Guide for the switch.

Configuring the switch through the serial-port interface

The mini-USB serial port provides basic communication through a terminal
emulation program (such as Hyperterminal). Because messages from the power-on
self-test (POST) and all initialization information are transmitted through the serial
port, you can use the serial port to log in to the switch and access and configure
the internal switching firmware.
To log in to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. Connect one end of the specifically designed serial cable that comes with your
device into the mini-USB port and connect the other end to the management
station.
For additional information, see "Connecting the serial console cable" on page
10.
2. On the management station, open a console window and make sure that the
serial port is configured with the following settings:
v 9600 baud
v 8 data bits
v No parity
v 1 stop bit
v No flow control
3. Type the user name and password. The default user name is USERID. The
default password is PASSW0RD. The password is spelled with a zero, not the
letter O.
The serial port is compatible with the standard 16550 Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter (UART) protocol. The mini-USB serial port is enabled by
default.
Configuring the switch through the switch browser-based
interface
Note: HTTP is disabled by default. HTTPS is not disabled by default.
Before you can access and start the browser-based interface, make sure that you
have completed the following procedures:
v Install the switch in the IBM Flex System chassis.
v Make sure that the switch firmware is installed on the switch.
v Configure at least one IP interface on the switch.
