Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide Overview
This guide describes the inial setup of a Pluribus Networks
server-switch, and is intended for experienced network administrators.
You are guided through the inial configuraon of a Pluribus Networks
server-switch and the inial connecvity to your management and data
networks.
Pluribus Networks server-switches provide out-of-band management on
the MGMT1 port. A separate interface provides in-band management
which is configured during inial setup. Use the in-band interface to
manage available services on the server-switch such as SSH or vManage.
This guide assumes that you have basic networking skills including Layer
2 and Layer 3, along with basic system administraon skills, and you
have installed your server-switch in your network rack.

Before You Begin
Gather the following informaon:
System Name:______________________________________________
Password for network-admin(default login):______________________
(Six characters or more required.)
MGMT interface IP address and netmask:________________________
In-band IP address and netmask:_______________________________
Default gateway IP address:___________________________________
CAUTION! Do not connect any ports to the network unl the server-switch is
configured. You can accidentally create loops on the network which may cause network
connecvity problems..
1. Log into the server-switch with the username network-admin and the
default password, admin.
2. Accept the EULA by entering Yes. To view the EULA, type eula and the
enre EULA is displayed for your review.
3. You can begin inial configuraon using the setup quesons in the Quick
Start Wizard.

Performing the Inial Configuraon
Note: Fabric Communicaon
All fabric communicaon occurs over the in-band or MGMT interfaces
on a server-switch.
In order for server-switches to form a fabric, the server-switches
communicate using Layer 2 or Layer 3 networking on the in-band or
MGMT interfaces.
You must create a fabric even if you have only one server-switch. If the
server-switch is joining an exisng fabric, then you can add it to the fabric
using a few simple commands.
1. To create a new fabric name corp-fabric, use the following command:
>fabric-create name corp-fabric network-type
in-band|mgmt
2. You can create a password for the fabric so that other server-switches can
only join the fabric if the administrator knows the password. Add the
password, sw0rdf1$h, using the following command:
>fabric-create name corp-fab password <return>
password: <sw0rdf1$h>
You can now join the fabric, corp-fabric, using the fabric-join command:
>fabric-join name corp-fab <return>
fabric password:<sw0rdf1$h>

Joining an Exisng Fabric
When a server-switch joins an exisng fabric, it receives the rest of the
configuraon from the fabric and then keeps track of the fabric state.
1. To join the an exisng fabric, ,network-fab, use the fabric-join
command:
>fabric-join name network-fab
2. If the fabric was created with an oponal password, you must enter the
correct password to join the fabric:
>fabric-join name network-fab password
fabric password: <password>
Using the fabric-join command restarts nvOS and causes a short
interrupon on the network.
Once you complete the inial configuraon, you can display the system
setup using the switch-setup-show command. Plug your network cable
into the MGMT port and the network port.

Console Port E68
You can connect to the server-switch by connecng a rollover
cable to the console port or connecng a keyboard and monitor
to the server-switch.
Connect the console port on the server-switch to your laptop or terminal
concentrator using a serial cable.
Set terminal emulator connecon to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, parity - none,
stop bits 1, flow control - none.
