v The default IP address of the GbE switch module is 192.168.70.127,
192.168.70.128, 192.168.70.129, or 192.168.70.130, depending on the switch
module bay where it is installed.
v If you change the IP address of the GbE switch module and restart the
BladeCenter unit, the GbE switch module maintains this new IP address as
its default value.
v The management module and the GbE switch module can communicate
with each other only if they are on the same IP subnet.
v When you use the management-module Web interface to update the
switch-module configuration, the management-module firmware saves the
new configuration in its internal nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM). If the GbE switch module restarts, the management module
applies the saved configuration to the GbE switch module.
If the GbE switch module restarts and the management module cannot
apply the saved configuration, the GbE switch module defaults to using the
configuration that it had previously saved. If the IP subnet address of the
GbE switch module does not match the IP subnet address of the
management module, you can no longer manage the GbE switch module
from the management module.
v For switch communication with a remote management station, such as the
IBM Director server, through the management-module external Ethernet
port, the switch-module internal-network interface and the
management-module internal and external interfaces must be on the same IP
subnet.
See
the documentation listed in the “Related documentation” on page 2 for
specific details about configuring the GbE switch module and preparing for
system installation.
