v
Internal network interface, which is the interface to the switch modules.
Note: For switch communication through the management module external
Ethernet port, the switch module internal network interface and the
management module internal and external interfaces must be on the same
subnet.
Alerts
For alerts you can configure the following settings:
v
Which alerts are monitored (from lists of Critical, Warning, and System alerts)
v Where and to whom alerts are sent
v
How alerts are sent (SNMP, e-mail, IBM Director)
v How often to retry alert notification and the delay between retries
v
Whether to include the event log with notifications
Network protocols
You can configure settings for the following network protocols:
v
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
v Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
v
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Security
Specify whether or not to enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL). If you choose to
enable SSL, you can determine whether to use self-signed certificates or certificates
provided by a certificate authority (CA).
Ethernet switch module configuration planning
One Ethernet switch module is required in switch module bay 1 of your BladeCenter
unit. The switch module provides four external Ethernet ports, which you can use to
communicate with an external Ethernet network. In addition, the switch module
provides 14 internal Ethernet ports, which are used to communicate with each of
the blade servers in your BladeCenter unit.
Note: Enumeration of the Ethernet controllers is operating-system dependent. for
example, the Ethernet controller located nearer the top of the blade server
whose communications are routed through Ethernet switch module 1, is
designated as the first connection (or Local Area Connection) by Microsoft
Windows 2000, but is designated as the second connection (or eth1) by Red
Hat Linux Version 7.3. The Ethernet controller located nearer the bottom of
the blade server, whose communications are routed through Ethernet Switch
module 2, is designated as the second connection (or Local Area Connection
2) by Microsoft Windows 2000, but is designated as the first connection (or
eth0) by Red Hat Linux Version 7.3.
Options that you can configure for the Ethernet switch module include:
v
Switch settings
v Port settings
v
SNMP
v User accounts
v
TFTP
