Chapter 2 Installing and Booting the Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch

Booting the Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch and Configuring Basic Connectivity

Assigning a Static IP Address

To configure basic Ethernet connectivity with a static IP address, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Attach an Ethernet cable (not provided) from the management port to the Ethernet router or switch. Step 2 Enter the enable command.

SFS-3012R> enable

SFS-3012R#

Step 3 Enter the configure command.

SFS-3012R# configure

SFS-3012R(config)#

Step 4 Enter the interface mgmt-ethernet command.

SFS-3012R(config)#interface mgmt-ethernet

Step 5 Enter the IP address of the management port followed by the net mask, as shown in this example:

SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.10.0.22 255.255.255.0

Step 6 Set the default gateway of the management port, as shown in this example:

SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.10.0.1

Step 7 Enable the management port with the no shutdown command.

SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown

Step 8 Save the configuration to preserve it between reboots.

SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# exit

SFS-3012R(config)# exit

SFS-3012R#copy running-config startup-config

You can now establish a Telent session to your Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch or enter the IP address of your Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch in a web browser to launch Chassis Manager.

Obtaining an IP Address with DHCP

To obtain an IP address dynamically, follow these steps.

Step 1 Attach an Ethernet cable (not provided) from the management port to the Ethernet router or switch. Step 2 Enter the enable command.

SFS-3012R> enable

SFS-3012R#

Step 3 Enter the configure command.

SFS-3012R# configure

SFS-3012R(config)#
