Quick Startup

This chapter describes the procedures that enable you to quickly become acquainted with the FASTPATH software.

This chapter includes the following topics:

Starting the Switch

System Info and System Setup

Starting the Switch

1. Read the Sun Netra CT 900 Server Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure.

In-band connectivity enables access to the FASTPATH software locally or from a remote workstation. The device must be configured with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).

2. Turn the power on to the server.

Refer to the Sun Netra CT 900 Server Installation Guide for more information.

3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears.

The device initial state is called the default mode.

4. When the prompt asks for operator login, execute these steps:

a. Type the word admin in the login area.

Since a number of the Quick Setup commands require administrator account rights, you should log in to an administrator account. Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.

b. Press Enter twice.

The CLI User EXEC prompt is displayed.

At this point, you have several options:

Type enable to switch to the Privileged EXEC mode from User EXEC.

Type configure to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC.

Type exit to return to the previous mode.

TABLE 3-1 Displaying the Software Version Information
Command	Command Mode	Details
`show hardware`	Privileged EXEC	Allows the user to see the software version that the device contains `Machine Model` (The type and number of ports that the device provides) For example: `Machine Model....................2402 24 = 24 10/100 ports 02 = 2 Uplink ports on back of switch`

TABLE 3-2 Displaying the Physical Port Data
Command	Command Mode	Details
`show port all`	Privileged EXEC	Displays the ports: Slot/port Type - Indicates if the port is a special type of port Admin Mode - Selects the Port Control Administration State Physical Mode - Selects the desired port speed and duplex mode Physical Status - Indicates the port speed and duplex mode Link Status - Indicates whether the link is up or down Link Trap - Determines whether or not to send a trap when link status changes LACP Mode - Displays whether LACP is enabled or disabled on this port

TABLE 3-3 Managing the User Accounts
Command	Command Mode	Details
`show users`	Privileged EXEC	Displays all of the users that are allowed to access the switch: Access Mode - Shows whether the user is able to change parameters on the switch (read/write) or is only able to view them (read only). As a factory default, the `admin` user has read/write access and the `guest` user has read only access. There can only be one read/write user and up to five read only users.
`show loginsession`	User EXEC	Displays all of the login session information.
`users passwd` [username]	Global Config	Allows the user to set passwords or change passwords needed to log in. A prompt appears after the command is entered requesting the user’s old password. In the absence of an old password, leave the area blank. The operator must press Enter to execute the command. The system prompts the user for a new password and then displays a prompt to confirm the new password. If the new password and the confirmed password match, a message is displayed. User password’s should not be more than eight characters in length.
`copy system: running-config` `nvram: startup-config`	Privileged EXEC	Saves passwords and all other changes to the device. If you do not save the configuration with this command, all configurations are lost when a power cycle is performed on the switch or when the switch is reset.
`logout`	User EXEC and Privileged EXEC	Logs the user out of the switch.

Managing IP Addresses

To view the network parameters, the operator can access the device by the following methods.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Telnet

Note - You should run copy system:running-config nvram:startup-configafter configuring the network parameters so that the configurations are not lost. Refer to TABLE 3-8 on “Invalid Cross-Reference Format” for more information.

TABLE 3-4 Displaying IP Address Information
Command	Command Mode	Details
`show network`	User EXEC	Displays the network configurations: IP Address - IP address of the interface (default IP is `0.0.0.0`). Subnet Mask - IP subnet mask for the interface (default is `0.0.0.0`). Default Gateway - The default gateway for this interface (default value is `0.0.0.0`). Burned in MAC Address - The burned in MAC address used for in-band connectivity. Locally Administered MAC Address - If configured to allow a locally administered MAC address. MAC Address Type - Specifies which MAC address should be used for in-band connectivity. Network Configurations Protocol Current - Indicates which network protocol is being used (default is none). Management VLAN Id - Specifies VLAN ID. Web Mode - Indicates whether HTTP/Web is enabled. Java Mode - Indicates whether Java mode is enabled.
`network parms`	Privileged EXEC	Sets the network parameters <ipaddr> <netmask> [gateway]: IP address ranges from `0.0.0.0` to `255.255.255.255` Subnet mask ranges from `0.0.0.0` to `255.255.255.255` Gateway address ranges from `0.0.0.0` to `255.255.255.255`

TABLE 3-5 Uploading IP Address Information From Switch to Out-of-Band PC (XMODEM)
Command	Details
`copy {nvram:startup-config \| nvram:errorlog \| nvram:msglog \| nvram: traplog`} [url]	The types are: Config - Configuration file Errorlog - Error log System trace - System trace Traplog - Trap log The URL must be specified as: `Xmodem:filepath/filename` This starts the upload, displays the mode of uploading and the type of upload it is, and confirms the upload is taking place. For example: If the user is using HyperTerminal, the user must specify where the file will be received by the PC.

TABLE 3-6 Downloading IP Address Information From Out-of-Band PC to Switch (Only XMODEM)
Command	Details
`copy [`url] `{nvram:startup-config \| system:image}`	Sets the destination (download) data type to be an image (`system:image`) or a configuration file (`nvram:startup-config`). The URL must be specified as: `Xmodem:filepath/filename` For example: If the user is using HyperTerminal, the user must specify which file is to be sent to the switch. The switch restarts automatically once the code has been downloaded.

Before starting a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server download, the operator must complete the Quick Startup for the IP address.

TABLE 3-7 Downloading IP Address Information from TFTP Server
Command	Details
`copy [`url] `{nvram:startup-config \| system:image}`	Sets the destination (download) data type to be an image (`system:image`) or a configuration file (`nvram:startup-config`). The URL must be specified as: `tftp://ipAddr/filepath/filename.` The `nvram:startup-config` option downloads the configuration file using `tftp,` and the `system:image` option downloads the code file.

TABLE 3-8 Factory Defaults for IP Address Information
Command	Details
`clear config`	To clear all the configurations made to the switch, enter `yes` when the prompt appears.
`copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config`	When the prompt asks if you want to save the configurations made to the switch, enter `yes`.
`reload` (or cold boot the switch)	When the prompt asks if you want to reset the system, enter `yes`. Users can choose whether to reset the switch or cold boot the switch. Both work effectively.
