Switch Set Up

Before you can access the BBI, minimal configuration is required on the GbE Switch Module.

IP Interfaces

At least one IP interface must be configured on the switch. This is usually done from the com- mand-line interface during first-time switch set up. Each IP interface address provides a point of access for Alteon OS switch management. The default management interface is 128, which allows access to Alteon OS switch management via the management module network only.

For complete information about configuring IP interfaces, see your GbE Switch Module Installation Guide.

Enabling/Disabling BBI Access

By default, BBI access is enabled. If you need to disable or re-enable access, use the following command from the GbE Switch Module command-line interface:

>>Main# /cfg/sys/access/http <disableenable (or just de)>

For more information on the accessing and configuring the switch through the command-line interface, see your GbE Switch Module Installation Guide.
