Summary of installation tasks
Task
Ensure that the physical environment that will host the device
has the proper cabling and ventilation.
Optionally insert a second or redundant power supply. If you
need to install a power supply, it may be easier to install it
before mounting the device, although the power supplies are
"hot swappable", and can be installed or removed after the
device is mounted and powered-on.
Install the Brocade device 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 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 connecting 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 command line
interface.
Once you power on the device and assign IP addresses, the
system is ready to accept network connections.
Secure access to the device.
