Assigning an IP Address
5-2 Configuring the Module in a DEChub ONE
Assigning an IP Address
After installing the module in a DEChub ONE docking station, connecting the cables,
and assigning an IP address, you need to configure the module. Do this using one of
the following methods:
• A Telnet session to access the command line interface
• Through the command line interface, which is accessed through a terminal
connected to the setup port on the DEChub ONE docking station
• Through clearVISN MultiChassis Manager
The setup port provides menus that allow you to access the VNswitch 900FX module.
These menus allow you to set up the module for basic connectivity. After setup, you
can configure the module’s software using commands. You can access these
commands remotely via TCP/IP Telnet, or locally through the setup port on a DEChub
ONE.
To perform a Telnet session, you must assign an IP address. To do this, complete the
following steps:
Step Action
1 Install the module into a DEChub ONE docking station.
2 Select the IP Configuration option from the menu.
3 Set the in-band IP address.
4 Set the default gateway, if necessary.
5 Return to the VNswitch 900FX INSTALLATION MENU and select
[2] Restart with Current Settings.
6 Open a Telnet session into the module from the management station for
further configuration.
To access the configuration menus, press Return on the setup port
device until the VNswitch 900FX INSTALLATION MENU appears.
For further configuration information, refer to the DIGITAL VNswitch
900 Series Switch Management.
