Configuring the IBM Flex System EN2092 1Gb Ethernet Scalable Switch
Prerequisites:
One IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis, one IBM Flex System EN2092 1Gb Ethernet Scalable
Switch installed in I/O module bay 1 or 2.
An Ethernet network is already configured.
Steps:
Note:
This process illustrates how to enable the switch ports through the Chassis Management Module
(CMM) command-line interface. For information about using the CMM interface, you can use the
“Configuring IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis components” quick start guide. You can find that quick
start guide at this location:
In the information center (Internet):
The IBM Flex System product documentation is also available on the IBM Flex System Manager management node. To access
the installed documentation, click Information Center from the IBM Flex System Manager Home page and then navigate to:
IBM Flex System information -> Quick start guides -> Installing and configuring the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis
1. Log on to the Chassis Management Module (CMM) CLI with an SSH application. The default IP
address is 192.168.70.100 and the default login/password is USERID/PASSW0RD. If necessary, obtain
the IP address and login of the CMM from your system administrator.
2. Set the environment to the bay where you installed the switch. The following example is for bay 2:
env -T system:switch[2]
3. Run the following command to enable external data ports:
ifconfig -ep enabled
External ports 1 – 10 are now enabled for data throughput.
