94 MC1600 Extreme Edge Server Installation and Use (6806870A02A)
Software Configuration
Software Configuration
This release includes the capability to initialize the BCM switch with user-specific commands
and have these commands automatically applied whenever the board is booted. This
configuration step also happens when the
bcm service is restarted.
To use this feature, add the desired BCM commands to the file
/opt/bladeservices/tools/bcm/rc_user.soc
.
The Broadcom switch is configurable from Linux/BBS using the Broadcom utility
bcm.user.proxy
. To execute, type:
bcm.user.proxy
followed by two
<CR>
. The second
<CR>
is needed to see the
BCM.0>
prompt. To exit the utility, type:
exit <CR>
.
Once in the utility both general and specific help is available. For example:
BCM.0> help
BCM.0> help PortStat
Notice in the help output that certain characters are capitalized in the command names. The
capital letters represent the minimum letters necessary (or shortcut) to issue the command.
For example to call the
PortStat
command, the shortcut would be
ps.
Here is example output for the
ps
command on the Extreme Edge Server:
Notice the ports are labeled xe0 through xe7. The xe0-xe4 ports correspond to the SFP+ front
panel ports labeled ETH 3 through 7. The connections to CPU1 & CPU2 are xe5 and xe7. The
BMC link is xe6.
