Page 5: Installing The Blade Switch
Installing the blade switch The HP 6125XLG switches can be installed into the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure. The installation position in the enclosure in this document is only for illustration. For more information, see HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide. - Page 6 Press the release tab (see callout 1 in Figure 1) and then pull the ejector lever to the open position (see callout 2 in Figure Figure 1 Opening the ejector lever Slide the blade switch into the interconnect bay (see callout 1 in Figure 2) until it touches the backplane.

Page 7: Removing The Blade Switch
Removing the blade switch Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. Press the release tab to open the ejector lever. Pull the ejector lever outwards slowly to take out the blade switch. Connecting the blade switch to the network Precautions Make sure the fiber connector and fiber type match the transceiver module type. - Page 8 For more information about LED status, see "LEDs." After you connect the blade switch to the network, use the ping or tracert command to test network connectivity. For more information about these two commands, see HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference.

Page 9: Accessing The Blade Switch For The First Time
Accessing the blade switch for the first time You can access the blade switch either by logging in through the OA module or through the console port. Logging in through the OA module To log in to the blade switch through the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) module: Use a serial cable to connect the terminal (for example, a PC) to the serial port of the OA module. -
Page 10: Setting Up The Configuration Environment
Setting up the configuration environment To connect a terminal, for example, a PC, to the blade switch: Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the blade switch. IMPORTANT: Identify the mark on the console port and make sure that you are connecting to the correct port. - Page 11 Figure 7 Connection description Select the serial port to be used from the Connect using list, and click OK. Figure 8 Setting the serial port used by the HyperTerminal connection Set Bits per second to 9600, Data bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop bits to 1, and Flow control to None, and click OK, or click Restore Defaults.
- Page 12 Figure 9 Setting the serial port parameters Select File > Properties in the HyperTerminal window. Figure 10 HyperTerminal window On the Settings tab, set the emulation to VT100, and click OK.

You can configure authentication on a user interface to control access to the switch. Table 1 describes the Telnet login authentication methods available for a VTY user interface. For more information about login authentication methods, see HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Fundamentals Configuration Guide. -
Page 14: Configuring The Basic Network Settings
Configuring the basic network settings An HP 6125XLG blade switch without any configuration will continuously attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP and then download a configuration file based on DHCP options 67 and 150. To use the auto-configuration feature, see HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Fundamentals Configuration Guide. - Page 15 [Sysname] interface vlan-interface 1 # Assign an IP address, for example, 192.168.0.1, to VLAN-interface 1. [Sysname-Vlan-interface1] ip address 192.168.0.1 24 [Sysname-Vlan-interface1] quit Configure a static route: # Configure a static route, with the destination IP address 172.16.1.0 and the next hop IP address 192.168.0.2.

Page 16: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize HP 6125XLG blade switches into a virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" or "IRF virtual device" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. -
Page 17: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
On the switch, the SFP+ ports, and QSFP+ ports can be used for IRF connection. When two 6125XLG switches are plugged into adjacent (side-by-side) interconnect bays of the c7000, the internal 10-GE cross connect ports between those adjacent 6125XLG can be used for an IRF connection as well. -
Page 18: Connecting The Physical Irf Ports
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more HP 6125XLG Blade Switch IRF Configuration Guide information about MAD detection, see... -
