Bringing Up the System For the First Time

2.3.7.4.1

Start-up Procedures

1. Power up the switch.

2. From its flash image on the spine module CMU, the switch begins its boot

process.

NOTE:If the spine module RS-232 port is connected to a terminal emulation

program, the user will be able to view the switch boot process. Be certain to use

a null-modem/crossover serial cable for the console port. The settings for the

terminal emulation device should be:

❥ 8 data bits

❥ no parity bits

❥ 1 stop bit

❥ 57600 baud

❥ Use VT100 emulation.

❥ Flow control = XON/XOFF

3. Verify the IP address with the command line interface (CLI) command

showChassisIpAddr command. The system returns the information similar

to the following:

Chassis IP Address: 192.168.100.9 Net mask: 255.255.240.0

2.3.7.4.2

Changing the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway via the CLI

The command line interface (CLI) can be accessed via Telnet, SSH, or through the

switch RS-232 serial ports.

1. Connect null-modem/crossover serial cables to the RS-232 ports of the switch.

If using a terminal emulation device, the settings should be:

❥ 8 data bits

❥ no parity bits
