3. Reboot the CP card by entering the reboot command at the prompt. CAUTION: The terminal serial port can be used to monitor error messages through a serial connection. HP does not recommend using the terminal serial port as a command interface during normal operations. If this port is not going to be in ongoing use, remove the serial cable and protect the port from dust by replacing the shipping cap. Establish an Ethernet connection After using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the Core Switch 2/64 or the SAN Director 2/128 (see "Configure IP addresses for CP cards" on page 56 and "Configure IP address for the switch" on page 57), you can connect the active CP card to the local area network (LAN) if desired. NOTE: HP recommends connecting the CP cards to a private network/VLAN. By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the switch configuration using either the serial session or a telnet session. However, you must ensure that the Core Switch 2/64 or the SAN Director 2/128 are not modified from other connections at the same time. To establish an Ethernet connection to the switch, follow these steps: 1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active CP card. 2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port. 3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN. The Core Switch 2/64 or the SAN Director 2/128 can now be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools, such as telnet or the optional Fabric Manager application. 4. To complete any additional switch configuration procedures through a telnet session, log in to the switch by telnet, using the admin login. The default password is password. 58 Installing and configuring the switch

3.
Reboot the CP card by entering the
reboot
command at the prompt.
CAUTION:
The terminal serial port can be used to monitor error messages through a serial
connection. HP does not recommend using the terminal serial port as a command interface
during normal operations. If this port is not going to be in ongoing use, remove the serial cable
and protect the port from dust by replacing the shipping cap.
Establish an Ethernet connection
After using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the Core Switch 2/64 or the
SAN Director 2/128 (see ”
Configure IP addresses for CP cards
” on page 56 and ”
Configure
IP address for the switch
” on page 57), you can connect the active CP card to the local area
network (LAN) if desired.
NOTE:
HP recommends connecting the CP cards to a private network/VLAN.
By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the switch configuration using either
the serial session or a telnet session. However, you must ensure that the Core Switch 2/64 or
the SAN Director 2/128 are not modified from other connections at the same time.
To establish an Ethernet connection to the switch, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active CP card.
2.
Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3.
Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN.
The Core Switch 2/64 or the SAN Director 2/128 can now be accessed by remote
connection using any of the available management tools, such as telnet or the optional
Fabric Manager application.
4.
To complete any additional switch configuration procedures through a telnet session, log in
to the switch by telnet, using the admin login. The default password is
password
