This section explains how to change LAN switch blade or LAN switch (L2 switch) basic settings.
The following settings can be changed.
LAN switch name or Network device name (Node name for management)
Management port (only when using the Converged Fabric mode of LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2)
Admin LAN (IP address)
User ID (LAN switch blade only)
Password (LAN switch blade only)
Privileged password (LAN switch blade only)
Connection method (LAN switch blade only)
SNMP community name
To modify settings other than those listed above, use the methods explained in "7.6 Changing Network Device Settings".
Note
When changing LAN switch settings as follows due to a configuration change, delete the registered LAN switch blade and register it again.
For a LAN switch blade PY CB DCB SW 10Gb 18/6+6
When changing from VCS to another mode, or vice versa
Changing VCS ID or RBridge ID
For a LAN switch blade PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2
Changing Fabric ID, Domain ID or Switch ID
When changing the mode
For a LAN switch blade PY CB 10Gb FEX Nexus B22, only the LAN switch name or the network device name can be configured.
For a LAN switch (L2 switch), "LAN switch name" is displayed as "Network device name".
Complete the changes to the settings on the target LAN switch blade or LAN switch (L2 switch) before performing this procedure.
Use the following procedure to change LAN switch blade or LAN switch (L2 switch) settings:
In the ROR console server resource tree or network resource device tree, right-click the target LAN switch (L2 switch) name and select [Modify]-[Registration Settings] from the popup menu.
The [Modify LAN Switch] dialog or the [Modify Network Device] dialog is displayed.
Make changes to the values as needed.
Click the [OK] button.
The settings for the LAN switch (L2 switch) are changed with the entered information.
Note
It is possible to set the IP address of the target LAN switch (L2 switch) to another unregistered LAN switch (L2 switch). However, this will result in the Resource Orchestrator configuration being inconsistent with the actual network configuration.
If the IP address of the target LAN switch (L2 switch) is unintentionally set to the same address as that of another device, change back the IP address of the target LAN switch (L2 switch) to its original value according to the instructions given in this section.
If there are more than one LAN switch (L2 switch) with inconsistent IP address configurations, delete all registered LAN switches (L2 switches) according to "9.4.2 Deleting Network Devices" first, then perform discovery and registration of network devices again according to "5.13 Registering LAN Switches (L2 Switches)".
SSH connection (SSH version 2) can be selected for the following LAN switch blades.
