Powering up the switch and logging in
After you create the serial connection using the steps in “Creating a serial
connection” on page 17, provide power to the switch by completing the steps below.
Note: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the power supply is connected to
a power source, you should then see POST messages.
1. Connect the power cord to the power supply and the power source.
Attention: Ensure that the power cable is routed so that it is not pinched or
exposed to stress when the switch is moved on the slide-rails. Ensure that the
cord has a minimum service loop of six inches available at the connection to the
switch.
The power supply LED (8 in Figure 8 on page 17) lights up green, and the
switch begins running a Power On Self-Test (POST). The POST should
complete and the switch will complete the boot process in about three minutes.
2. After POST is complete, verify that the System Status 9 and Power Status
8 LEDs are green (see “Interpreting LED activity” on page 21 for more
details).
3. Using a serial connection, when the terminal emulator application stops
reporting information, press Enter to display the login prompt.
4. Log in using the administrative account. The logon is admin and the default
password is password. You can create up to two simultaneous admin sessions
and four user sessions. For details, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide and the Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
You will be prompted to change the default passwords on the switch during
initial login; you can bypass this by pressing Ctrl-C.
Setting the IP address
Replace the default IP address and related information with the information
provided by your network administrator. By default, the IP address is set to
10.77.77.77.
1. Type ipAddrSet at the terminal emulator application prompt, as shown in the
following example.
2. Enter the requested information as prompted. In this example, the items in bold
are the new values that were entered.
Table 5. Example of changing an IP address
switch:admin> ipAddrSet

Fibre Channel IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [0.0.0.0]:
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:10.32.48.1

Committing configuration...Done.
switch:admin>
3. Optionally, verify that the address was correctly set by entering the ipaddrShow
command at the prompt.
4. Record the IP address on the label on the port side of the chassis.
5. If the serial port is no longer required, log out of the serial console, remove the
serial cable, and replace the plug in the serial port.
