Force10 Node Manager Guide, version 1.5.0 25
C-Series and E-Series Setup
To complete the installation, Node Manager requires that you use the FTOS CLI from the C-Series or
E-Series switch to perform two activities for each managed chassis.

Node Manager communicates to each chassis by means of SNMP. This requires that you define an SNMP

Force10 Networks suggests you create a virtual IP address instead of using the IP addresses of the
management interfaces:
For more on C-Series and E-Series management, see Managing the S-Series on page 85.

existing string.
