Overview 
Accessing the Switch Modules  
After the Integrated Administrator is configured, you can access and configure the switch 
modules through the Integrated Administrator software. For information on how to configure 
the Integrated Administrator, refer to the “Configuring the Integrated Administrator” section 
in the HP ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch User Guide. 
To access the switch modules from the Integrated Administrator command line interface, use 
one of the following methods: 
• 
• 
If you have already logged into the Integrated Administrator as the “Administrator,” you 
can connect to either switch module console using one of the following commands: 
connect switch a to access Switch A 
or 
connect switch b to access Switch B 
If you have not logged on to the Integrated Administrator, you can use one of two special 
logon accounts to access the switch module consoles directly, depending on whether you 
want to access Switch A or Switch B. At the login prompt type in both the user name and 
password as either: 
switcha 
or 
switchb 
The logon screen for Switch A or Switch B will now be displayed. 
 
 
IMPORTANT:  The interconnect switch does not have any initial user names or passwords set. HP 
recommends that after logging on, you create at least one Root-level user as the switch administrator. 
(Refer to Table 2-1 in Chapter 2 for an explanation of user privileges.) If you forget your password after 
it has been set up, call HP Customer Support for assistance.
