CONNECTING TO THE CLI

The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be accessed through a network interface using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal®, or through the serial interface from a local computer. Refer to the Emulex® or InSpeed™ Storage Switch Products’ CLI Reference Guide for detailed descriptions of CLI commands and usage.

To connect through a network interface:

Use a network terminal emulation program. For example, if using the telnet command on a Windows workstation, type telnet IPaddress at a command prompt.

To connect through a serial interface:

1.Attach one end of the included RS-232 null modem cable to the computer’s DB-9 serial port, and attach the other end to the switch’s DB-9 serial port.

2.Open a terminal session through a serial terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal®) with the appropriate serial port (for example, COM1) and the following serial port parameters:

•Bits per second: 19200

•Data bits: 8

•Parity: None

•Stop bits: 1

•Flow control: None

3.If using HyperTerminal, press ENTER to receive a prompt.

4.If using the tip command on a UNIX workstation, do the following:

a.View the /etc/remote file and create an alias similar to Hardware but with the serial port parameters above. (Suggested name: Switch)

b.Use the tip command to establish a connection through the created alias, for example tip switch. (For more information, see the tip command Manual page.)

LOGGING IN AND OUT

The CLI does not require login if only viewing basic system information. However, for viewing detailed system information or configuring any switch settings, users must log in to the switch.

To log in to the CLI:

Type the password at the prompt and press ENTER. (The default password is password.)

To log out of the CLI:

Type lo and press ENTER, or exit the terminal session.

355 specifications

The Emulex 355 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed specifically for data centers requiring advanced connectivity, reliability, and speed. With the rapid evolution of data transmission technology, the Emulex 355 stands out due to its robust features and capabilities that cater to the demands of modern IT infrastructures.

One of the key features of the Emulex 355 is its support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for significantly faster data transfer rates compared to standard Gigabit connections. This increased bandwidth is essential for handling large volumes of data traffic, particularly in virtualized environments and cloud computing applications. Its high throughput ensures that data can be transmitted rapidly across networks, minimizing latency and improving overall performance.

The Emulex 355 employs advanced technologies such as iSCSI Offload and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), which help enhance data processing efficiency. These technologies allow the card to offload processing tasks from the host system's CPU, reducing the load on server resources and optimizing performance. The result is a more efficient system that can handle more concurrent connections and processes without being overwhelmed.

In addition to speed and efficiency, reliability is paramount in data center operations. The Emulex 355 includes features like error detection and correction, ensuring data integrity during transmission. Built-in redundancy and failover capabilities safeguard against potential network disruptions, allowing for continuous availability of services—a crucial aspect in mission-critical environments.

The Emulex 355 also offers support for various robust networking protocols, enabling seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. Its compatibility with multiple operating systems and virtualization platforms, such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, further enhances its versatility.

Another notable characteristic of the Emulex 355 is its energy-efficient design. It is optimized for lower power consumption without sacrificing performance, aligning with contemporary efforts to reduce the carbon footprint in data centers.

In conclusion, the Emulex 355 NIC is a powerful solution equipped with features that address the complex demands of modern data centers. Its combination of speed, reliability, and efficiency, along with advanced technologies, makes it a preferred choice for organizations looking to enhance their network capabilities and ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations.
