Summary of installation tasks
Task
Ensure that the physical environment that will host the
device has the proper cabling and ventilation.
Install any required optional modules into the device.
Install the Brocade device on a desktop, in an
equipment rack.
Once the device is physically installed, plug the device
into a nearby power source that adheres to the
regulatory requirements outlined in this manual.
Verify that the system LEDs are registering the proper
LED state after power-on of the system.
Attach a terminal or PC to the Brocade device. This will
enable you to configure the device through the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
No default password is assigned to the CLI. For
additional access security, assign a password.
Before attaching equipment to the device, you need to
configure an interface IP address to the subnet on
which it will be located. Initial IP address configuration
is performed using the CLI with a direct serial
connection. Subsequent IP address configuration can
be performed using the Web management interface.
Once you power on the device and assign IP
addresses, the system is ready to accept network
equipment.
Test IP connectivity to other devices by pinging them
and tracing routes.
Continue configuring the device using the CLI or the
Web management interface. You also can use IronView
Network Manager to manage the device. Refer to the
IronView Network Management User's Guide for
information.
Secure access to the device.
