After configuring the console, you can now log in to the V-Switch using your installed terminal emulation application and configure the basic V- Switch parameters. You will then be able to manage the V-Switch via the 1 Gb Ethernet port, Eth1 (in-band) or the 10/100Mb management port (out- of-band). Continue with “Initializing the V-Switch”.

Initializing the V-Switch

Before you can begin managing your storage pool, you must initialize the V-Switch. This includes assigning a name to the V-Switch; an IP address and mask for the management port and a TCP/UDP port for SNMP communications. Use the CLI command init to initialize the V-Switch.

If you have configured the V-Switch 3000 management IP address via LCD, you can open a Telnet session and log in to the V-Switch remotely to initialize it. If you have not configured the V-Switch 3000 management IP address or you are working with a V-Switch 2000, you can log in to the V- Switch locally via the RS232 serial connection established in the last section and initialize it.

Access to the V-Switch is password protected. The V-Switch ships with the default user name sanrad and the default password sanrad. After logging in, a total of ten user names with passwords can be configured on a V- Switch. The default user name and password sanrad can be maintained or removed. The user name can have from one to twenty characters. The user password can have from six to twelve characters. Both fields are case sensitive and accept all characters, including spaces.

After establishing a Telnet session, you must press Enter to open the V-Switch Login window.

All CLI names and aliases are case sensitive.

STEP 1. OPEN A TELNET SESSION (REMOTE MANAGEMENT ONLY)

From the Windows Start menu, select Run.

In the Open window, enter:

Click OK. A Telnet session window opens.

STEP 2. LOG IN TO THE V-SWITCH

Press Enter on your keyboard to open the V-Switch 3000 Login window.
