Connecting to the switch using the front panel Ethernet (RJ-45) port
NOTE
The internal Ethernet management port that connects to the Chassis Management Module is the
primary port used for switch management and is enabled by default.
The front panel Ethernet (RJ-45) port is an alternative port that can be used to manage the I/O
module if the primary port is not available or not functional. Only one of these two Ethernet
management ports can be enabled at any given time; enabling the external front panel Ethernet
port will disable the internal management port. Any changes made to enable the RJ-45 interface
are temporary and require a root password.
NOTE
The switch will default to using the internal management port with a switch reboot.
Refer to the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for additional instructions when connecting to the
switch using the front panel Ethernet (RJ-45) port. To access the TSB, go to the IBM Flex System
Information Center at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/index.jsp .
Please contact your technical support representative if you need further assistance when enabling
the front panel Ethernet (RJ-45) port.
Initial configuration
The operating software on the switch contains default configuration files that are installed during
the software installation. These initial configuration settings are not in a separate configuration file,
but are components of the software. When you restore the CMM to factory defaults, the original
configuration is restored.
