When you have completed setting the IP address and subnet mask,
disconnect the PC or terminal from the DS-DSGGB-AA or DS-DSGGC-AA
switch.
6.5.1.2.4 Logging In to the Switch with a Telnet Connection
Before you telnet to a Fibre Channel switch, you must set the Ethernet IP
address and subnet mask.
______________________ Note _______________________
A serial port connection and a telnet session cannot both be active
(at the same time) with the DS-DSGGB-AA and DS-DSGGC-AA
switch. The telnet session takes precedence and the serial port
session is aborted when the telnet session is started.
You can use a telnet session to log in to the switch at one of three security
levels. The default user names, shown from lowest security level to highest
security level, are shown in Table 6–1.
