3.1. MAGNUM-SE CONFIGURATION SHELL
The MAGNUM-SE Configuration Shell enables the user to set up the MAGNUM-SE parameters.By
accessing the MAGNUM-SE Configuration Shell a number of operations can be performed in order to
properly set up your server. Access to the MAGNUM-SE Configuration Shell is available when directly
connected with keyboard / display or KVM access to the Server or remotely through a SSH session. To
access the login screen, hit ctrl+alt+F2 on an attached keyboard.
Tip: Changes that affect the operation of the MAGNUM or admin level actions will
cause an authentication prompt to be displayed
To login to the MAGNUM-SE Configuration Shell, the user will have to enter the following information
when prompted. These are the default credentials:
•Enter admin as the username and then press <enter>
•Enter admin as the password and then press <enter>
Figure 3-1 displays the main setup menu. Section 3.1.1 to 3.1.5 will guide you through the process of
setting up your server and identifying the function of each configuration tool.
You will use the arrow keys, tab, and enter keys to navigate through the MAGNUM-SE Configuration
Shell.

function as one. For example, if one of the adapters of the bond were to fail (link loss as result of cable
failure, NIC failure, switch port failure, switch failure etc) the second adapter would automatically
continue network connectivity. To create a bond, toggle to the Create Bond menu item as shown in
Figure 3-17 and use this command to bond multiple interfaces.
