Managing the
Module
You configure and manage the front panel ports on the GEN Interface
Module using the Administration Console, which is a command line
interface that you access from a terminal that is connected through the
Enterprise Management Engine (EME).
At the command prompt, you do not connect directly to a GEN
Interface Module; you manage GEN Interface Modules by connecting to
the primary GEN Switch Fabric Module backplane ports that correspond
to where you have installed the GEN Interface Module in the chassis.
To
learn how GEN Switch Fabric Module backplane ports are assigned to
chassis slots, see Table 1 and Table 2 earlier in this guide.
To manage GEN Interface Module ports from the Administration
Console:
1
Log in to the EME.
For information about logging in to the EME, see the
CoreBuilder 9000
Enterprise Management Engine User Guide.
2
At the prompt, enter:
connect <slot>.1
Where <slot> is the slot number of the module that you want to
manage, and the number after the decimal point is a subslot number
(the subslot number is always 1).
Because you manage the GEN Interface Modules through the GEN
Switch Fabric Module, you always connect to slot 7 in the
CoreBuilder 9000 7-slot chassis and to slot 8 or slot 9 in the
CoreBuilder 9000 16-slot chassis.
This command connects you to the primary GEN Switch Fabric Module,
and the Administration Console displays the top-level menu prompt.
3
To manage a GEN Interface Module port, enter commands for the
corresponding backplane port on the primary
GEN Switch Fabric
Module.
For information about module commands, see the
Command Reference
Guide
