Logging In to the Switch

To log in to a switch through Telnet, do the following:

1. Open a command line window on the workstation and enter the Telnet

command followed by the switch IP address. The IP address can be one of

the following:

 4-byte IP version 4 address

 16-byte IP version 6 address

password: xxxxxxxx

The following warning appears when you log in for the first time:

Warning: Your user account password has not been changed

It is strongly recommended that you do so before

proceeding

To log off, enter the Exit command:

SANbox #> exit

To log in to a switch through the serial port, do the following:

1. Configure the workstation port with the following settings:

 9600 baud

 8-bit character

Opening and Closing an Admin Session

The command line interface performs monitoring and configuration tasks.

Commands that perform monitoring tasks are available to all user accounts.

Commands that perform configuration tasks are available only after entering the

Admin Start command to open an Admin session. A user account must have

Admin authority to enter the Admin Start command.

The following is an example of how to open and close an Admin session:

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #>

.

SANbox (admin) #> admin end

NOTE:

A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins or sessions, which are

reserved as follows. Additional logins will be refused.

 4 logins or sessions for internal applications such as management

server and SNMP

 9 high priority Telnet sessions

 6 logins or sessions for Enterprise Fabric Suite™ 2007, QuickTools™,

Application Programming Interface (API), and Telnet.

Entering Commands

The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands

easier. Table 1-1 describes the command-line completion keystrokes.

Getting Help

To display help for a command, enter the Help command followed by the

command you are inquiring about. The following is an example of the help that is

available for the Config Edit command.

SANbox #> help config edit

config edit [CONFIG_NAME]

This command initiates a configuration session and places the current session

into config edit mode.

If CONFIG_NAME is given and it exists, it gets edited; otherwise, it gets

created. If it is not given, the currently active configuration is edited.

Admin mode is required for this command.

Usage: config edit [CONFIG_NAME]
