Compaq AA-RHGWB-TE manual Managing the Fibre Channel Switches, Using the Switch Front Panel

5.Turn on the power. The switch runs a series of power-on self test (POST) tests.

6.Set the switch IP address and subnet mask (see Section 6.5.1.2.2). You can also set the switch name if desired (see Section 6.5.1.2.5). The switch IP address and subnet mask must initially be set from the front panel, except for the DS-DSGGB-AA 8-port Fibre Channel switch. In this case you have to connect a PC or terminal to the switch. You must use a telnet session to set the switch name.

7.Reboot the switch to enable the change in IP address and subnet mask to take effect.

For more information on the individual switches, see the following documentation:

6.5.1.2 Managing the Fibre Channel Switches

You can manage the DS-DSGGA-AA, DS-DSGGA-AB, and DS-DSGGB-AB switches, and obtain switch status from the front panel, by making a telnet connection or by accessing the Web. The DS-DSGGB-AA does not have a front panel, so you must use a telnet connection or use Web access.

Before you can make a telnet connection or access the switch via the Web, you must assign an IP address and subnet mask to the Ethernet connection using the front panel or from a PC or terminal (DS-DSGGB-AA).

6.5.1.2.1 Using the Switch Front Panel

The switch front panel consists of a display and four buttons. The display is normally not active, but it lights up when any of the buttons are pressed. The display has a timer. After approximately 30 seconds of inactivity, the display will go out.

The four front panel buttons are:

Up — Upward triangle: Scrolls the menu up (which effectively moves down the list of commands) or increases the value being displayed.
