Configure a Subnet Manager (Toolbox CLI)

1. In the Toolbox CLI, disable the Subnet Manager to be configured.

   See Enable or Disable a Subnet Manager (Toolbox CLI).

2. Configure the Subnet Manager.

   [toolbox-cli] set sm name=name|ip=IP_address -priority=priority|-controlledhandover={TRUE|FALSE}|-prefix=prefix|-mkey=M_Key

   where:

   • name is the host name of the switch hosting the Subnet Manager.

   • IP_address is the IP addres of the management controller of the switch.

   • priority is the Subnet Manager priority.

   • prefix is the Subnet Manager prefix.

   • M_Key is the management key.

   For example, to set the priority to 3, disable controlled handover, and set the management key to 0xa00000000001 for the Subnet Manager with name nsn156-102, type:

   [toolbox-cli] set sm name=nsn156-102 -priority=3 -controlledhandover=FALSE -mkey=0xa00000000001
   [toolbox-cli]

3. Verify the configuration changes.

   [toolbox-cli] show sm all
