Configuring the IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable

Switch

Prerequisites:

Make sure that a IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch is installed in I/O

module bay 1 or 2 of a Flex System Enterprise chassis and that the chassis is configured. Complete the

following quick start guides:



Installing the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis



Initial setup of chassis I/O modules (switches)

Steps:

Note: This process illustrates how to enable the switch ports through the Chassis Management Module

(CMM) command-line interface. For information about using the CMM interface, you can use the

Configuring IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis components quick start guide. You can find that quick

The IBM Flex System product documentation is also available on the IBM Flex System Manager management node. To access

the installed documentation, click Information Center from the IBM Flex System Manager Home page and then navigate to:

IBM Flex System information -> Quick start guides -> Installing and configuring the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis

1. Log on to the Chassis Management Module (CMM) CLI with an SSH application. The default IP

address is 192.168.70.100 and the default login/password is USERID/PASSW0RD. If necessary, obtain

the IP address and login of the CMM from your system administrator.

2. Set the environment to the bay where you installed the switch. For example, if you installed the

switch in I/O module bay 2, enter the following command:

env -T system:switch[2]

3. Run the following command to enable external data ports:

ifconfig -ep enabled

External ports 1-2 and 11-16 are now enabled for data throughput.
