Connecting to the switch using the RJ-45 Ethernet port

NOTE
The internal Ethernet management port that connects to the Chassis Management Module (CMM)
is the primary port used for switch management and is enabled by default.
The RJ-45Ethernet port is an alternative port that can be used to manage the I/O module if the
primary port is not available or not functional. Only one of the two Ethernet management ports can
be enabled at any given time; enabling the RJ-45 Ethernet port will disable the internal
management port. Any changes made to enable the RJ-45 Ethernet interface are temporary and
require a root password.
NOTE
The switch will default to using the internal management port with a switch reboot.
Refer to the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for additional instructions when connecting to the
switch using the front panel Ethernet (RJ-45) port. To access the TSB, go to the IBM Flex System
Information Center at: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/index.jsp.
Please contact your technical support representative if you need further assistance when enabling
the RJ-45 Ethernet port.
