Manually configuring HPE FlexFabric 5900 (Management) switch

Prerequisites

  • Configure iLO-OOBM gateway in the customer infrastructure switch.

  • Retrieve the following parameters of the HPE FlexFabric 5900 switch from the Input JSON file:

    • Name of the switch

    • Password of the default administrator user

    • VLAN ID of the iLO-OOBM network

    • iLO OOBM IP address and iLO-OOBM netmask

Procedure
  1. Connect the switch to the computer using the console cable that is provided with the switch, and power on the switch.

    For more information about using the switch, see HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series Installation Guide available at: https://techlibrary.hpe.com/device_help/H3C-Manuals/5900/5900-Installation-Guide(20111231).pdf

  2. Run the following commands at the switch prompt:
    NOTE:
