For instructions on using ASYN0 and the CLI to change ETH0’s IP address,
see the “Graphical User Interface” section in the “Operations” 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.
The PC should be running Internet Explorer version 5.x, with JavaScript
enabled. A copy of Internet Explorer can be found on the Documentation
and Tools CD-ROM that is bundled with every chassis and every switch
controller.
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.
