Configuring FlexFabric 5900 Management switch

Prerequisites

Retrieve the following parameters of the 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

  • Configure iLO-OOBM gateway in the customer core switch

  • 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 Powering on the switch for the first time in the HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series Installation Guide here;

    http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/device_help/H3C-Manuals/5900/5900-Installation-Guide(20111231).pdf
  2. At the switch prompt run the following commands:
    NOTE:

    Ensure to replace the sample data in the following configuration with the valid data from the Input JSON file.
