About Chassis Manager  
The following sections appear in this chapter:  
Introduction  
The Chassis Manager (CM) runs directly on your switch to help you quickly and easily perform various  
administration tasks. This chapter discusses the various components of the interface. CM runs on all  
switches.  
Anatomy of Chassis Manager  
CM runs in a standard Web browser and displays information in standard HTML formats. The GUI  
consists primarily of the following three frames:  
System frame  
Tree frame  
View frame  
System Frame  
The System frame appears above the Tree and View frames and provides basic system information and  
links to FRUs. Figure 1-1 displays an example of the CM System frame.

Avoiding Error Messages  
By default, SSL certificates map to the IP address of the Ethernet Management Port of a Server Switch.  
If you enter one of the following, your browser displays an alert:  
the system name of your host (that you configure with the hostname command)  
the IP address of the InfiniBand Management Port of your Server Switch to launch CM.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
14  
The alert cautions you that the name on the certificate does not match the name of the site. This  
hostname mismatch message reappears after you log in and the java applet begins to load. To avoid this  
message entirely, configure your Server Switch to use the identifier that you enter in the browser to  
verify certificates.  
To configure the certificate name to use the system name:  
1. Telnet to your Server Switch and log in as a user with administrative privileges.  
Example  
Login: super  
Password: xxxxx  
2. Enter the enable command to enter Privileged Exec mode.  
Example  
Topspin-270> enable  
Topspin-270#  
3. Enter the configure terminal command to enter Global Configuration mode.  
Example  
Topspin-270# configure terminal  
Topspin-270(config)#  
4. Enter the ip http command with the following to configure your certificates to use the system  
name of your Server Switch:  
the secure-cert-common-name keyword  
the system name (hostname) of the Server Switch  
Example  
Topspin-270(config)# ip http secure-cert-common-name useSysName  
Now, when you open CM with the system name of your Server Switch, error messages will not  
repeatedly appear.  
Logging Out of Chassis Manager  
To log out of CM, close the Web browser window that displays the GUI. If you have multiple windows  
open (such as the main CM window and a “properties” window), close all such windows.  
Navigating Chassis Manager  
The Tree frame of the Web-based interface provides a high-level map of CM. As you move from  
display to display in CM, the View frame constantly reminds you where you are in the system.  
When you click a branch in the Tree frame, the title of the display that appears in the View frame  
matches the name of the branch. Directly below the display title appears a tiered locator that details the  
level of the current display in relation to other elements of CM. For instance, when you click the Cards  
branch of the Chassis icon, the following locator string appears:  
A.B.C.D > Chassis > Cards  
In this instance, A.B.C.D represents the IP address of your Server Switch. The tiered locator indicates  
that your current display is the Cards display, which is a branch of the Chassis icon on the device with  
an IP address of A.B.C.D.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
15  
When you further filter your display, the View frame indicates the new level of granularity. For  
instance, if you view the ports on a particular gateway card instead of all ports on the device, a tiered  
locator appears, followed by a filter indicator. If you view only external ports on an Ethernet gateway in  
slot 4, the following identifiers appear:  
A.B.C.D > Chassis > Ports  
Filter : Card = 4  
The second identifier indicates that the display shows only the ports on Card 4.  
Moving Backward  
Because no formal “move backward” function exists in CM, use one of the following options to return  
to a previous display:  
Click the Back button on your Web browser.  
Right-click the View frame and select Back from the pop-up menu.  
Navigate to the desired display with the Tree frame.  
NOTE: When you use the Back button of your Web browser, your browser may not cache selections  
that you made for a particular view. For instance, if you view the gateway ports of a card, then click a  
branch in the Tree frame, your previous display may not appear correctly when you click the Back  
button.  
Refreshing Views  
CM lets you update most displays to reflect changes that occurred since you opened the display. To  
refresh your view, click the Refresh button in your display.  
Understanding Access Privileges  
The functionality available to you from CM varies based on the access privileges of your username. If  
you do not have read access to a particular technology, the icon and branches for that technology do not  
appear in your GUI. If you do not have write access to a particular technology, the configuration options  
for that technology do not appear in your GUI.  
Viewing Device Status  
CM provides an overview of the status of the components of your Server Switch. To view the status  
summary of your device, click the IP address at the top of the Tree frame. Items that appear in green  
actively function. Items that appear in gray are not active. Items that appear in red are faulty or  
administratively down.

to determine the link rate between two nodes. The value is 1  
(1x), 2 (4x), or 8 (12x).  
Link Speed Supported  
State  
Supported link speed. The value is 1 (2.5 Gbps).  
A higher form of addressing than PhyState, State determines  
that the nodes can actually communicate and indicates the state  
transition that has occurred. A transition is a port change from  
down to initialize, initialize to down, armed to down, or active  
to down as a result of link state machine logic. Changes to the  
port state resulting from SubnSet have no affect on this  
parameter value. The value is noStateChange, down, initialize,  
armed, or active.  
Physical State  
Indicates the physical state of the port. This is used to determine  
that electricity is flowing between nodes and they can perform a  
handshake. The value is noStateChange, sleeping, polling,  
disabled, portConfigurationTraining, linkup, or  
linkErrorRecovery. The default state upon powerup is polling.  
Link Down Def State  
MKey Protocol Bits  
LMC  
Default LinkDown state to return to. The value is  
noStateChange, sleeping, or polling. Refer to section 5.5.2,
