2.1 Connecting to the Switch Interface

2.1.1 Configuration Options

For management access, the switch module provides a command-line configuration
interface (CLI). This program can be accessed by first connecting to the RJ-45 serial
console port on the switch, and then logging into the switch’s CLI from the System
Controller’s (SC) command prompt as shown below, where SSCnindicates either
SSC0 or SSC1.
Note – You can use a telnet or a web connection to the switch provided that you
have set up a DHCP server on your management network. Toensure that the switch
receives the same address each time it boots (and makes a DHCP request), you need
to specify the following client identifier on your DHCP server: SUNW,SWITCH_ID=
serial number of chassis, 0 (for the switch in SSC0) or SUNW,SWITCH_ID=serial
number of chassis, 1 (for the switch in SSC1). For information about preparing the
network to receive the system chassis, and about all procedures for performing the
initial configuration of the switch, refer to the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis
Software Setup Guide.

2.1.1.1 Configuring the Switch Through the Built-in Switch Interfaces

or SSC1.

connection over the management network.
