Configuration
The Switch Module can be configured locally using the Serial Port or remotely using the Ethernet ports.
Connection via Serial Port
Use a serial cable (with a female DB-9 connector) to connect between a management console (such as a personal
computer) and the Serial Port. Communication software that supports VT100 terminal emulation is required.
Configure the communication software settings as shown in the table below:
Baud rate
9600
Data bits
8
Parity
None
Stop bits
1
Flow control
None
IMPORTANT: A leased line cannot be connected to the Serial Port
directly.
NOTES:
・ The command line interface in L2 switch mode has 2 modes, AOS
CLI and ISCLI. You can set the Switch Module to use either CLI
mode. By default, the mode is AOS CLI.
・ When operating the Switch Module with NEC WebSAM
NetvisorPRO, use L2 switch mode software and ISCLI.
・ The serial interface is not connected between this switch module and
the EM card. Therefore, it is not available to connect from the
Enclosure Manager by using the “CONNECT SWITCH” command on
Blade Enclosure (10U) or the “connectswitch” command on Blade
Enclosure (6U).
Connection via Network
To connect to this Switch Module via a network, you need to assign an IP address to it. You can access the
browser-based interface or the command line interface in the switch through a telnet application or Web browser
by using the assigned IP address.
IP address is configured by the following:
- Assignment by DHCP (default)
- Manual assignment (only in L2 switch mode)
