Installing and Setting Up the OneC-A-600 Hardware Appliance

To install and set up the OneC-A-600:

  1. Unpack, mount, and connect the OneC-A-600 to power (see the OneC-A-600 Quick Reference, shipped in the box).
  2. Perform the initial configuration (sets network information, time/date, interfaces, log servers, and SNMP). There are three ways to do this:
    • Via serial port, and then run the command line wizard.
    • Via management port using SSH, and then run the command line wizard.
    • Via management port using HTTP, log on to OneController GUI, and then make change through the GUI setup wizard.
    Through serial port:
    1. Connect to the serial port with a computer (for location of serial port, see OneC-A-600 Quick Reference).
    2. Run a terminal emulation program (for example, PuTTY).
    3. Log on using: username = admin; password = abc123. The command line configuration wizard starts automatically to guide you through the configuration.
    Through management port using SSH:
    1. Connect to the management port with a computer (for location of management port, see OneC-A-600 Quick Reference). Connector type = RJ45; speed/serial port parameter setting = 115200 8N1.

    2. Configure the computer's Ethernet port with a statically assigned, unused IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet.
    3. Connect using SSH to 192.168.10.1 (OneC-A-600's default IP address), and then log on using: username = admin; password = abc123. The command line configuration wizard starts automatically to guide you through the configuration.
    Through management port using HTTP:
    1. Connect to the management port with a computer (for location of management port, see OneC-A-600 Quick Reference).
    2. Configure the computer's Ethernet port with a statically assigned, unused IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet.
    3. Log on to the OneController GUI (see Logging On to the OneController GUI) using IP address 192.168.10.1 (OneC-A-600's default IP address).
    4. Use the OneController Setup menu to configure network information, time/date, etc. (see Changing System Settings).
  3. Upgrade the pre-installed OneController software, if needed. To ensure that you have the latest version of the OneController software, compare the version installed on your One-Controller-A-600 hardware appliance versus the latest version available on the Extreme Networks website:
    1. If you are not already connected, log on to the OneController GUI (see Logging On to the OneController GUI) using IP address 192.168.10.1 (OneC-A-600's default IP address) or the IP address that you set in step 2.
    2. Check the currently installed version of the OneController software displayed in the Manufacturing Information report (see Viewing OneController Reports).
    3. Check the latest available version of the OneController software by going to https://extranet.extremenetworks.com/downloads/Pages/OneController.aspx, and then click the Software tab.
    4. If the pre-installed software is out of date, upgrade it (see Upgrading OneController).
