HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 8B Getting Started Guide

26 Getting Started Guide
Note The serial port is intended only for use during the initial setting of
the IP address and for service purposes. Using the serial port during normal
switch operation or for regular maintenance is not recommended.
2. Connect the switch to the workstation computer by Ethernet cable (can
be a direct connection or through a network).
a. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port.
b. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable in the Ethernet port.
c. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the workstation (use a
cross-over Ethernet cable and the default IP address [10.77.77.77]
when connecting directly to the workstation) or to an Ethernet network
containing the workstation (use a straight-through Ethernet cable and
the assigned IP address from Step 1 above).
Note The switch can now be accessed remotely, using telnet (although
only one telnet session can be active at a time) or Web Tools. Ensure that
the switch is not being modified from any other connections during the
remaining steps.
3. Log on to the switch with administrative privileges by telnet. The default
administrative logon is admin and the default password is password.
CAUTION Do not change the default password unless local administration
policy requires it.
4. Modify the domain IDs if desired by completing the following steps:
Note The default domain ID is 1. If the default domain ID is already in use
when the switch is connected to the fabric, the domain ID for the new
switch is automatically reset to a unique value. The domain IDs that are
currently in use can be determined using the telnet command
fabricShow.
a. Disable the switch by entering the following: switchDisable.
