CHAPTER 3 SWITCH MANAGEMENT

USER’S GUIDE

 

Changing the Password

The Switch Password page enables users to change the password for modifying the switch’s configuration. The same password is used to access both the Web Manager and the CLI.

Note: Until the default switch password is changed, any user with knowledge of the default password can make changes to the switch’s configuration.

To change the password:

1.Click Switch > Password.

The Switch Password page appears.

2. Type the new password in the New Password text box.

Note: The password must be between 6 and 25 characters in length and is case sensitive.

3.Type the password again in the Confirm New Password text box.

4.Click Submit. If users are not logged in to the switch, a password prompt appears requesting that the current password be entered. Enter the current password to proceed.

A message displays confirming that the password was saved and activated.

Opening a Telnet Session

Some switch operations may require advanced features currently not found in the Web Manager. These features are available in the Command Line Interface (CLI), which can be accessed through the Web Manager by opening a telnet session to the switch.

To open a telnet session with the switch:

1.Click Advanced Functions > Telnet Session.

A message box appears confirming the opening of a telnet session to the switch.

2.Click OK to proceed.

3.Enter the switch’s password and press ENTER.

For additional information on CLI features and functionality, see the InSpeed CLI Storage Switch Reference Guide.

355 specifications

The Emulex 355 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed specifically for data centers requiring advanced connectivity, reliability, and speed. With the rapid evolution of data transmission technology, the Emulex 355 stands out due to its robust features and capabilities that cater to the demands of modern IT infrastructures.

One of the key features of the Emulex 355 is its support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for significantly faster data transfer rates compared to standard Gigabit connections. This increased bandwidth is essential for handling large volumes of data traffic, particularly in virtualized environments and cloud computing applications. Its high throughput ensures that data can be transmitted rapidly across networks, minimizing latency and improving overall performance.

The Emulex 355 employs advanced technologies such as iSCSI Offload and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), which help enhance data processing efficiency. These technologies allow the card to offload processing tasks from the host system's CPU, reducing the load on server resources and optimizing performance. The result is a more efficient system that can handle more concurrent connections and processes without being overwhelmed.

In addition to speed and efficiency, reliability is paramount in data center operations. The Emulex 355 includes features like error detection and correction, ensuring data integrity during transmission. Built-in redundancy and failover capabilities safeguard against potential network disruptions, allowing for continuous availability of services—a crucial aspect in mission-critical environments.

The Emulex 355 also offers support for various robust networking protocols, enabling seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. Its compatibility with multiple operating systems and virtualization platforms, such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, further enhances its versatility.

Another notable characteristic of the Emulex 355 is its energy-efficient design. It is optimized for lower power consumption without sacrificing performance, aligning with contemporary efforts to reduce the carbon footprint in data centers.

In conclusion, the Emulex 355 NIC is a powerful solution equipped with features that address the complex demands of modern data centers. Its combination of speed, reliability, and efficiency, along with advanced technologies, makes it a preferred choice for organizations looking to enhance their network capabilities and ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations.
