  • Page 24: Without Ethernet Management

    With proper IP address setting, Users can manage system through Telnet, SSH, Web- GUI and SNMP remotely. 6.3.1.2 Without Ethernet Management In this configuration, when there is no Ethernet board, Users can only manage Primary or Secondary SAS Expanders by connecting serial console cable to Primary or Secondary SAS Expander module separately.

  • Page 25: Network Protocols Support

    Our systems support Static IP address or DHCP dynamic IP address as per users’ configuration. 6.3.1.4 Operation Modes IN WIN JBOD systems Ethernet Management provide a flexibility of modes for different scenarios by simply applying CLI commands to change. Ethernet management support 2 modes – Normal Mode and Alone Mode.
  • Page 26 In this mode, users can manage both SAS Expander by only one Ethernet board. This is the default operation mode of the Ethernet mgmt. board. To check the operation mode, applying hidden command “save alone” to view. “save alone 0” for Normal mode.
  • Page 27 Discrete Mode: Ethernet Board to manage the SAS Expander it resides. There should be Ethernet board on any SAS Expander so it provide Network Management capability. In this mode, users can manage the SAS Expander the Ethernet board resides on. Users will need 2 Ethernet board to manage both SAS Expander through network.

  • Page 28: Serial Port Management

    Please be sure to enable Alone mode on both Ethernet mgmt. boards and do a system reboot so the Alone mode can work properly. Whenever the Ethernet mgmt. board run in Alone mode. There is only one sub- directory “Expander” can be seen and jump to it for SAS Expander management. 6.3.2 Serial Port Management RS-232 port on Expander module provides a serial connection for users to manage JBOD system with terminal application such as Tera Term, Hyper Term…etc.

  • Page 29: Cli

    6.3.2.1 CLI Depending on the system configuration, there are 2 scenarios of CLI usage will be met. One is Expander with Ethernet management board and the other is Expander w/o Ethernet management board. 6.3.2.1.1 Scenario 1: Expander with Ethernet board As an Ethernet Management board exists, rich set of network protocols are leveraged for flexible remote management.
  • Page 30 Type “<command>” for displaying the current setting of the specific command. Type “<command> ?” for displaying specific command usage.
  • Page 31 “cd primary” to change directory for primary expander management. “cd ..” to change directory back to upper layer. Usually used on changing from expander layer back to Ethernet layer. “cd secondary” to change directory for secondary expander management. The changes have been made would take effect immediately as the running-config. Please be sure to apply “save”...

  • Page 32: Scenario 2: Expander W/O Ethernet Board

    6.3.2.1.2 Scenario 2: Expander w/o Ethernet board When there is no Ethernet Board on top of the Primary Expander module users need to connect serial console to Primary or Secondary Expander for managing them separately. “bpP >” or “bpS >” prompts in Console Terminal means the system is without Ethernet board installed and no network access support.

  • Page 33: Network Management

    Please note that the JBOD systems share the same Expander CLI commands no matter it is with or without Ethernet Management board inside unless otherwise specified. 6.3.3 Network Management An Ethernet Board is required to support Network management. The Ethernet board sits on top of the Primary Expander module to provide Network Management in various protocols such as Telnet, SSH, Web-GUI, SNMP.

  • Page 34: Telnet

    * For security reason, we strongly recommend users to make change of the password immediately right after the system is setup online. 6.3.3.1 Telnet Telnet is default enabled in Ethernet service. It provides the same level of CLI commands as it is through RS-232 console port. The difference from serial console is it requires Credential - Username and Password to gain access to Telnet session.
