Ensure that an Ethernet cable from
the monitoring line card's primary Ethernet port is connected to the
appropriate Ethernet port on the Root Administration Switch. This connection
is described in the HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide.
Connect to the switch controller by
plugging a serial cable into the serial port on the switch and using a terminal
emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. You must use terminal settings of
a baud rate of 38400, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
Press the Enter key
to access the character cell interface to the switch.
Log in to the switch with the default
user name and password:
login# admin
Password# 123456 |
Access the enable mode with the default
password (voltaire):
ISR-9024# enable
Password# voltaire |
Change the default admin password:
ISR-9024# password update admin |
Change the default enable
password:
ISR-9024# password update enable |
Access the configuration mode:
Access the interface fast mode:
ISR-9024(config)# interface fast |
Set the IP address of the switch and
the netmask using the data in Table D-4 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 |
Confirm the settings:
ISR-9024(config-if-fast)# ip-address-fast show |
Exit the interface fast mode:
ISR-9024(config-if-fast)# exit |
Access the route mode:
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 |
Confirm the gateway IP setting:
ISR-9024(config-route)# default-gw show |
Exit the route and configuration modes:
ISR-9024(config-route)# exit
|
Enable the switch
to generate error reports:
ISR-9024(config)# sm
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 |
Set the switch
time to be closely synchronized with the system time (within 1 minute). Replace MMDDhhmmYYYY with
the actual system time:
ISR-9024(config)# exit
ISR-9024# clock set MMDDhhmmYYYY |
For example, to set the system date and time to 2:42 p.m.
on September 29, 2006, enter the following command:
ISR-9024# clock set 092914422006 |
Reset the switch to save the settings
you just made:
Log in as the root user
on the head node.
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:
Use the number zero (0), not the letter O,
in the host name IR0N00. Make the 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 |
Save your changes and exit the file.
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.
