Introduction to Managing the V-Switch
After powering up the V-Switch, the first thing you must do is to configure its
management parameters. This can be done via telnet, SSH, using the V-Switch
LCD panel (for V-Switch 3000 only) or via a console or dumb terminal to open a
direct connection with the V-Switch’s RS232 console port.
The V-Switch can be managed in one of three different ways. Each way requires
a different configuration.
ƒ Out-of-band
The management terminal (Telnet, SSH, SP server) connects to the V-
Switch’s dedicated 10/100 management port via a fast Ethernet
network (refer to A, Figure 4-1). The V-Switch’s default IP
(10.11.12.123) can be used to connect to the V-Switch from remote (via
telnet).
ƒ In-band
The management terminal (Telnet, SSH, SP server) connects to the V-
Switch’s Eth1 port. The Eth1 port is used by the V-Switch for
management as well as by the hosts for accessing data accessing
storage data (refer to B, Figure 4-1).
ƒ RS232
The console connects to the V-Switch’s RS232 port in a direct
connection (refer to C, Figure 4-1). The RS232 port is used mainly for
initial configuration: setting up the management IP, Mask and V-
Switch name.
