What provides initial access to the G700
Before the P330 stack processor is configured with an IP address, the only way to access it is
with a direct connection from your laptop to the Console port on the G700. With this connection,
you can assign the IP addresses to the G700 processors, which can then be accessed over the
customer LAN.
How is normal access to the S8300 and G700 provided
You can access the S8300 and G700 in several ways with either a direct connection or LAN
connection.
Note:
Note: Before the Upgrade Tool can be used to upgrade software on an LSP or firmware
on a G700, as summarized below, the LSP must be administered on the primary
controller.
Connecting directly to a target S8300
If you are at the location of the target S8300 (primary or LSP), you can connect directly to the
S8300 Services port.
