AT8402
2.6
Software Installation
The AT8402 comes as a pre-installed system with all necessary OS, Filesystem, drivers and
applications factory-installed with default configurations.
Updating the Software with new Operating System or applications or new versions is provided
by a dedicated update mechanism, which is described in Chapter 4.
2.7
Quick Start
This section gives instructions for (initially) accessing the CLI (Command Line Interface) of the
AT8402 using either in-band access via the base interface or the out-of-band management in-
terfaces (Serial Console or Fast Ethernet) accessible from the front plate serial connector or
via an appropriate RTM. The CLI is required for configuring the GbE switch, as well as the PCIe
and SAS subsystem infrastructure. Some basic settings for PCIe and SAS port assignment are
also described.
2.7.1
In-Band CLI Access
The GbE switch on the AT8402 is pre-configured with a management VLAN. This VLAN is ac-
cessible over the base fabric interface. Telnet accesses to port 23 of this VLAN connect to the
CLI. The VLAN is configured for DHCP and retrieves its IP address automatically when a
DHCP server is found in the network. The procedure to obtain the issued IP from the DHCP
server is beyond the scope of this document.
The management VLAN is configured with VLAN ID 1. The following Ethernet ports are mem-
bers of the management VLAN ID 1 by default:
• Interface 0/3 connected to base interface switch in ATCA logical slot 1
• Interface 0/9, 0/11, 0/13, 0/15 connected to AMC bay B4, B3, B2, B1 on channel 0
Thus connectivity to the management VLAN ID 1 is by default possible through the base inter-
face switch in ATCA chassis logical slot 1.
For more information on the management VLAN and how to assign a fixed IP address, refer to
the "AT8402 CLI Reference Manual".
2.7.2
Out-of-band CLI Access
The CLI can also be accessed via serial console (using the front plate connector and provided
cable or an appropriate RTM like the RTM8400) or Fast Ethernet (only via RTM). The serial
console is ready to use offhand without further configuration.
To connect to the CLI via the Fast Ethernet serviceport on the RTM, a telnet session must be
established to the IP address of this interface, port 23.
It is necessary to assign an IP address statically to the serviceport. Because the required con-
figuration steps are done in the CLI, an initial access using the serial console or in-band con-
nectivity via the base interface (see 2.7.1) is required. The procedure for assigning an IP
address to the serviceport is described in the following. User input is printed in bold letters.
