This section explains how to use the commands in the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System on the controller card to confirm the operations of the
chassis. The section has the following procedure:
 "Starting a Local Management Session" on page 224
 "Entering the AlliedWare Plus Operating System Commands" on
page 225
The initial management session of the switch must be a local
management session. For instructions on how to configure the chassis for
remote management with a Telnet or Secure Shell client, refer to the
Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100 Series Switches.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with the AT-
SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Card to the Console RS-232 port on
the front panel of the AT-SBx81CFC960 Control Card, as shown in
Figure 149. If the chassis has two controller cards, you may use the
Console RS-232 port on either card to establish a local management
session with the chassis.
