Configuration

The Switch Module can be configured locally using the Serial Port or remotely using the Ethernet ports.

Connection via Serial Port

Use a serial cable (with a female DB-9 connector) to connect between a management console (such as a personal computer) and the Serial Port. A communication software conformed to VT100 terminal emulation is required. Set the parameters of communication software as shown in the table below.

Baud rate

9600

Data bits

8

Parity

None

Stop bits

1

Flow control

None

IMPORTANT: A leased line cannot be connected to the Serial Port directly.

NOTES:

The command line interface has 2 modes, AOS CLI and ISCLI. You can set the Switch Module to use either CLI mode. By default, the mode is AOS CLI.

When operating the Switch Module with NEC WebSAM NetvisorPRO, use ISCLI.

Connection via Network

To connect to this Switch Module via network, you need to assign an IP address to it. You can access the browser-based interface or the command line interface in the switch througn a telnet application or Web browser by using the assigned IP address.

IP address is configured by the following.

-Assignment by DHCP (by default)

-Manual assignment

-Assignment by DHCP

By default, the management network interface on the Switch Module is set up to obtain its IP address from the DHCP server on the Enclosure Manager Card. You can configure the IP address in the Enclosure Manager Card. For more information, see the Enclosure Manager Card User’s Guide.

NOTES:

If the IP address cannot be obtained from the DHCP server, access the local console of the Switch Module and assign the IP address manually. Refer to “Manual assignment” below. After assigning the IP address, then access the Switch Module via network.

Port 19 of the Switch Module is connected with the management network in the Blade Enclosure.

Refer to the Blade Enclosure User’s Guide and the Enclosure Manager Card User’s Guide about how to connect or configure the Enclosure Management LAN port.
