To run the CLI remotely:
1. Open a terminal or terminal emulator window. For example: from the command line, enter the
telnet
command with the IP address, or network name, of the Management-Ethernet port.
The CLI login prompt (
Login:
) is displayed.
2. Enter a CLI user name.
The CLI password prompt (
Password:
) is displayed.
3. Enter the CLI user password.
The prompt changes to indicate a successful login. The HP 24-Port 4x Fabric Copper Switch
system is now ready to receive CLI commands.
Remote SSH Login
TopspinOS supports SSH2 for secure, encrypted login to the switch CLI. SSH is enabled by default,
and does not require additional configuration.
1. To login via SSH, use an SSH client (e.g. Putty) to port 22.
GUI Management
1. Refer to “About Element Manager” on page 24 for more information about managing through the
CLI.
2. Run the Element Manager (GUI) over a TCP/IP network.
3. To log in to the GUI, refer to “Starting the Element Manager” on page 29.
SNMP Management
For more information regarding SNMP, refer to “About SNMP” on page 30.
Any Network Manager running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the
Topspin system, if the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly. By default, the
Topspin GUI is a network manager and uses SNMP v2c as the protocol to communicate between the
chassis and the management workstation.
(Optional) Enable Database Sync
If you are configuring more than one InfiniBand chassis in your fabric, it is likely that you will want to
enable database synchronization of the subnet managers.
• To enable data synchronization with the Element Manager GUI, refer to “Enable/Disable Database
Synchronization” on page 66.
• To enable data synchronization with the CLI, refer to “Enable/Disable Database Synchronization”
on page 84.
Configure Partitions
Partitions are described in detail in “About Partitions” on page 53.
