To register a LAN switch blade, its enclosing chassis must be registered first.
Use the following procedure to register a LAN switch blade.
In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click an unregistered LAN switch blade from the target chassis, and select [Register]-[LAN Switch] from the popup menu.
The [Register LAN Switch] dialog is displayed.
To use this feature, the following settings must first be defined:
Enter the name to assign to this LAN switch blade.
Enter up to 15 characters, including alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Enter the admin LAN IP address that was set on this LAN switch blade.
Enter the IP address using periods ".".
Enter the name of a telnet user account that can log in to this LAN switch blade.
Enter the password of the above telnet user account.
Enter the password of this LAN switch blade's telnet administrator account.
If the user ID and the password of the administrator account for the LAN switch blade were set in [User ID] and [Password], simply re-enter the same password in this field. In this case, Resource Orchestrator does not check whether the password entered here matches the password set on the LAN switch blade.
Enter the SNMP community that was set on this LAN switch blade.
Either select [public] or enter an arbitrary string.
Enter a string of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Click <OK>.
The registered LAN switch blade will be displayed in the server resource tree.
Note
A telnet connection is made when registering a LAN switch blade.
When telnet connection is disabled, enable it.
Refer to the manual of the relevant product.
Some models may have restrictions regarding the number of simultaneous connections. In this case, log out from other telnet connections.
If telnet is unavailable, the following features are also unavailable.
Registration of LAN switch blades
Changing of LAN switch blade settings
Changing and setting the VLAN for LAN switch blades (internal and external connection ports)
Restoration of LAN switch blades
