2 Command line interface (CLI)
Your switch module contains an embedded Telnet server. This server enables a Telnet client to establish a
Telnet session with the switch module to retrieve information or to configure parameters using the CLI. You
can use the CLI to perform a variety of fabric and switch management tasks through an Ethernet connection to
your SBCE unit.
You can access the Telnet interface in two ways:
• In the SBCE management module Web interface
• In a command-line window on a connected network management workstation
Important: Before you configure your switch module, be sure that the management modules in your SBCE
unit are properly configured. In addition, to access and manage your switch module from an external
environment, you might need to enable certain features, such as the external ports and external management
over all ports. See the applicable Installation and User’s Guide publications on the Resource CD for more
information. For more detailed information about configuring your switch module, see the Intel

Logging on to a switch
To log on to a switch using Telnet, complete the following steps:
1. Open a command-line window on the network management workstation, type one of the following
commands, and press Enter.
For switch module bay 3:
telnet 192.168.70.129
For switch module bay 4:
telnet 192.168.70.130
A command prompt window opens.
2. At the Login prompt, type the initial default user ID, USERID. At the Password prompt, type the initial
default password, PASSW0RD (the sixth character is a zero, not the letter O). The user ID and password
are case sensitive.
This user account provides full access to the switch and its configuration. After planning your fabric
management needs and creating your own user accounts, consider changing the password for this account. See
“Commands” on page 6 for more information about authority levels. See the “User command” on page 62 for
information about creating user accounts.
✏ NOTE
The switch module supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes the SAN Utility in-
band and out-of-band logins, Telnet out-of-band logins, and SNMP out-of-band logins. A maximum
of 10 SAN Utility logins are accepted. Additional logins will be refused.
