Invoking the X-Loader and U-Boot CLIs, Reconfiguring Default Settings

Page 21 highlights

Invoking the X-Loader and U-Boot CLIs During the boot process, you can perform various configuration tasks by accessing the X-Loader and U-Boot CLIs, such as running memory tests (X-Loader) and activating the backup image or recovering a password (U-Boot). You are first prompted to enter the X-Loader CLI by pressing any key when the following message is displayed: Hit any key to stop autoboot. If you do not press a key, the boot process continues and you are prompted to enter the U-Boot CLI by pressing any key. After performing any of the X-Loader or U-Boot tasks, the switch automatically reboots when you exit a CLI. To continue with the boot process without entering either CLI, do not press a key. Reconfiguring Default Settings The I/O Aggregator provides zero-touch configuration with: • default user name (root) • password (calvin) • VLAN (vlan1) and IP address for in-band management (DHCP) • IP address for out-of-band (OOB) management (DHCP) • read-only SNMP community name (public) • broadcast storm control (enabled) • IGMP multicast flooding (enabled) • VLAN configuration (all ports belong to all VLANs) You can change any of these default settings using the CLI. You can change many of the default settings using the CMC interface as described in "Reconfiguration Using the CLI" on page 22. Installing and Configuring the Aggregator 21
