①
Six USB 3.0 ports. You can use these ports to connect a mouse, keyboard, or hard disk.
②
Power button.
③
Two 10 Gbit/s optical ports, where port 1 is the management port with the management IP address
10.10.1.1.④
Two 1 Gb copper Ethernet ports.
⑤
Two 25 Gb optical ports.
⑥

NoteDo not use the management port as a service port.
Step 1: Mount the hardware
Unpack and inspect the device.
When you receive the Data Transport device, check that the device and its accessories are complete and undamaged. The accessories include four optical transceiver modules (two 10 Gb and two 25 Gb) and one standard power cable. You can find the power cable after opening the top panel. If the device is damaged, contact Alibaba Cloud support immediately.
Mount the Data Transport device.
The Data Transport II is not a standard rack-mounted device. Before you mount the device, prepare a rail and a tray. You can also place the device at the bottom of the rack.
Connect the device using a power cable that matches the power socket on the rack. For example, use an American-standard or other compatible power cable.
Check the data ports.
The device has onboard 1 Gb network ports. If you want to use a 10 Gb or 25 Gb network, make sure that the SFP optical transceiver modules are installed.
After you connect the cables, press the power button to turn on the device and check its status.
Connection methods
The Data Transport device supports the following two connection methods:
Connect through a network switch
Connect directly with a network cable
Step 2: Configure the service IP address
Method 1
The default management IP address of the Data Transport II device is 10.10.1.1, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Connect your laptop to the management port of the Data Transport II device using a network cable. The management port is Port 1 of the two 1 Gb copper Ethernet ports. Its IP address is
10.10.1.1.Change the local IP address of your laptop to an address in the same CIDR block as the management port IP address. For example, change the local IP address to
10.10.1.2and the subnet mask to255.255.255.0.NoteIf the management IP address of the device is not
10.10.1.1, use Method 2.Open the command line, enter
ssh root@10.10.1.1, and press Enter.Enter the username and password to log on to the Data Transport device.
Contact Alibaba Cloud support to obtain the username and password.
Run the command
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/to navigate to the specified directory. You can see the following network port configuration files.ImportantIf the corresponding network port configuration file is not found, go to Applications > System Tools > Settings > Network to configure the connected network port from the graphical user interface (GUI). Select the manual mode, configure the service IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, and then apply the settings. The corresponding network port configuration file is then generated.
