= Setting up the Quanta LG4B = Unlike the IP8800, This is a purely !OpenFlow switch, unable to do ''anything'' without a controller. The steps can be found documented elsewhere (ref. below), but we repeat the steps just in case things change. == 1. Preparation == === 1.1 References === * main site: http://openflowswitch.org/wk/index.php/LB4GImageSetup === 1.2 Prerequisites === * OS on PC: Ubuntu * packages on PC: ckermit, xinetd, tftpd-hpa == 2. Installation == === 2.1 Connecting to the switch === A serial connection can be set up between the switch and a machine using a RJ-45 to RS-232 cable. Surprisingly, a Cisco cable will work for this. Connect the RJ-45 end to the port labeled "Con" on the switch, and the other end to the PC. Next, start a session from a shell with kermit as root: {{{ kermit -l /dev/ttys0 set carrier-watch off set baud 115200 connect }}} Fire up the switch. If you see the U-Boot banner, you can stop the boot process so you can copy/burn the images onto flash.
