Pay attention to the following points about the cloud-based management mode:
If the current slot ID of a switch is not 0 or the current slot ID is 0 but the slot ID for the next startup is not 0, it is not allowed to change the switch to the cloud-based management mode.
In the cloud-based management mode, the user name and password configured through web or serial port are effective only before the switch registers with the cloud management platform. After the switch registers, the cloud management platform will deliver the user name and password to the switch, which will override the ones configured in other ways. The user name and password delivered from the cloud management platform are required for login to a cloud-managed switch as long as the switch has registered with the cloud management platform.
A switch working in the cloud-based management mode does not have a configuration file. Service configurations delivered from the cloud management platform are saved in a specific database of the switch. If a configuration file is loaded to the switch through misoperations, for example, using the BootROM menu, the switch will return to the traditional mode after a restart.
A virtual management interface Meth0/0/2 will be automatically generated for the cloud management platform to locate faults on the switch. This interface has a fixed IP address 192.168.2.1/24 configured.
If an error occurs in the cloud-based management process of the switch, detailed error information of the process will be saved in the directory flash:/core_dump.
