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 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 |
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)# 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, 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 2007 enter the following command:
ISR-9024# clock set 070615482007 |
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. 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 |
Save the changes to the file
and exit the text editor.
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.
