Managing network access devices 63
When you first add the network access devices, you are prompted to enter
the following information:
• switch name—a string that identifies the switch on the Nortel SNAS.
The maximum length of the string is 255 characters. After you have
defined a name for the switch, you can use either the switch name or
the switch ID to access the Switch menu.
• type of switch—valid options are ERS8300 , ERS5500 , and ERS4500 .
The input is case sensitive.
• IP address of the switch.
• NSNA communication port—the TCP port for communication between
the Nortel SNAS and the network access devices. The default is port
5000.
•
Red VLAN ID—the VLAN ID of the Red VLAN configured on the
switch.
•
username—the user name for an rwa user on the switch (required for
Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 only).
The SSH fingerprint of the switch is automatically picked up if the switch
is reachable. If the fingerprint is not successfully retrieved, you receive an
error message (
Error: Failed to retrieve host key ). After you
have added the switch, you must add or import the SSH public key for the
switch (see
“Managing SSH keys for Nortel SNAS communication” (page
71) ).
The Switch menu appears.
Figure 2 "Adding a switch manually" (page 64) shows sample output for
the /cfg/domain #/switch command and commands on the Switch
menu. For more information about the Switch menu commands, see
“Configuring the network access devices ” (page 64) .
