3-2 Configuring the Switch Module
Figure 3-3. Configuring the Switch Module
A Gigabit Ethernet switch module can be configured using two methods (as shown in
Figure 3-3 ). You may configure it:
• Through the web-based management utility or IPMI (via the CMM module)
• Directly through a command line (using a telnet interface or a serial console)
The management utility and IPMI access the switch module through the CMM module.
To access it directly, use the command line.
Note that any port may be configured as up (active) or down (inactive). All ports are
active by default.
For more detailed information on configuration of the switches, see either Chapter 6:
"1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware" on page 6-1 or Chapter 7: "Layer 2/3 Ethernet Switch
Firmware" on page 7-1 .
