    CLI. Overview The Supermicro switch utility for the Layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch modules provides a web-based interface for managing layer2 and layer3 switching at wire speed for constructing a switched/routed network. This interface provides both a bridging functionality and advanced features such as link aggregation, Dynamic VLAN/Dynamic Multicast, IGMP Snooping and Network Access Control.

    System Management section. The management interface for the SBM-GEM-X2C(+), SBM-GEM-X3S+ and the SBM-XEM-X10SM is the same as that for the Supermicro standalone SSE-G24-TG4 and SSE-G48-TG4 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet switch modules. For the SSE-G48-TG4 and SSE-G24-TF4 switches, you can connect to any of the front panel 1G ports or back panel 10G ports to manage the switch with the default management IP.

Step 6 NOTE: This procedure describes modifying three right most single-wide bays located at the bottom of the inner enclosure. The same procedure applies to the three right most single bays located at the top of the enclosure, but note that the horizontal spacers in the bottom bays use a guide pin and are not interchangeable with the upper bay spacers.
  • Page 401 Appendix C: Installing Triple Wide Bays NOTE: Only one triple-wide module can be installed in an enclosure since each enclosure requires at least one CMM module. The bottom location is recommended. If using the AOC-IBH-002 single-port InfiniBand mezzanine card, the InfiniBand pass-through module MUST be installed in the bottom location.
