This document contains general information about your BladeCenter unit, including how to install options in the BladeCenter unit. v Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules for the IBM Eserver BladeCenter Software Configuration Guide This document contains software configuration information for the Gigabit Ethernet switch module.
For BladeCenter units with 4 I/O-module bays, you must also install an Ethernet-I/O card (also known as an Ethernet expansion card) in the blade server to support the Gigabit Ethernet switch module in I/O-module bays 3 or 4. For information about the types of compatible I/O-expansion cards for the blade servers, see the documentation that came with the BladeCenter unit.
Major components of the Gigabit Ethernet switch module Orange on the release latch on the Gigabit Ethernet switch module indicates that the device can be hot-swapped, which means that you can install or remove this component while the BladeCenter unit is on. See Chapter 2, “Installing and removing a Gigabit Ethernet switch module,”...
Information panel overview The information panel provides comprehensive LEDs, which display the status of the Gigabit Ethernet switch module and the network (see “LEDs” on page 11) and external connections for the Gigabit Ethernet switch module. The following illustration shows the information panel of the Gigabit Ethernet switch module.
10/100/1000 Mbps connectors. When this LED is lit, it indicates that the Gigabit Ethernet switch module has a fault. If the Gigabit Ethernet switch module fails the POST or detects an operational fault, this LED is lit.

4. In the IP address field in the New Static IP Configuration section, type the TCP/IP address of the Gigabit Ethernet switch module; then, click Save. You can set up the TCP/IP address for the Gigabit Ethernet switch module in either of two ways:...
Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet switch module If you know the IP address for your Gigabit Ethernet switch module and you have an existing network connection, you can use the Telnet program (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Gigabit Ethernet switch module.
Accessing the Gigabit Ethernet switch module command-line interface To connect to the Gigabit Ethernet switch module using Telnet, complete the following steps: 1. Open a console window. 2. From the CLI prompt, type telnet x and press Enter. Where x is the IP address for your Gigabit Ethernet switch module.
Note: This Web interface does not accept Chinese language input (or other double-byte character-set languages). Because the Web interface is a built-in component of the Cisco IOS software, you do not have to install a separate interface program. See the documentation that came with your software for more information about the Web interface.
Verify that the Cisco IOS software is installed on the Gigabit Ethernet switch module v Configure at least one IP interface on the Gigabit Ethernet switch module ™ v Enable the frames and the JavaScript program in your Web browser v The following hardware and software are required for the Web interface: –...
