Description
External management access to the NG-8040 layer 2-7 switch has to be enabled through the Chassis Management Console.
Symptoms
Web GUI, telnet or secure shell connections cannot be established.
Cause
External access is disabled by default and has to be enabled explicitly.
Solution
In the Blade center management console select I/O module tasks -> Configuration
Navigate to the relevant bay (the slot where the L2-7 switch is installed) and select "Advanced Configuration"
Enable "External management over all ports" in the section "Advanced Setup" and save this setting.
Now it is possible to access the switch through web GUI, telnet or SSH, if configured.
