FabricIT
FabricIT EFM is a software based management system that can be run with either a command line inter-
face or with a WebUI interface. Chassis management comes with the switch system. An optional license is
required for full use of FabricIT cluster management. See the FabricIT EFM User Manual for instructions
and commands available to manage the chassis, switches, and fabric.
Starting an SSH Connection to the Switch
Note: SSH connection also supports TelNet.
Step 1. Set up an Ethernet connection between the switch and a local network machine (“the remote
machine” henceforth) using a standard RJ-45 connector.
Step 2. Connect to the remote machine.
Step 3. Start a remote shell to the switch using the following command:
ssh –l admin <your ip address>
When prompted for a password enter “admin”.
Note that the IP address used above is the same IP address that was assigned to the Mellanox configura-
tion wizard in the “Configuring the Switch for the First Time” section.
Step 4. You can enter any supported command now.
Note: For a complete reference of commands, please see Mellanox FabricIT Management Software User’s
Manual.
