2.7.1.1 Disable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP is used for automatic retrieval of management IP addresses..
2.7.1.2 Manual Host Configuration
To perform initial configuration of the system:
Step 1. Connect a host PC to the Console RJ45 ( ) port of the system using the supplied har-
ness cable (DB9 to RJ45). Make sure to connect to the Console RJ45 port and not to the
(Ethernet) MGT port.
Step 2. Configure a serial terminal program (for example, HyperTerminal, minicom, or Tera Term)
on your host PC with the settings described in
Table 9. Once you perform that, you should
get the CLI prompt of the system.
Step 3. Login as admin and use admin as password. On the first login, the MLNX-OS configuration
wizard will start.
Step 4. To configure network attributes and other initial parameters to the system, follow the con-
figuration wizard as shown in Table 10.
If a user connects through SSH, runs the wizard and turns off DHCP, the connection is
immediately terminated as the management interface loses its IP address.
<localhost># ssh admin@<ip-address>
