Setting up the Switch
The first time that you access your Server Switch, you must connect a management station, such as a PC
or Linux terminal, to the Serial Console port on your Server Switch. After you establish this connection,
you can configure the management ports on your Server Switch so that you can perform configuration
tasks with a telnet session, Element Manager, or Chassis Manager.
Note SFS Server Switch product configurations with TopspinOS release 2.3.x and higher use a 128-bit
MD5-based hashing scheme to store passwords.
