Compaq AA-RHGWB-TE manual Logging Into the Switch with a Telnet Connection, Admin ipAddrSet

6.5.1.2.3Setting the DS-DSGGB-AA Ethernet IP Address and Subnet Mask from a PC or Terminal

For the DS-DSGGB-AA switch, which does not have a front panel, you must use a connection to a Windows 95/98/NT PC or video terminal to set the Ethernet IP address and subnet mask.

To set the Ethernet IP address and subnet mask for the DS-DSGGB-AA switch, follow these steps:

1.Connect the switch serial port to a terminal or PC COM port with a standard serial cable with a DB9 connector. Note that the serial port is only used for initial power-on self-test (POST) verification, IP address configuration, or for resetting the factory/default settings.

2.If you are using a PC, start a remote communication program, for example, HyperTerminal.

3.Set the port settings to 9600 bits per second, 8 bits per character, and no parity.

4.Turn on power to the switch. The switch automatically connects to the host and logs the user on to the switch as admin.

5.Enter the ipAddrSet command, then enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (if necessary). For example:

admin> ipAddrSet

Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]: 16.142.72.54

Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]: Return

Fibre Channel IP Address [none]: Return

Fibre Channel Subnetmask [none]: Return

Gateway Address [none]: Return admin> logout

6.5.1.2.4Logging Into the Switch with a Telnet Connection

Before you telnet to a Fibre Channel switch, you must set the Ethernet IP address and subnet mask.

______________________ Note _______________________

A serial port connection and a telnet session cannot both be active (at the same time) with the DS-DSGGB-AA switch. The telnet session takes precedence and the serial port session is aborted when the telnet session is started.

You can use a telnet session to log in to the switch at one of three security levels. The default user names, shown from lowest security level to highest security level, are shown in Table 6–1.
