Configuring NeoLinux I/Ports

NeoLinux-based I/Ports autostart the ClearCube I/Port client on bootup. The default

Administrator ID / Password is

su / clearcube

. No default user ID or Password is

provided. The Write Filter Disable command, which allows writing to flash, is

fsunlock

.

The Write Filter Enable command, which prevents writing to flash, is

fslock

.

Enable any necessary ports on your switches and routers. Sentral uses ports 6502

UDP, 4001 UDP, 9000 TCP and 9000 UDP. RDP uses port 3389 TCP and port 139

UDP. Your individual network may use other ports besides these.

NOTE: If using DHCP, verify that name resolution is activated to detect

non-Windows-based systems and that the DNS server is registering the I/Port.

NeoLinux-based I/Ports allow access to BIOS configuration options by pressing F2

during start-up. Your NeoLinux-based I/Port auto-starts the Sentral client, and you can

login to a Blade from the login screen that is displayed. If you need to log in to the

I/Port to change configurations, the default administrator ID and password is

root /

clearcube

. No default user ID is configured.

If you are using your NeoLinux-based I/Port as a client managed by Sentral, do the

following from the Sentral Console after installing the I/Port at the desktop:

1. At the Sentral console, run Discovery to discover the I/Port. If the UDP Push

Discovery parameter in the Sentral Console Configuration is set to True,

credentials for the Primary and Secondary Sentral Servers are pushed out to the

I/Port. If the UDP Push Discovery parameter is set to False, right-click on the

I/Port in the Sentral Hierarchical menu, and manually configure the Primary and

Secondary Servers.

2. Add the I/Port to an I/Port Group.
3. Allocate the I/Port or I/Port Group to a blade, a Blade Group, or a Virtual Machine

(VM).

If you are not using the Sentral client, a native RDP client is also available from the

ezConnect interface. To use the ezConnect RDP client, select Neoware Æ

ezConnect from the menu bar. The ezConnect client allows viewing and modifying

settings on the I/Port such as display settings and network configurations.

The ezConnect client can also be used to set up local or remote connections using

X.11 or

tty

. To add a local

tty

connection, do the following:

1. From the Connection window, select Connect Æ Add.
2. In the Add Connection window, choose Basic Terminal.
3. Enter a name for the session, specify

localhost

as the Host, and use the default

Port 23.

4. Use the default settings, or customize them to your choice.

The

tty

session opens in a

bash

shell, and provides a limited set of Unix tools,

including these:

ping

passwd

telnet

tar
