options that are installed.
Connecting to the switch
To use the QuickTools Web interface to access and control the switch, you must
know the IP address for the switch and have an existing network connection to the
management module or to the switch Ethernet port. If you have to obtain the IP
address of the switch or establish a network connection, contact your system or
network administrator. You can connect the switch Ethernet port to the workstation
using a 10/100 Base-T straight cable or a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable.
Establishing a Web-interface session through a Web browser
You can access the switch by IP-enabled devices that are connected to the Chassis
Management Module or to the switch Ethernet port. An Ethernet connection to the
chassis management-module external ports on the IBM Flex System chassis is
required. For more information, see the following documents at
