Configuration
The Switch Module can be configured locally using the Serial Port or remotely using the Ethernet ports.
Connection via Serial Port
Use a serial cable (with a female DB-9 connector) to connect between a management console (such as a personal
computer) and the Serial Port. A communication software conformed to VT100 terminal emulation is required. Set
the parameters of communication software as shown in the table below.
Baud rate 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
IMPORTANT: A leased line cannot be connected to the Serial Port
directly.
NOTES:
・ The command line interface has 2 modes, AOS CLI and ISCLI. You
can set the Switch Module to use either CLI mode. By default, the
mode is AOS CLI.
・ When operating the Switch Module with NEC WebSAM
NetvisorPRO, use ISCLI.
Connection via Network
To connect to this Switch Module via network, you need to assign an IP address to it. You can access the
browser-based interface or the command line interface in the switch througn a telnet application or Web browser
by using the assigned IP address.
IP address is configured by the following.
- Assignment by DHCP (by default)
- Manual assignment
- Assignment by DHCP
By default, the management network interface on the Switch Module is set up to obtain its IP address from the
DHCP server on the Enclosure Manager Card. You can configure the IP address in the Enclosure Manager
Card. For more information, see the Enclosure Manager Card User’s Guide.
NOTES:
・ If the IP address cannot be obtained from the DHCP server, access
the local console of the Switch Module and assign the IP address
manually. Refer to “Manual assignment” below. After assigning the IP
address, then access the Switch Module via network.
・ Port 19 of the Switch Module is connected with the management
network in the Blade Enclosure.
・ Refer to the Blade Enclosure User’s Guide and the Enclosure
Manager Card User’s Guide about how to connect or configure the
Enclosure Management LAN port.
