4. Enter the interface mgmt-ethernet command to enter Ethernet Management Interface
Configuration submode.
Example
Topspin-360(config)# interface mgmt-ethernet
Topspin-360(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)#
5. Enter the ip address command, then an address and subnet mask. Consult your network
administrator for an IP address. You will use this address in your Web browser to launch CM.
Example
Topspin-360(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.3.102.66 255.255.0.0
6. Enter the gateway command, then a default IP gateway. Consult your network administrator for a
gateway address.
Example
Topspin-360(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.3.0.1
7. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the Ethernet Management port.
Example

Launching Chassis Manager
CM without SSL requires no additional setup. CM with SSL requires additional steps based on
yourWeb browser.
Launching Chassis Manager without SSL
To launch CM:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Type the IP address of your Server Switch in the address field of your browser and press Enter.
Figure 2-1: CM Login Window
3. Enter your Server Switch user name and password in the login window and click the OK button.
CM loads in your browser window.
Launching Chassis Manager with SSL
SSL setups vary by browser types. The following sections explain how to launch CM with particular
browsers.
12
Netscape/Mozilla
To launch a secure CM connection:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Type https:// and the IP address of your Server Switch in the address field of your browser and
login window opens.
3. Click Yes or OK to close any browser messages. Mozilla dynamically manages your certificate.
4. Enter your Server Switch user name and password in the login window and click the OK button.
CM loads in your browser window.
Internet Explorer
To launch a secure CM connection:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Type https:// and the IP address of your Server Switch in the address field of your browser and
Security Alert window opens.
3. Click the View Certificate button. The Certificate window opens.
4. Click the Certification Path tab.
13
5. Click the root certificate in the tree.
Example
6. Click the View Certificate button.
7. Click the Install Certificate button.
8. Click the Next button.
9. Click the Place all certificates in the following store radio button.
10. Click the Browse button. The Select Certificate Store window opens.
11. Click Trusted Root Certification Authorities, then click OK.
12. Click the Next button, then click the Finish button.
Avoiding Error Messages
By default, SSL certificates map to the IP address of the Ethernet Management Port of a Server Switch.
If you enter one of the following, your browser displays an alert:
•
•
the system name of your host (that you configure with the hostname command)
the IP address of the InfiniBand Management Port of your Server Switch to launch CM.
14
The alert cautions you that the name on the certificate does not match the name of the site. This
hostname mismatch message reappears after you log in and the java applet begins to load. To avoid this
message entirely, configure your Server Switch to use the identifier that you enter in the browser to
verify certificates.
To configure the certificate name to use the system name:
1. Telnet to your Server Switch and log in as a user with administrative privileges.
Example
Login: super
Password: xxxxx
2. Enter the enable command to enter Privileged Exec mode.
Example
Topspin-270> enable
Topspin-270#
3. Enter the configure terminal command to enter Global Configuration mode.
Example
Topspin-270# configure terminal
Topspin-270(config)#
4. Enter the ip http command with the following to configure your certificates to use the system
name of your Server Switch:
•
•
the secure-cert-common-name keyword
the system name (hostname) of the Server Switch
Example
Topspin-270(config)# ip http secure-cert-common-name useSysName
Now, when you open CM with the system name of your Server Switch, error messages will not
repeatedly appear.
Logging Out of Chassis Manager
To log out of CM, close the Web browser window that displays the GUI. If you have multiple windows
open (such as the main CM window and a “properties” window), close all such windows.
Navigating Chassis Manager
The Tree frame of the Web-based interface provides a high-level map of CM. As you move from
display to display in CM, the View frame constantly reminds you where you are in the system.
When you click a branch in the Tree frame, the title of the display that appears in the View frame
matches the name of the branch. Directly below the display title appears a tiered locator that details the
level of the current display in relation to other elements of CM. For instance, when you click the Cards
branch of the Chassis icon, the following locator string appears:
A.B.C.D > Chassis > Cards
In this instance, A.B.C.D represents the IP address of your Server Switch. The tiered locator indicates
that your current display is the Cards display, which is a branch of the Chassis icon on the device with
an IP address of A.B.C.D.
15
When you further filter your display, the View frame indicates the new level of granularity. For
instance, if you view the ports on a particular gateway card instead of all ports on the device, a tiered
locator appears, followed by a filter indicator. If you view only external ports on an Ethernet gateway in
slot 4, the following identifiers appear:
A.B.C.D > Chassis > Ports
Filter : Card = 4
The second identifier indicates that the display shows only the ports on Card 4.
Moving Backward
Because no formal “move backward” function exists in CM, use one of the following options to return
to a previous display:
•
•
•
Click the Back button on your Web browser.
Right-click the View frame and select Back from the pop-up menu.
Navigate to the desired display with the Tree frame.
NOTE: When you use the Back button of your Web browser, your browser may not cache selections
that you made for a particular view. For instance, if you view the gateway ports of a card, then click a
branch in the Tree frame, your previous display may not appear correctly when you click the Back
button.
Refreshing Views
CM lets you update most displays to reflect changes that occurred since you opened the display. To
refresh your view, click the Refresh button in your display.
Understanding Access Privileges
The functionality available to you from CM varies based on the access privileges of your username. If
you do not have read access to a particular technology, the icon and branches for that technology do not
appear in your GUI. If you do not have write access to a particular technology, the configuration options
for that technology do not appear in your GUI.
Viewing Device Status
CM provides an overview of the status of the components of your Server Switch. To view the status
summary of your device, click the IP address at the top of the Tree frame. Items that appear in green
actively function. Items that appear in gray are not active. Items that appear in red are faulty or
administratively down.
