Setting the Embedded Switch Module IP address
3
Setting the Embedded Switch Module IP address
IP parameters are stored on the Embedded Switch Module. By default, the IP address for the
Embedded Switch Module is configured as DHCP.
NOTE
It is recommended that you set the IP address using the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade
ServerView GUI application because this enables centralized management of the Embedded Switch
Module.
You can reset the IP address using one of the following methods:
•
Embedded Switch Module Command Line Interface (CLI). See “Using the CLI menu from the
serial console” on page 17 for instructions.
•
PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade ServerView CLI. See “Using the PRIMERGY BX900
Management Blade CLI to change system settings” on page 21 for instructions.
•
PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade ServerView graphical user interface (GUI). See “Using
the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade GUI to set the IP address” on page 23 for
instructions.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the Embedded Switch Module to the internal network until the IP address is correctly
set for your Ethernet network requirements.
Using the CLI menu from the serial console
Use the following steps to connect and modify the Embedded Switch Module IP address through
the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade (MMB), regardless of whether you know the
management IP address.
1. Disable any serial communication programs that are running on the management workstation.
2. Connect a serial cable from a management workstation to the MMB.
3. Open a HyperTerminal on a PC or TERM in a Linux or UNIX environment and establish a
terminal session to the Embedded Switch Module from the management workstation. You will
use this connection if you want to reset the module’s IP address using CLI commands and
perform other configuration tasks.
