5. Restart the DHCP service:
# service dhcpd restart
6. Use the text editor of your choice to open the /etc/hosts file to include an entry for each monitoring
line card, using the data in Table D-3 as a reference:
172.20.66.1 MR0N00
Make your entries above the following line in the file because any entries that follow this line will be
deleted if you reconfigure your system:
#XC-CLUSTER Do Not Edit Below this Line
7. Save your changes and exit the file.
8. Repeat this entire procedure for each monitoring line card, modifying the switch name and switch
address using the data in Table D-3 as a reference.
9. After you complete this procedure, you can start a Web browser and connect to the line card using
the IP address or assigned host name:
• http://172.20.66.1
• http://MR0N00
Configuring the InfiniBand Switch Controller Card
The InfiniBand switch controller card provides access to InfiniBand switch control functions through an Ethernet
connection. The controller card runs a process that collects configuration and status information from the
switch.
Table D-4 provides the switch names and associated IP addresses you need during the configuration
procedure. Other switch naming conventions can be used depending on switch topology.
Table D-4 InfiniBand Switch Controller Card Naming Conventions and IP Addresses
IP AddressSwitch NameSwitch Order
172.20.66.1IR0N00First switch
172.20.66.2IR0N01Second switch
172.20.66.3IR0N02Third switch
172.20.66.nIR0N0nLast switch
Follow this procedure to configure network access to the InfiniBand switch controller card:
1. Ensure that an Ethernet cable from the monitoring line card's primary Ethernet port is connected to the
appropriate Ethernet port on the Root Administration Switch. This connection is described in the
HP XC
Hardware Preparation Guide
.
2. Connect to the switch controller by plugging a serial cable into the serial port on the switch and using
a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. You must use terminal settings of a baud rate
of 38400, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
3. Press the Enter key to access the character cell interface to the switch.
4. Log in to the switch with the default user name and password:
login# admin
Password# 123456
5. Access the enable mode with the default password (voltaire):
ISR-9024# enable
Password# voltaire
6. Change the default admin password:
