9 2 Getting Started The following sections appear in this chapter: • “Preparing Your Device” on page 9 • “Launching Chassis Manager” on page 11 • “Navigating Chassis Manager” on page 14 • “Understanding Access Privileges” on page 15 • “Viewing Device Status” on page 15 Preparing Your Device To launch CM on your Server Switch, you must: • Configure an IP address on the Ethernet management port. • Configure an IP gateway on the Ethernet management port. • Enable HTTP and/or HTTPS services.
10 NOTE: Consult your network administrator for an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address before you begin this process. 1. Use the Serial Console port to open a CLI session to your device, then log in as a user with administrative access. 2. Enter the enable command to enter Privileged Exec mode. Example Topspin-360> enable Topspin-360# 3. Enter the configure terminal command to enter Global Configuration mode. Example Topspin-360# configure terminal Topspin-360(config)# 4.
11 b. (Optional) Enter the ip http secure-server command to enable HTTPS services on your device to permit SSL-secured access to your Server Switch. Example Topspin-360(config)# ip http secure-server Launching Chassis Manager CM without SSL requires no additional setup. CM with SSL requires additional steps based on yourWeb browser. Launching Chassis Manager without SSL To launch CM: 1. Launch your Web browser. 2.
12 Netscape/Mozilla To launch a secure CM connection: 1. Launch your Web browser. 2. Type https:// and the IP address of your Server Switch in the address field of your browser and press Enter. (You configured the IP address in step 5 of “Preparing Your Device” on page 9) A login window opens. 3. Click Yes or OK to close any browser messages. Mozilla dynamically manages your certificate. 4. Enter your Server Switch user name and password in the login window and click the OK button.
13 5. Click the root certificate in the tree. Example 6. Click the View Certificate button. 7. Click the Install Certificate button. 8. Click the Next button. 9. Click the Place all certificates in the following store radio button. 10. Click the Browse button. The Select Certificate Store window opens. 11. Click Trusted Root Certification Authorities, then click OK. 12. Click the Next button, then click the Finish button.
14 The alert cautions you that the name on the certificate does not match the name of the site. This hostname mismatch message reappears after you log in and the java applet begins to load. To avoid this message entirely, configure your Server Switch to use the identifier that you enter in the browser to verify certificates. To configure the certificate name to use the system name: 1. Telnet to your Server Switch and log in as a user with administrative privileges. Example Login: super Password: xxxxx 2.
15 When you further filter your display, the View frame indicates the new level of granularity. For instance, if you view the ports on a particular gateway card instead of all ports on the device, a tiered locator appears, followed by a filter indicator. If you view only external ports on an Ethernet gateway in slot 4, the following identifiers appear: A.B.C.D > Chassis > Ports Filter : Card = 4 The second identifier indicates that the display shows only the ports on Card 4.
