To enable management through external ports, complete the following steps.
1. Log on to the IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) CLI as
2. To set the environment to the bay where you installed the switch, type the
3. At the command prompt, type the ifconfig command to enable data ports and
Note: To externally manage the switch, additional IP interfaces must be configured.
Accessing the switch through the SSHv2/Telnet interface
The switch supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure
and control the switch over the network through the SSHv2/Telnet client software.
You can use the CLI to perform many basic network-management functions. In
addition, you can configure the switch for management through an SNMP-based
network-management system. The following sections describe how to use the
SSHv2/Telnet interface to access the switch.
Connecting to the switch
If you know the IP address for the switch and you have an existing network
connection, you can use the SSHv2/Telnet client software from an external
management station or the management module to access and control the switch.
The management station and the switch must be on the same IP subnet. If you
have to obtain the IP address for the switch or establish a network connection,
contact your system or network administrator. Be sure to use the correct IP address
in the required command, as specified in "Accessing the main menu."
Accessing the main menu
To connect to the switch through the SSHv2/Telnet interface, refer to your client
software for specific instructions on how to invoke a session. For example, using
the Microsoft Telnet Client, complete the following steps.
1. From a DOS command-line prompt, type telnet x and press Enter.
2. If you do not have an assigned user account, enter the default login credentials
Important: If you want your change to persist beyond the next reboot of the switch,
you must enter the copy running-config startup-config command. This command
stores the current configuration and all changes in nonvolatile memory.
For more information about configuring through the CLI, see the Command
Reference for the switch.
