For instructions on using ASYN0 and the CLI to change ETH0’s IP address,
see the Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) chapter of the SwitchBlade
Software Reference.
1. Connect a PC to ETH0
Use a straight-through Ethernet patch cable to connect your PC to ETH0 on
the master switch controller. Two straight-through Ethernet patch cables
are supplied with each chassis.
You can browse to the switch from any PC that is running a supported
operating system with a supported browser installed. JavaScript must be
enabled. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block
pop-ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed
configuration options and information in pop-up windows.
If two switch controllers are installed, and the switch has not yet been connected to a
power supply, the switch controller in Bay A will assume master controller status. In all
cases the master controller is the controller whose Master LED is lit.
2. Access the GUI
Assign the PC an IP address in the 192.168.242.0 subnet.
If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to
bypass the proxy for 192.168.242.242.
Point your web browser at 192.168.242.242.
3. Log in
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.
User Name: manager
Password: friend
The system status page appears and you can now use the GUI to configure
the switch controller.
To ensure configuration settings are saved correctly, use the GUI pages’ menus and
buttons to navigate, not your browser’s buttons.
As a security precaution, change the password and default IP address as soon
as possible.
To change the password, select Management > Users from the sidebar
menu. Select the Manager account and click Modify.
To change ETH0’s IP address, select Configuration > System >
Management from the sidebar menu.
4. To access context-sensitive help
