Enabling Management Over External Ports - Cisco Ethernet switch Installation Manual

The Web interface and the Telnet program provide different ways to access the
same internal-switching software and configure it. Thus, all the settings in Web
management are the same as those found in the Telnet program.
v If your system application requires that you use the Web interface program,
see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet switch module using the
management-module Web interface" on page 27 for additional information.
v If your system application requires that you use the Telnet program, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet switch module using Telnet" on page 25
for additional information.
v For information about running an SSH session, see the Secure Shell
configuration information on the Documentation CD.

Enabling management over external ports

To enable management over external connectors (ports), complete the following
steps:
1. Log on to the management module as described in the BladeCenter
Management Module User's Guide. If necessary, obtain the IP address of the
management module from your system administrator. The
management-module window opens.
2. From the I/O Module Tasks menu, click Management.
3. Click I/O Module Tasks > Management > Advanced Management in the
management-module Web interface and make sure that the following
switch-module features are enabled:
v External ports
v External management over all ports
v Preserve new IP configuration on all resets
The default setting is Disabled for these features. If these features are not
already enabled, change the setting to Enabled; then, click Save.
Note: See the Installation and User's Guide that came with your BladeCenter
unit for additional information about enabling external management
over all ports.
4. In the bay information section, click Advanced Management.
You can now start a Web interface session, a Telnet session, or a Secure
