Overview… connecting to a chassis from the XenaManager
You connect to a chassis from the XenaManager by adding it to a testbed:
This prompts you for the IP address and password:
If the password is lost
The default value of the password is “xena”, which can be changed from the “CHASSIS PROPERTIES” panel of the XenaManager.
If the password is forgotten the following method can be used to gain access to the chassis: after power-on when the test port LEDs start flashing, for the next two minutes the chassis will accept its own serial number (which is printed on the label at the back of the chassis) as a backup password.
If the IP address is lost
The extension port is not used in normal operation. It serves as a backup with a known IP address (172.16.255.200) if the address of the management port is lost.
