After initializing the V-Switch via the LCD display panel and buttons, you
are ready to connect your management station to the V-Switch via the Eth1
management port and appropriate cable.
You are now ready to log in to the V-Switch. Continue with “Initializing
the V-Switch,” page 50.
Configuring the Management Console
To configure the V-Switch management parameters via CLI, you must first
open a communication session with the V-Switch via a console. From the
console, you use CLI to initialize the V-Switch. Initialization includes
assigning a name to the V-Switch; an IP address and mask to the
management port and a UDP port for SNMP communications.
After configuring the V-Switch management parameters, you can connect a
management station and log in to the V-Switch via the 1 Gb Ethernet port,
Eth 1(in-band management), the 10/100 Mb management port (out-of-band
management) or continue managing the V-Switch via console.
