10. Set the IP address of the switch and the netmask using the data in Table D-4 or Table D-5
as a reference. Set the netmask to 255.255.0.0 as shown:
ISR-9024(config-if-fast)# ip-address-fast set IP_address 255.255.0.0
11. Confirm the settings:
ISR-9024(config-if-fast)# ip-address-fast show
12. Exit the interface fast mode:
ISR-9024(config-if-fast)# exit
13. Access the route mode:
ISR-9024(config)# route
14. Set the gateway IP address, which is the internal IP address of the head node:
ISR-9024(config-route)# default-gw fast set IP_address
15. Confirm the gateway IP setting:
ISR-9024(config-route)# default-gw show
16. Exit the route and configuration modes:
ISR-9024(config-route)# exit
17. Enable the switch to generate error reports:
ISR-9024(config-sm)# pm
ISR-9024(config-sm-pm)# pm report-enable set enable
ISR-9024(config-sm-pm)# pm reset-counters set
ISR-9024(config-sm-pm)# exit
ISR-9024(config-sm)# exit
18. Set the switch time to be closely synchronized with the system time (within 1 minute).
Replace MMDDhhmmYYYY with the actual system time, where MM is the two-digit month, DD
is the two-digit day, hh is two-digit hour, mm is the two-digit minute, and YYYY is the
four-digit year:
ISR-9024(config)# exit
ISR-9024# clock set MMDDhhmmYYYY
For example, to set the system date and time to 3:48 p.m. on 06 July 2008 enter the following
command:
ISR-9024# clock set 070615482008
19. Reset the switch to save the settings you just made:
ISR-9024# reset software
20. Log in as the root user on the head node.
21. Use the text editor of your choice to open the /etc/hosts file and add an entry for each
switch. For example, if you have one switch, the entry is similar to the following:
172.20.66.1 IR0N00
Use the number zero (0), not the letter O, in the host name IR0N00. Enter the text above the
following line in the file because any entries that follow this line are deleted if you reconfigure
the system:
#XC-CLUSTER Do Not Edit Below this Line
22. Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.
23. Repeat this entire procedure for each switch controller card, modifying the host name and
switch address using the data in Table D-4 as a reference.
After completing this procedure, you can access the switch controller cards using either the
switch name or IP address:
# telnet IR0N00
When the connection is established, use the password you set in step 6 to log in to the switch
controller.
