Establishing A Tcp/Ip Session Through The Management Module; Enabling Management Through External Ports - IBM Flex System EN2092 User Manual

Establishing a TCP/IP session through the management
module
To establish a TCP/IP session for the switch through the management module,
complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the management module as described in the User's Guide or
Command Line Interface Reference Guide for your advanced management module.
If necessary, obtain the IP address of the management module from your
system administrator. The management-module window opens.
Note: The User ID and Password fields are case-sensitive. Type your
information in uppercase letters only. To maintain system security,
change your password after you log on for the first time. The default
User ID is USERID, and the default password is PASSW0RD (where the sixth
character is the number zero, not the letter O).
2. From the I/O Module Tasks menu, click Configuration.
3. In the I/O Module Configuration area, click the bay number that corresponds
to the location of the switch that you installed.
4. In the IP address field in the New Static IP Configuration area, type the new
TCP/IP address of the switch; then, click Save.
Note: The management module does not check for invalid IP addresses.
5. Click Advanced Configuration. You can now start a Web session or a Telnet
session.
The Web interface and the Telnet program provide different ways to access the
same internal-switching firmware and configure it.
v If your system application requires that you use the Web interface program, see
"Configuring the switch through the switch browser-based interface" on page 21
for additional information.
v If your system application requires that you use the Telnet program, see
"Configuring the switch through the Telnet interface" on page 20 for additional
information.
