After initializing the V-Switch via the LCD display panel and buttons, you are ready to connect your management station to the V-Switch via the Eth1 management port and appropriate cable.

You are now ready to log in to the V-Switch. Continue with “Initializing the V-Switch,” page 50.

Configuring the Management Console

To configure the V-Switch management parameters via CLI, you must first open a communication session with the V-Switch via a console. From the console, you use CLI to initialize the V-Switch. Initialization includes assigning a name to the V-Switch; an IP address and mask to the management port and a UDP port for SNMP communications.

After configuring the V-Switch management parameters, you can connect a management station and log in to the V-Switch via the 1 Gb Ethernet port, Eth 1(in-band management), the 10/100 Mb management port (out-of-band management) or continue managing the V-Switch via console.

STEP 1. CONNECT THE V-SWITCH TO A CONSOLE

Plug the included cross cable into your console’s RS232 port and then into the

V-Switch’s console port, located on the back panel.

STEP 2. CONFIGURE THE CONSOLE

Configure your console according to the following parameters to communicate with the V-Switch.

PARAMETER	SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
CONFIG SERIAL PORT	COMX (ACCORDING TO YOUR PHYSICAL PORT CONNECTION)
BITS PER SECOND	115200
