2.6 Quick Start
This section gives instructions for (initially) accessing the CLI (Command Line Interface) of the AT8404 using
either in-band access via the BI or the out-of-band management interfaces (serial port or Fast Ethernet)
accessible from the front plate serial connector or via an appropriate RTM. The CLI is required for configuring
the GbE switch, as well as the storage interconnect.
2.6.1 In-Band CLI Access
The GbE switch on the AT8404 is pre-configured with a management VLAN. This VLAN is accessible over the
BI. Telnet accesses to port 23 of this VLAN connect to the CLI. The VLAN is configured for DHCP and retrieves
its IP address automatically when a DHCP server is found in the network. The procedure to obtain the issued
IP from the DHCP server is beyond the scope of this document.
The management VLAN is configured with VLAN ID 1. The following Ethernet ports are members of the man-
agement VLAN ID 1 by default:
• Interface 0/23 connected to base interface switch in ATCA logical slot 1
• Interface 0/5, 0/10, 0/15, 0/20 connected to AMC bay B4, B3, B2, B1 on port 0
Thus connectivity to the management VLAN ID 1 is by default possible through the base interface switch in
ATCA chassis logical slot 1.
For more information on the management VLAN and how to assign a fixed IP address, refer to the AT8404 CLI
Reference Manual.
2.6.2 Out-of-band CLI Access
The CLI can also be accessed via serial port (using the front plate connector and provided cable or an appro-
priate RTM like the RTM8030) or Fast Ethernet (only via RTM). The serial port is ready to use offhand without
further configuration.
To connect to the CLI via the Fast Ethernet serviceport on the RTM, a telnet session must be established to
the IP address of this interface, port 23.
Using the default configuration, it is necessary to assign an IP address statically to the serviceport. Because
the required configuration steps are done in the CLI, an initial access using the serial port or in-band con-
nectivity via the BI is required. The procedure for assigning an IP address to the serviceport is described in
the following. User input is printed in bold letters.
1. Connect to serial port on the front plate (using the Kontron DB9 adapter cable) or RTM (using a RJ45
straight cable).
Port settings are:
• 115200 bps (serial speed might be different for customized board variants)
• 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1)
• no flow control
2. Ensure that the board is powered up.
