By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the Brocade VDX 8770-8 configuration using a serial
session, Telnet, or management application, such as Brocade Network Advisor.
NOTE
To protect the Ethernet port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
Perform the following steps to establish an Ethernet connection to the Brocade VDX 8770-8.
1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active MM.
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100/1000 BaseT LAN.
The Brocade VDX 8770-8 can be accessed through a remote connection using the command line by way of
Telnet or any of the management tools, such as Brocade Network Advisor.
4. To complete any additional Brocade VDX 8770-8 configuration procedures through a Telnet session, log in to the
Brocade VDX 8770-8 by Telnet using the admin login. The default password is password.
Customizing a host name
This procedure is optional.
While still in Telnet you can change the host (switch) name of the switch. The host name of the Brocade VDX 8770-8
can be up to 30 characters long using Network OS release 3.0.0 or later, can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and
underscore characters, and must begin with a letter. The default host name is “sw0.” The host name is displayed at
the system prompt.
1. Enter switch-attributes followed by the Rbridge ID and the host-name operand with the new name.
If you have changed the Rbridge ID, be sure to use that ID.
switch(config)# switch-attributes 1 host-name rack1_8770_8
2. Record the new name for reference.
3. To verify the new host name you can run the show running-config command in EXEC mode.
switch# show running-config
Customizing a chassis name
This procedure is optional.
While still in Telnet you can change the chassis name of the switch. The chassis name of the Brocade VDX 8770-8
can be up to 30 characters long; can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscore characters; and must begin
with a letter. The default chassis name is “VDX8770-8.”
Brocade recommends that you customize the chassis name for each platform because some of the system logs
refer to the platorm by its chassis name.
1. Enter switch-attributes followed by the Rbridge ID and the chassis-name operand with the new chassis name.
If you have changed the rbridge-ID, be sure to use that ID.
