The management interface for each module can be accessed via port MGMT0 or
port MGMT1. You can choose from the connection methods in the following table.
The connection method can be set separately for each module and can be changed
from the management module console. For details about how to change the
connection method, see "List of Commands" or "List of System Web Console
Features" in Chapter 6.

exclusive No No Yes
Note 1 Yes: Can be selected; No: Cannot be selected.
Note 2 The same connection method is always used for the Basic/ LPAR manager shared
Interface and LPAR manager Dedicated Interface for the same blade.
The management module exclusive method can only be selected for the switch
module. This option behaves as follows:
 Connection to management interfaces from MGMT0 and MGMT1 is disabled.
 Connection from the Management Module to the Switch Module console is
enabled.

If you choose to connect to the switch module using
the management module exclusive method, you must
set an appropriate IP address. For the setting method,
see "
Setting the IP address "

If you choose to connect to the switch module using
the management module exclusive method, the
management interfaces are invisible to devices
outside the Compute Blade 2000. This means that
SNMP and other functions that link with external
nodes cannot be used.
