Flex Enterprise chassis 8721 - Configuring the chassis by using the Flex System Manager management node

After you use the Chassis Management Module to establish user accounts and to configure IP addresses for the CMM and the I/O modules, you can use the Flex System Manager management node to configure the remaining chassis end points, if one is installed. Follow the instructions in this section to establish a connection to the Flex System Manager management node and use the management software to complete the chassis configuration.

Note:

You must choose the cryptography mode (NIST 800-131A compliant or not) during the FSM setup wizard. The FSM cryptography mode cannot be changed without a fresh installation. See Implementing a NIST 800-131a compliant environment for more information.
If the chassis does not have an Flex System Manager management node installed, you must use the CMM to complete the chassis configuration (see Configuring the chassis by using the CMM).

Connect to the Flex System Manager management node in any of the following ways:

Remotely, using the host name (see Connecting to the management node remotely by using the host name).
Remotely, using the static IP address (see Connecting to the management node remotely by using the static IP address).
Locally, using the console breakout cable (see Connecting to the management node locally by using the console breakout cable).
