4. Select the Show network settings menu option to obtain the line card MAC address. Write down
this address for use later in this procedure.
5. Select the Access Settings menu option, and select the Password settings option to set a login
password for the switch.
6. Select the Access settings menu option again, and select the Access protocol settings option to
enable the ssh command.
7. Reboot the switch controller from the Reboot menu.
8. Log in as the root user on the head node.
9. Use the text editor of your choice to open the /etc/hosts file and add an entry for each switch,
using the data in Table D-2 as a reference. For example, if you have one switch, the entry is similar
to the following:
172.20.66.1 QR0N00
Make your entries above the following line in the file because any entries that follow this line will be
deleted if you reconfigure the system:
#XC-CLUSTER Do Not Edit Below this Line
10. Save your changes and exit the file.
11. Repeat this entire procedure for each switch controller card, modifying the switch name and switch
address using the data in Table D-2 as a reference.
After completing this procedure, you can access the switch controller cards using either the switch name
or IP address:
# ssh QR0N00 -l quadrics
When the connection is established, use the Quadrics login password you set in step 5 to log in to the
switch controller.
D.2 Configure Myrinet Switch Monitoring Line Cards
You can use the Myrinet switch monitoring line card to run diagnostic tools and to check for events on
each port of the line card.
Table D-3 provides the switch names and associated IP addresses you need during the configuration
procedure. The IP addresses for the switch monitoring line cards is based on the swBase address in the
base_addr.ini file. The default address base for the switch monitoring line cards is 172.20.66, but if
you modified the swBase value, the address base for the switch monitoring line cards must change
accordingly.
