Establishing a TCP/IP session through the management module

To establish a TCP/IP session for the switch module through the management module, complete
the following steps:
1. Log on to the management module as described in the User's Guide or Command Line
2. From the I/O Module Tasks menu, click Configuration.

Brocade FCoE Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter: Installation and User Guide
When you use the management module Web interface to update the switch module
configuration, the management module firmware saves the new configuration in its internal
nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM). If the switch module restarts, the management
module applies the saved configuration to the switch module.
If the switch module restarts and the management module cannot apply the saved
configuration, the switch module defaults to using the configuration that it had previously
saved. If the IP subnet address of the switch module does not match the IP subnet address of
the management module, you can no longer manage the switch module from the management
module.
For switch communication with a remote management station, such as an IBM Director
management server, through the management module external Ethernet port, the switch
module internal-network interface and the management module external interface must be on
the same IP subnet.
Only one FCoE-capable VLAN can be configured on the Brocade FCoE Switch Module.
Unless otherwise stated, references to the management module apply only to the BladeCenter
Advanced Management Module, which is the only type of management module that supports
the switch module.
Throughout this document, the management module Web-based user interface is also known
as the BladeCenter management module Web interface.
Throughout this document, the user name is also known as the login name or user ID for
logging on to interfaces or programs.
The screens that are described or referenced in this document might differ slightly from the
screens that are displayed by your system. Screen content varies according to the type of
BladeCenter unit and the firmware versions and options that are installed
Interface Reference Guide for your advanced management module. If necessary, obtain the IP
address of the management module from your system administrator. The management
module window opens.
NOTE
The User ID and Password fields are case-sensitive. Type your information in uppercase letters
only. To maintain system security, change your password after you log on for the first time. The
default User ID is USERID, and the default password is PASSW0RD (where the sixth character
is the number zero, not the letter O).
