Configuring Management

The BX900 Ethernet Connection Blade could be managed via two kinds of method. One is to
use console redirection from management blade, the other is to use IP network connection.
Two management interfaces for IP network connection, in-band and out-of-band management
interfaces, are provided for users to access and to manage the Ethernet Connection Blade.
Both of these two management interfaces could be configured to get the IP address via use
DHCP at a time, but not simultaneously.
The BX900 Ethernet Connection Blade supports only one default gateway in the system. User
could assign the default gateway for in-band management or out-of-band management
interface, but not simultaneously. If the gateway for the in-band management is set it is only
valid for the in-band management. If the user tries to set also the gateway for the out-of-band
management there will be an error message saying that the gateway for the in-band
management is already set and it is therefore not allowed to configure a second one. If the
gateway for the out-of-band management is set it is only valid for the out-of-band
management. Again an appropriate error message will be shown if it is tried to configure the
in-band management gateway. If user configure one of these two management ports to get the
IP address from DHCP server, the default gateway got from DHCP server will be overridden
the existed one. That is, the default gateway will always be valid for the management port
which is configured to use DHCP if the IP and default gateway are assigned by DHCP server
successfully.
This chapter will describe how to configure IP address for the in-band and out-of-band
management interfaces and how to configure the default gateway for the system on the BX900
Ethernet Connection Blade.
