Component-Specific Configuration; Configuring The Management Module - Intel SBCE Setup Manual

3 Component-specific configuration

This section provides instructions for configuring SBCE components for SOL operation. Use it in addition to
the information in Chapter 2, "General configuration," on page 3. It is divided into the following subsections:
• "Configuring the management module" on page 17
• "Configuring the Intel
• "Configuring the Intel
• "Configuring the Intel
on page 24

Configuring the management module

Before you configure the management module for SOL operation, review the following information:
• Make sure that the management-module external network interface (eth0) configuration is valid for your
production network. This configuration can be obtained from a DHCP server or set statically.
• The management-module internal network interface (eth1) and the Ethernet I/O module configuration can
be different from that of the management-module external network interface (eth0); however, the
management-module internal network interface (eth1) and the Ethernet I/O module configuration must be
in the same subnet. The management-module internal interface (eth1) is exposed to the external network
through the management module, so it must not conflict with any other addresses on your production
network. If you use a configuration for the Ethernet I/O module that is not valid for your production
network, you will not be able to update the firmware or manage your Ethernet I/O module through a
Telnet or Web interface.
• Telnet sessions with the SBCE management module have a default timeout value of 120 seconds (2
minutes). If there is no Telnet or SOL traffic within the timeout interval, the Telnet session and any SOL
session associated with this Telnet session will terminate. See the Intel
Management Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for information about configuring the
Telnet session timeout value.
• The SOL blade system management processor (BSMP) address range can include any valid IP addresses
that do not conflict with any of the IP addresses of the blade servers. The BSMP address range is used for
internal communication between the blade server and the I/O module and is not exposed to the external
network.
Complete the following steps to update the management-module firmware and configure the management
module to enable SOL:
