2.5
Quick Start
This section gives instructions for (initially) accessing the CLI (Command Line Interface) of the CP6924 using either in-band
access via the ethernet fabric or the out-of-band management interfaces (serial port or Gigabit Ethernet) accessible from
the front plate serial connector or via an appropriate RIO module. The CLI is required for configuring the GbE switch.
2.5.1
Out-of-Band CLI Access
The CLI can be accessed via serial port (using the front plate connector and provided adapter or an appropriate RIO module)
or Gigabit Ethernet (via the front plate RJ45 connector).
2.5.1.1
Serial Port
The serial port is ready to use offhand without further configuration.
Port settings are:
• 115200 bps (serial speed might be different for customized board variants)
• 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1)
• no flow control
2.5.1.2
Gigabit Ethernet Serviceport
The Gigabit Ethernet serviceport on the CP6924 front plate has no IP address set by default, it is necessary to assign an IP
address statically or enable dhcp on the serviceport. Because the required configuration steps are done in the CLI, an initial
access using the serial port is required.
The procedure for assigning an IP address to the serviceport is described in the following. User input is printed in bold let-
ters.
1. Connect to serial port on the front plate (using the Kontron DB9 adapter cable) or RIO module (using a RJ45 straight
cable).
2. Ensure that the board is powered up.
3. Log in as
admin
and enter privileged mode by typing ’
enable
’ (no passwords required by default).

4. Set IP address and netmask. (see below for an example IP address setting)
(Ethernet Fabric) #
serviceport ip 192.168.50.107 255.255.255.0
The GbE management interface is available from now on.
Alternatively, DHCP can be set for the serviceport
(Ethernet Fabric) #
serviceport protocol dhcp
An IP address will be assigned to the serviceport by a DHCP server.
