7.3.3 Registering LAN Switch Blades

To register a LAN switch blade, its enclosing chassis must be registered first.

Use the following procedure to register a LAN switch blade.

  1. 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.

  2. To use this feature, the following settings must first be defined:

    LAN switch name

    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 ("-").

    Admin LAN (IP address)

    Enter the admin LAN IP address that was set on this LAN switch blade.
    Enter the IP address using periods ".".

    User ID

    Enter the name of a telnet or SSH user account that can log in to this LAN switch blade.

    Password

    Enter the password of the above telnet or SSH user account.

    Connection method

    Select either [Telnet] or [SSH]. The default setting is [Telnet].

    Administrative password

    Enter the password of this LAN switch blade's telnet or SSH 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.

    SNMP Community

    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 ("-").

  3. Click <OK>.

    The registered LAN switch blade will be displayed in the server resource tree.

Note

A telnet or SSH connection is made when registering a LAN switch blade.
When telnet or SSH (SSH version 2) connection is disabled, enable it.
