If the remote server is reachable through a front-panel port, check if the static or dynamic route is present.
If the ping is successful and the FTP or TFTP log on to a remote server does not register a response, check if there is a firewall in
the transfer path that is blocking the transfer protocol.

5. Check if the server is up and running.
Switch deployment options
After you log in to OS10, you can configure the switch:
Manually by using the command-line interface
Automatically using zero-touch deployment (ZTD)
Automatically using customized scripts with Ansible
Manual CLI configuration
Use the OS10 command-line interface to enter commands to monitor and configure an OS10 switch. Set up your switch by performing
basic and advanced CLI tasks — CLI basics and Advanced CLI tasks. Then proceed with other configuration settings according to how
you deploy the switch in your network. For detailed configuration and CLI information, refer to the appropriate chapter.
ZTD-automated switch deployment
Automate OS10 switch deployment using zero-touch deployment, including:
Upgrade an existing OS10 image.
Execute a CLI batch file to configure the switch.
Execute a post-ZTD script to perform additional functions.
See Zero-touch deployment.
Ansible-automated switch provisioning
Automate OS10 switch configuration using Ansible, a third-party DevOps tool. Create and execute Ansible playbooks to configure multiple
devices. For more information, see Using Ansible.
Remote access
After you install or upgrade OS10 and log in, you can set up remote access to the OS10 command-line interface and the Linux shell.
Connect to the switch using the serial port. Serial port settings are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity.

1. Configure the Management IP address.
2. Configure Management route.
3. Configure user name and password.
Configure Management IP address
To remotely access OS10, assign an IP address to the management port. Use the management interface for out-of-band (OOB) switch
management.
1. Configure the management interface from CONFIGURATION mode.
interface mgmt 1/1/1
2. By default, DHCP client is enabled on the Management interface. Disable the DHCP client operations in INTERFACE mode.
