Management module setup

The BladeCenter GbE Switch Module is an integral subsystem within the overall BladeCenter
system. The BladeCenter chassis includes a management module as the central element for
overall chassis management and control.
You can use the management module to configure and manage the GbE Switch Module. The
GbE Switch Module communicates with the management module(s) through its internal port
15 (MGT1) and port 16 (MGT2), which you can access through the 100 Mbps Ethernet port on
each management module. The factory default settings permit management and control access
to the switch module only through the management module, or the built-in serial port. You can
use the external Ethernet ports (EXT1-EXT7) on the switch module for management and con-
trol of the switch, by selecting this mode as an option through the management module config-
uration utility program (see the applicable BladeCenter Installation and User's Guide
publications for more information).
N – Support for each management module is provided by a separate management port
OTE
(MGT1 and MGT2). One port is active, and the other port is used as a backup.

Factory-Default vs. MM assigned IP Addresses

Each GbE Switch Module must be assigned its own Internet Protocol address, which is used
for communication with an SNMP network manager or other transmission control protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) applications (for example, BootP or TFTP). The factory-default IP
address is 10.90.90.8x, where x corresponds to the number of the bay into which the GbE
Switch Module is installed. For additional information, see the Installation Guide. The man-
agement module assigns an IP address of 192.168.70.1xx, where xx corresponds to the number
of the bay into which each GbE Switch Module is installed, as shown in the following table:
