“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 184

“Entering the AlliedWare Plus Operating System Commands” on page 185

The initial management session of the switch must be a local management session. For instructions on how to configure the chassis for remote management with a Telnet or Secure Shell client, refer to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100 Series Switches.

To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:

1.Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with the AT- SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card to the Console RS-232 port on the front panel of the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Card, as shown in Figure 134. If the chassis has two controller cards, you must connect the cable to the Console RS-232 port on the active master card. To determine which card is the active master controller card, examine the CFC LEDs. The LEDs are green on the active master controller card and amber on the standby master controller card.
