Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis
This section explains how to confirm the operations of the chassis with the
commands in the management software on the control card. The section
has the following procedure:
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page192
“Entering the Management Software Commands” on page193
The initial management session must be a local management session. For
instructions on how to configure the chassis for remote management with
Telnet and Secure Shell clients, refer to Software Reference for
SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.

Starting a Local

Management

Session

To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with the AT-
SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card to the Console RS-232 port on the
front panel of the AT-SBx31CFC Card, as shown in Figure 144. If the
chassis has two control cards, you must connect the cable to the
Console RS-232 port on the active card. To determine which card is
the active card, examine the M/S LEDs. The LEDs are green on the
active card and amber on the standby card.
