You can manage and configure the switch module through multiple interfaces:
v A Telnet connection to the embedded command-line interface (CLI)
v A terminal emulation program connection to the serial-port interface
v A Web-browser-based interface (BBI) connection to the switch module
Record information about the switch module in the following table. The product
name and serial number are on the identification label on the bottom cover of the
switch module. The media access control (MAC) address is on a separate label on
the bottom cover of the switch module. For an illustration that shows the locations
of these labels, see "Major components of the switch module" on page 4. You will
need this information when you register the switch module with IBM. You can
