Configure Basic Connectivity

1.Configure an IP address for the Ethernet Management port.

It is necessary to configure connectivity to the out-of-box Ethernet management port in order to use Telnet, the Web GUI, or the Java GUI. The system is not pre-configured when it ships from the factory.

IP addresses can be assigned statically (which is the default), or dynamically assigned using DHCP.

Assigning an Address Statically

Refer to the static example below:

a.When the system has completed booting, press <Enter> several times to display the CLI prompt.

Login:

b.Enter the user name and password. The default user name is super, and the default password is super.

Login: super

Password: super

c.Enter the enable command.

SFS-270> enable

SFS-270#

d.Enter the configure command.

SFS-270# configure

SFS-270(config)#

e.Enter the interface mgmt-ethernet command.

SFS-270(config)#interface mgmt-ethernet

f.Enter the IP address of the management port followed by the netmask.

SFS-270(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.10.0.22 255.255.255.0

g.Set the default gateway for the management port. For example:

SFS-270(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.10.0.1

h.Enable the management port by entering the no shutdown command.

SFS-270(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown

i.Save the configuration to preserve it between reboots.

SFS-270(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# exit

SFS-270(config)# exit

SFS-270#copy running-config startup-config
