After establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the device conguration using a serial console connection, Telnet
connection, or existing management applications.
Perform the following steps to establish an Ethernet connection to the device.
1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active management module.
The active management module has the LED labeled ACTIVE on the front panel illuminated in blue.
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Management Ethernet port.

3. Connect the other end to 1 G, 100 MbE, or 10 MbE Ethernet LAN.
4. Complete any additional device conguration procedures for the device using one of the following steps:
• Log in to the device using a serial console connection and admin login.
• Log in to the device through a Telnet or SSH session using the chassis management IP address and admin login.
Customizing the chassis and host names
To
congure a chassis and host name, complete the following task.
The chassis and host names can be up to 30 characters long; can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscore characters; and
must begin with a letter.
The default chassis name is "BR-SLX9850-4". The default host name is "SLX". The host name is shown at the SLX-OS prompt.
Extreme recommends that you customize the chassis name for each platform because some of the system logs refer to the platform by
its chassis name.
1. Log in to the device using one of the following methods:
• A serial console connection to the active management module. The active management module has the LED labeled
ACTIVE on the front panel illuminated in blue.
• A Telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
2. Log in to the device using admin as your login name. If you have not changed the default password, use password.
