Complete the steps in this guide to install and setup a management connection to your Brocade 5100 switch, and to enable
Access Gateway mode.
ATTENTION
When you enable Access Gateway mode, you disable the ability for the Brocade 5100 to operate as a switch. Access Gateway
mode and switch mode are mutually exclusive. If you want to use the Brocade 5100 as a switch at a later time, you will need to
disable Access Gateway mode and enable switch mode. Changing between Access Gateway and Switch modes is a data
disruptive operation. It is strongly recommended that you disable the switch from the command line interface before enabling
or disabling Access Gateway mode.
Getting Ready
Before you start the installation and setup of your switch, ensure the following items are available.
Configure a Terminal Emulation Program on the Setup Computer
Configure a terminal emulation program on the setup computer, such as HyperTerminal for Windows computers, or TERM for
UNIX computers, and establish a terminal session. The COM port properties are:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Power up and connect cables to the switch
1.Connect the power cord to the switch and then to the
power source. The power and status LEDs display amber
then green. This can take from one to 3 minutes.
2.Get an Ethernet hub.
3.Connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the LAN
through an Ethernet hub.
4.Attach a serial cable from the RJ45 console port on the
switch to the COM port on the setup computer.
5.Connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the setup
computer.
6.Attach an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet hub to the
LAN/WAN.
7.From the setup computer, start a terminal session.
8.Log in as administrator, using the default user name and
password. The default user name is admin. The default
password is password.
Ensure all POD licenses are present and enabled
1. Enter LicensePort - -Show at the terminal application prompt to display the port licensing assignments. POD licenses must
be present and enabled for all 40 ports to enable Access Gateway on the Brocade 5100 switch. If all ports are not enabled,
refer to the EZswitchSetup Administrator’s Guide for instructions on how to enable port licenses.
Set the switch IP address
1. Enter ipadderset at the terminal application prompt.
Prompts are displayed for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, and Gateway IP address.
2. Enter the addresses you want to use for your installation
3. Enter y at the Set IP Address Now? prompt, and press Enter to commit the IP address changes.
After the configuration changes are committed, you are returned to the terminal application prompt.
1 A setup computer.with a serial COM port, running either a Microsoft Windows or a UNIX operating system.
2 A serial cable with an RJ45 connector on one end to attach to the Brocade 5100, and a connector that works on the setup computer’s serial
port on the other end.
3 Have the correct Ethernet addressing information available. You may write the addresses below for reference.
