management traffic, not for data traffic.
•
The VLAN 1 interface. You can manage the switch module from any of its external ports through
VLAN 1.
If you want to assign the VLAN 1 IP address through Express Setup, you must start that process
immediately after installing the switch module in the blade server. If you miss the opportunity to have
the IP address assigned in this way, you can remove and then re-install the switch module. See the
