Start McDATA Embedded Web Server or
McDATA Element Manager
The default IP address of a new switch module is 10.0.0.1. Many management
workstations are not configured to communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet. Use
the McDATA Embedded Web Server Configuration Wizard to set the IP
address of a new switch without re-configuring the management
workstation.
To establish an Ethernet connection, do the following:
1. Connect a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cross-over cable from an RJ-45 port on
the management workstation directly to the RJ-45 Ethernet port; or a
10/100 Base-T straight cable indirectly over an Ethernet network.
2. Open a command line window.
3. Open a Telnet session by entering the following command with the switch
IP address. The default IP address is 10.0.0.1
telnet 10.0.0.1
4. Log in to the switch. The default account name and password are (admin,
password).
Switch Login: admin
Password: ********
You can manage the switch using McDATA Embedded Web Server or
McDATA Element Manager through EFCM.
•
To start the McDATA Embedded Web Server application for the first time,
enter the switch IP address in an internet browser. If your workstation
does not have the Java 2 Run Time Environment program, you will be
prompted to download it.
•
Open McDATA Element Manager from EFCM. In EFCM, add the switch
IP address to the discovery list. Locate and double click the switch in the
fabric map to open. You can also select the switch and select Element
Manager (HTML) from the application list. Refer to your EFCM
documentation for information about using EFCM.
In the Initial Start dialog, click the Open Configuration Wizard button. When
you power up the switch, the Configuration Wizard will recognize the switch
and lead you through the configuration process.
