Web interface (MM Control → Network Interfaces → External Network Interface
(eth0)). The default IP address is 192.168.70.125, the default subnet address is
255.255.255.0, and the default host name is MM
xxxxxxxxxxxx , where xxxxxxxxxxxx
is the burned-in medium access control (MAC) address. The MAC address is on a
label on the management module, below the IP reset button.

Notes:
1. If the IP configuration is assigned by the DHCP server, the network
administrator can use the MAC address of the management-module network
interface to find out what IP address and host name are assigned.
2. If you plan to use redundant management modules and want both to use the
same IP address, disable DHCP (MM Control → Network Interfaces → External
Network Interface (eth0) in the Web interface) and configure and use the static
IP address. See the
BladeCenter Management Module User’s Guide for more
information about configuring redundant management modules.
3. If you want to access the management module with a mobile computer, set your
mobile computer to have an address with the same subnet as the management
module; then, enter the address of the management module in the Web browser
on your mobile computer.
Communicating with the IBM Director software
Notes:
1. See the illustration on page 49 for an example of a typical network
configuration. See the IBM
Eserver
BladeCenter Planning and Installation
Guide for more examples of network configurations. You can obtain the planning
guide from http://www.ibm.com/pc/eserver/bladecenter/.
2. The IBM Director CD comes with the BladeCenter unit.
To communicate with the BladeCenter unit, the IBM Director software needs a
managed object (in the Group Contents pane of the IBM Director Management
Console main window) that represents the BladeCenter unit. If the BladeCenter
management module IP address is known, the network administrator can create an
IBM Director managed object for the unit. If the IP address is not known, the IBM
Director software can automatically discover the BladeCenter unit (out-of-band,
using the Ethernet port on the BladeCenter management module) and create a
managed object for the unit.
