v
Before you configure the switch, make sure that the management modules in the
Flex System chassis are correctly configured. For more information about
configuring the switch, see the following documents:
–
Lenovo Flex System Advanced Management Module Installation Guide
– Lenovo Flex System Advanced Management Module User’s Guide
v
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.70.120, 192.168.70.121,
192.168.70.122, or 192.168.70.123, depending on the switch bay where it is
installed.
v If you change the IP address of the switch and restart the Flex System chassis,
the switch maintains this new IP address as its default value.
v
When configuring the switch using the management interfaces, note that the
apply command changes the currently active configuration. If you want the
configuration change to persist beyond the next reboot of the switch, you must
run the
copy running-config startup-config command. This command stores the
current switch configuration and all changes in NVRAM.
If the switch restarts and the management module cannot apply the saved
configuration, the switch defaults to using the configuration that it had
previously saved. If the IP subnet address of the switch does not match the IP
subnet address of the management module, you can no longer manage the
switch from the management module. For more information about configuring
the switch, see the Command Reference document for the switch.
v When you use the management-module Web interface to update the switch
configuration, the management-module firmware saves the new configuration in
internal nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). If the switch restarts, the
management module applies the saved configuration to the switch. For more
information, see the
Application guide and Command Reference .
v
For switch communication with a remote management station, such as a
Director management server, through the management-module external Ethernet
port, the switch internal-network interface and the management-module external
interface must be on the same IP subnet.
For specific details about configuring the switch and preparing for system
installation, see the documentation listed in “Related documentation” on page 1.
Notes:
v
Unless otherwise stated, references to the management module apply only to the
Flex System Advanced Management Module, which is the only type of
management module that supports the switch.
