General System Configuration
NOTE:
A Gb Ethernet pass-through module is also available as an option and requires no configuration.
The Gb Ethernet pass-through module must be connected to a 1000 Mb port on the external switch
(10 Mb and 100 Mb ports are not supported).
Before configuring the switch, obtain the following information from your network administrator:
•
Username and password
•
The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN 1 interface through which the device is to be
managed
•
The IP subnet mask for the network
•
The IP address of the default gateway
To configure the PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch module using the internal serial port on
the DRAC/MC module, perform the following steps:
1
Log on to the DRAC/MC Telnet or serial interface.
2
To redirect the switch console through the DRAC/MC console, enter the following command:
connect
switch-
x
where
x
is the module slot number on the chassis. For example, if you are connecting to
switch module 1, type
connect
