About Embedded Switch Module configuration

Use procedures in this chapter to configure the Embedded Switch Module to operate on a network
and fabric. Also use steps to change the Embedded Switch Module's operating mode (Fabric OS
Native and Access Gateway modes).
NOTE
Although the Embedded Switch Module is configured at the factory for Fabric OS Native mode, you
can enable it for Access Gateway mode. For more information, refer to
Native to Access Gateway mode"
This chapter provides configuration procedures that use Embedded Switch Module Command Line
Interface (CLI) and the Web Tools application. For details refer to the Web Tools Administrator's
Guide, Access Gateway Administrator's Guide, and Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. If the
same operation can be performed using the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade application,
use that application instead.
