| Note: This is the gateway address the customer provided or press Enter if | none is required. | 12. Ipaddress: admin> logout | This ends the Telnet session. You have completed installation of the 2109 Model | S16 Fibre Channel Switch. | Setting the IP address | As the admin user, enter: | ipAddrSet | This command prompts the user for the following: | v Ethernet IP Address [current address shown]: [enter new address if needed] | v Ethernet Subnetmask [current]: [enter new subnet mask if needed] | v Fibre Channel IP Address [current]: [enter new address if needed] | v Fibre Channel Subnetmask [current]: [enter new subnet mask if needed] | v Gateway Address [current]: [enter new address if needed] | If the current value is acceptable, press Enter. Following entry of these values, the | switch can now be accessed using the network connection on the switch. The | switch can be managed using Telnet commands. | Managing with Telnet | To make a successful Telnet connection to a switch, the user needs: | v Switch name or IP address | v Username | v Password | Any host system that supports Telnet can be used to connect to the switch over the | Ethernet. If the host supports a name server, the switch name can be used to effect | the Telnet connection. If name service is not used to register network devices, then | the IP address is used to connect to the switch. For example: | telnet [switch_name | telnet 192.168.64.9 | When the Telnet connection is made, the user is prompted for a user name and | password. The following section defines the default user names and passwords | supplied with the switch. Both of these can be changed by the switch administrator. | Default user name | Each user name has a security level associated with it. The admin user has the | higher level of privilege. See Table 21. | Table 21. Default user name | Default user name Description | user (username 2) Provides access to any commands that do not change a | switch state, such as the version command. This level is | recommended for monitoring switch activity. | admin (username 1) Provides access to all commands in the help menu. Most | switch administration is performed at this level. | Chapter 7. Management tools 73
