Chapter 4 Fabric Switch Configuration
Two switches, two consoles
There are two separate switch portions in the Ethernet Switch Blade units, the base switch and the
fabric switch. The fabric switch handles the data traffic for the ATCA rack over ports 0-47. It
runs the Ethernet Switch Blade software. Two or four GigE connections are provided to node
cards using the ATCA backplane.
Connecting to the Fabric Switch Console
You can connect to the fabric switch console using a telnet connection or with a console
cable. Use the procedure below for a telnet connection. See Connecting to the Console Port,
for instructions.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the host and the switch. The OOB port is not active in the default
configuration. You can connect to the fabric OOB port on the front panel.
Work from a host on the 10.0.0.0 network.
The OpenArchitect switch is pre-configured with address 10.0.0.43. Telnet to 10.0.0.43.
telnet 10.0.0.43
After you are connected, enter the login name root. No password is required.

OpenArchitect Configuration Procedure
Layer 2 and Layer 3 switch configurations can be accomplished with a few simple commands.
Once you have configured your switch, the commands should be placed into a start up
configuration script. Like most Linux systems, the OpenArchitect switch boot process runs
initialization commands and scripts in /etc/init.d/. In particular, OpenArchitect runs
/etc/init.d/rcS which in turn executes all scripts located in /etc/rcZ.d starting with an
uppercase “S” in alphabetical order. Any configuration scripts you create should be named in the
standard Linux/Unix manner, starting with an uppercase “S” and numbered in the sequence you
would like them executed. The final step once the switch has been properly configured is to use
the zsync command to save all files into flash for reloading.
