Configuring the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Module for the IBM BladeCenter
Note: For Cisco IOS release 12.1(22)EA6a and later, the SOL VLAN ID is set to a
default value of 4095. If you use the default SOL VLAN ID of 4095, no additional
configuration of the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module is
required. You need to complete the following procedure if you set a custom SOL
VLAN ID.
Complete the following steps to configure the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit
Ethernet Switch Module for the IBM BladeCenter. The Cisco Systems Intelligent
Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module has built-in support for the SOL feature and does
not require a firmware upgrade.
Note:
1. You will not be able to perform this procedure if the values for the network
configuration of the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module
are not within the same subnet as the BladeCenter management-module
network interfaces (eth0 and eth1). See “Configuring the management module”
on page 9 for information.
2. If you are using management channel auto discovery (MCAD), replace
references to I/O-module bay 1 in the following procedure with the I/O
module bay number that is actually being used (see the
BladeCenter Advanced
Management Module User's Guide for additional information about MCAD).
1. Start the BladeCenter management-module Web interface (see “Starting the
BladeCenter management-module Web interface” on page 5).
2.
In the navigation pane, click I/O Module Tasks
→
Configuration .
3. Scroll to the Current IP Configuration section and make sure that it contains
values that are within the same subnet as the BladeCenter
management-module network interfaces (eth0 and eth1). If the values are not
in the same subnet, you must modify them before you continue. See
“Configuring the management module” on page 9 for information.
4. Scroll to the Bay 1 (Ethernet SM)* section; then, click Advanced
Management .
5.
Scroll to the
Start Telnet/Web Session
section; then, click
Start Telnet Session
.
This will start a new Telnet session and connect to the Cisco Systems
Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Telnet interface.
6. Log in to the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Telnet
interface.
7. Complete the following steps to activate the VLAN ID for the Cisco Systems
Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module:
a. Type en and then press Enter.
b. Type
config t
and then press Enter.
c. Type vlan vlan_id , where vlan_id is the VLAN ID that was set for the
management module (see “Configuring the global SOL settings for the
BladeCenter unit” on page 7); then, press Enter.
d. Type
state active
and then press Enter.
e.
Type
end
and then press Enter.
f. Type
