Installing and Configuring the Switch 19
Connect the USB connector on the cable directly to the switch console port.
The console port on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch is located below the fixed
40GbE ports (Figure 1-3).
Invoking the X-Loader and U-Boot CLIs
During the boot process, you can perform various configuration tasks by
accessing the X-Loader and U-Boot CLIs, such as running memory tests
(X-Loader) and activating the backup image or recovering a password
(U-Boot).
You are first prompted to enter the X-Loader CLI by pressing any key when
the following message is displayed: Hit any key to stop autoboot.
If you do not press a key, the boot process continues and you are prompted to
enter the U-Boot CLI by pressing any key.
After performing any of the X-Loader or U-Boot tasks, the switch
automatically reboots when you exit a CLI. To continue with the boot process
without entering either CLI, do not press a key.
Performing the Initial Configuration
Prerequisites: Before you perform the initial switch configuration
, make sure
that
:
•The
MXL 10/40GbE Switch
was never configured before and is in the
same state as when you received it.
•The
MXL 10/40GbE Switch
booted successfully when it powered on.
• The console connection was established and the
Dell Easy Setup Wizard
prompt appears on the screen of a VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent.
Perform the initial switch configuration through the console port. After the
initial configuration, you can manage the switch from the already connected
console port or through a remote connection.
