait for the switch to complete flash initialization. When you see the prompt Press Return to Get Started!, press Return or Enter.
