HP Fabric Clustering System HP-UX Administrator's Guide, March 2008

• Management ports:

— Serial console port: RJ-45 connector

— Ethernet Management port: RJ-45 jack for unshielded twisted-pair connections

• Two 4X Fabric Copper connector for InfiniBand ports

Setting up the Switch

Configuring Basic Connectivity To configure the system, you must first assign an IP address to

a management port. This is accomplished via the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a

text-based interface that is initially accessed using a serial console. The CLI is described in “CLI

Overview” (page 74).

HP Fabric Switch devices are not assigned an IP address prior to leaving the factory. You need

to assign an IP address using the CLI and the serial console. After you assign an IP address, you

can access the system through a Telnet or SSH session.

Configuring an Out-Of-Band Ethernet Management IP Address To configure an out-of-band

Ethernet management IP address:

1. Make sure that the HP Fabric switch is attached to a PC or terminal via the serial port. Refer

to Appendix C (page 217)

2. Open a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal for Windows, and set the

session parameters as follows:

• Baud: 9600 b/s

• Data Bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop Bits: 1

• Flow control: None

3. At the Login: prompt, enter the username and password. The default is super and super.

Password: super

4. At the CLI prompt, enter enable. This enters the privileged-execute mode.

HP-IB> enable

5. Enter configure to enter the global-configuration mode.

HP-IB# configure

HP-IB(config)#

6. Set the IP address and netmask. The following address is an example.

HP-IB(config)# interface mgmt-ethernet

HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.10.0.22 255.255.255.0

7. Set the default gateway address. This address is an example.

HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.10.0.1

8. Enable the management port

HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown

9. Test IP connectivity by pinging the management station

HP-IB(config mgmt-ethernet)# exit all

HP-IB> ping 10.10.0.3

sending 5 ICMP Echos to 10.10.0.10, 56 data bytes

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)

round-trip min/avg/max = 0.000000/0.000000/0.000000 ms
