Managing the Switch Module
After you complete the initial switch module configuration, use the aMM, the CLI, the switch module
device manager, or the other management options described in this section for further configuration.

Blade Enclosure Advanced Management Module

For standalone switch modules, you can use the aMM to configure and manage the switch module.
See the IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module User's Guide for more information. For
stacked switch modules, use the CLI, the switch device manager, or the Cisco Network Assistant to
configure and manage the switch stack.
Command-Line Interface
You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. You can access the CLI by
connecting your management station directly to the switch module console port or by using Telnet
from a remote management station.
To connect to the switch module console port, follow these steps:
1. Connect the supplied USB-to-DB-9 adapter cable to the serial port on the PC. Connect the USB
end of the cable to the console port on the switch module.
2. Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
3. Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,
and no flow control.
4. Use the CLI to enter commands to configure and manage the switch module and switch stacks. See
the software configuration guide and the command reference on Cisco.com for more information.
