Configuring the Switch Module
When you first set up the switch module, you should use the blade enclosure advanced Management
Module (aMM) to enter the initial IP information and the Cisco device manager Express Setup screen
to configure the switch module password and Telnet access. You can then access the switch module
through the IP address for further configuration.
Before running the setup procedures, observe these cautions:
Do not connect devices to the switch module external ports until you have completed the
Caution
setup procedures and your configuration matches that of the upstream network.
For Catalyst 3110G and 3110X switch modules, make sure that no StackWise Plus cables
Caution
are connected to the switch module when running the setup procedures. If StackWise Plus
cables are connected, you cannot access the switch module by using the aMM.
If you have already connected StackWise Plus cables, remove the cables, and then restart
the switch modules by removing and inserting the modules in the blade enclosure.
Assigning the Switch Module IP Address
To complete this procedure, you will need this information from your system administrator:
• Static IP address
• Default gateway IP address
Follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect and log on to the aMM as described in the IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management
Module User's Guide.
The aMM web interface refers to the switch module as the I/O module.
