Requirements
Minimal server requirements:
- Dual core Intel CPU 1.8GHz
- Optical disk driver
- 80G hard drive
- 4G RAM
- DPDK supported NICs (http://dpdk.org/doc/nics)
- Console access through serial port or keyboard/monitor ports
Getting the ISO
Please contact our sales team at sales@telcobridges.com to get a copy of the latest TBSC-SW ISO.
Installing using the ISO
The ISO installation process will reformat the server's hardrive and install all the necessary software.
Physical installation steps
- Burn the ISO onto a DVD
- Insert the DVD in the optical drive of your server and boot from the DVD drive.
- You should get the following on your display:
- Hit 'R' key, then 'ENTER' key.
- Wait for the installation process to complete. When installation is complete, the server will reboot itself.
- Make sure to remove the DVD from the drive while the server is rebooting, otherwise you will get
Changing root password
- Use the console to login into the server
- user: root
- password: root
- Change the password to something stronger than root:
# passwd New password: ........ Retype new password: ........ passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Assigning IP address
- Assign a IP address to the Ethernet interface having network connectivity. Example if the NIC's name would be eth0:
# ip addresss add 192.168.178.30/24 dev eth0 # ip link set eth0 up
Accessing the TSBC-SW web portal
- Open a web browser to the IP of your server, on port 12358. Example if your server address is 192.168.178.30, the URL would be:
http://192.168.178.30:12358
From here, you can go to Web Portal Initial Configuration Guide to continue the installation, and/or optimize your server to get the maximum out of your server.
