Configuring the switch
Configuring the switch requires that you first assign an IP address to the switch, which must be
done from the Chassis Management Module (CMM) using the CLI or GUI. After the IP address is
assigned, you then connect to the switch (over SSH) to define configuration settings. To log in to the
CMM, see the IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module User's Guide.
Configuring an IP address on the switch using the CLI
1. Install the IBM Flex System EN4023 10Gb Scalable Switch in the appropriate bay of the IBM
2. (Optional) Connect the serial console to the mini-USB port on the switch information panel and
3. Use SSH to the IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) IP address as described
4. Enter env
5. From the CMM, enter ifconfig to display the current IP address. See
