external Ethernet port, the I/O module internal network interface
and the management module internal and external interfaces must
be on the same subnet.
v External Network Interface (eth0) - This is the interface for the remote
management and console port.
– Interface - Select Enabled (the default) to use the Ethernet connection.
– DHCP - Select one of the following choices:
- DHCP with rollover to static (this is the default).
- DHCP only
- Static only
– Hostname - (Optional) This is the IP host name you want to use for
the management module (maximum of 63 characters).
– Static IP configuration - You need to configure this information only
if DHCP is disabled.
- IP address - The IP address for the management module. The IP
address must contain four integers from 0 to 255, separated by
periods, with no spaces or consecutive periods. The default setting
is 192.168.70.125.
- Subnet mask - The subnet mask must contain four integers from 0
to 255, separated by periods, with no spaces. The default setting is
255.255.255.0
- Gateway address - The IP address for your network gateway router.
The gateway address must contain four integers from 0 to 255,
separated by periods, with no spaces.
v Internal Network Interface (eth1) - This interface communicates with the
I/O module.
– Specify the IP address to use for this interface. The subnet mask must
be the same as the subnet mask in the external network interface
(eth0).
– View the data rate, duplex mode, maximum transmission unit (MTU),
locally-administered MAC address, and burned-in MAC address for
this interface. You can configure the locally-administered MAC
address; the other fields are read-only.
3. Configure the internal Ethernet management port on each I/O module in
the BladeCenter unit.
Note: Some types of I/O modules, such as a pass-thru module, have no
management port.
a. Under I/O Module Tasks in the navigation pane, click Management.
b. Click Bay 1.
