Connect to a Fabric Interconnect F1-4's Management Module

The procedure in this section documents using a serial connection to the Fabric Interconnect's management port. However, a default address is set for the Management port (192.168.1.1), so you can also use an Ethernet connection for initial configuration of the Fabric Interconnect.

To connect to the Management Module on a Fabric Interconnect F1-4:

  1. Connect a laptop or a remote console to the Serial 1 port on the Management module. (This connection is required for the initial system configuration.) See Fabric Interconnect F1-4 Management Module for Connection to Management Console.

    image:Figure shows the Auxiliary port left of the Management Port in the top row, above Serial 2, Serial 1, and USB ports.

    There are two ways to connect to the serial port on the Fabric Interconnect Management module:

    • Connect directly to the Serial 1 port on the Management module. This step requires an adaptor that supports straight-through CAT-5 cable (or the equivalent). See Connecting the Management Port to a DB9 Serial Port.
    • Connect a remote system to the Serial 1 port using a serial console terminal concentrator (for example, Cyclades).
  2. Verify that the serial port on your system is set up as follows:
    • 115200 baud
    • 8 bits, no parity
    • VT100 encoding
    • 1 stop bit

      Note - The Serial 2 port is used for debug purposes only.
