Brocade Communications Systems 3014 Manual De Usuario

The SilkWorm 3014 must be configured correctly before it can operate within a network and fabric. Before beginning, 
make sure that you have the following:

The SilkWorm 3014 installed in a PowerEdge 1855 chassis

A workstation computer with a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal)

An unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address

A serial cable to connect to the PowerEdge 1855 chassis

An Ethernet cable

SFP transceivers and compatible fibre cables, as required

Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration

1.

Create a serial connection to the DRAC/MC of the PowerEdge 1855 chassis. Refer to the PowerEdge 1855 
documentation for details about setting up the terminal emulator to connect and log in to the PowerEdge 1855 chassis 
DRAC/MC.

2.

After POST is complete and the switch is in a healthy state, log in to the switch as admin:

c.

At the command prompt, type connect switch-3 or connect switch-4 depending on which bay the Silkworm 
3014 is occupying (bay 3 or bay 4). 

d.

Log in to the Silkworm 3014 switch as admin and enter the password.

3.

By default, the IP address is configured to 10.77.77.77. Replace the default IP address and related information by 
issuing the ipAddrSet command and entering the requested information at the prompts, as shown in the following 
example:

Optionally, verify that the address was correctly set by typing the ipAddrShow command.

4.

Remove the plug from the Ethernet port and connect an Ethernet cable to the switch Ethernet port and to the 
workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation.

5.

Log on to the switch by telnet, using the administrative account.

Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the 
IP address, see Set the Switch IP Address.

 At this point, the switch can be accessed remotely, by command line or by Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is 
not being modified from any other connections during the remaining tasks
