Connecting the switch to the Ethernet management network Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the converged network switch, you can establish an Ethernet connection through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a remote management workstation for any additional configuration. The management workstation must be on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC. NOTE Ensure that the switch module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration is complete. Connecting the switch to the fabric Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the switch module is in NPIV or full fabric mode. This affects the configuration process. Using the switch module CLI, enter the ag -- modeShow command to determine the current operating mode. 14 Dell M8428-k Hardware Reference Manual 53-1001980-01

for more details on the commands.
Connecting the switch to the Ethernet management network
Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the converged network switch, you
can establish an Ethernet connection through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a
remote management workstation for any additional configuration. The management workstation
must be on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC.
NOTE
Ensure that the switch module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration
is complete.
Connecting the switch to the fabric
Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the switch module is in NPIV or full fabric
mode. This affects the configuration process. Using the switch module CLI, enter the
ag ––
modeShow
command to determine the current operating mode.
