Chapter 2 Installing Cisco MDS NX-OS and Fabric Manager Initial Setup Routine Send documentation comments to [email protected] Caution If you do not save the configuration at this point, none of your changes are updated the next time the switch is rebooted. Type yes to save the new configuration. This ensures that the kickstart and system images are also automatically configured (see Chapter 15, "Software Images"). Configuring In-Band Management The in-band management logical interface is VSAN 1. This management interface uses the Fibre Channel infrastructure to transport IP traffic. An interface for VSAN 1 is created on every switch in the fabric. Each switch should have its VSAN 1 interface configured with an IP address in the same subnetwork. A default route that points to the switch providing access to the IP network should be configured on every switch in the Fibre Channel fabric (see Chapter 26, "Configuring and Managing VSANs"). Note You can configure both in-band and out-of-band configuration together by entering Yes in both Step 9c and Step 9d in the following procedure. To configure a switch for first time in-band access, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Power on the switch. Switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family boot automatically.
