Configuring the switch module through the switch-module
browser-based interface
This section describes how to use the switch-module browser-based interface (BBI)
to access and configure the internal switching software. For more information
about the BBI, see the
BNT 10-Port 10Gb Ethernet Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter
Browser Based Interface Quick Guide .
This section also describes some of the Web interface switch-module management
features.
The switch module offers an embedded HTML, browser-based interface that you
can use to manage the switch through Netscape Navigator and Communicator,
Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This interface is enabled by default.
The browser-based interface acts as an access tool and can communicate directly
with the switch through HTTP. Your computer might have to access and install a
Java plug-in (JRE 1.4.0) to run without errors. Later versions of the JRE might work
but are not officially supported.
Note: This interface does not accept Chinese-language input (or other double-byte
character-set languages).
Before you can access and start the browser-based interface, make sure that you
have completed the following procedures:
v
Install the switch module in the BladeCenter unit.
v
Make sure that the switch-module software is installed on the switch module.
v
Configure at least one IP interface on the switch module.
v
Enable frames and the JavaScript program in your Web browser.
The following hardware and software are required for the Web interface:
v
A frame-capable Web-browser program, such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or
later), Mozilla Firefox (version 1.0.4 or later), or Netscape Navigator (version 4.7
or later)
v A computer or workstation with network access to the switch module
To start the browser-based interface, complete the following steps:
1. Start a Web browser. The Web-browser window opens.
2.
In the URL field, enter the IP address of the switch module, in the following
format:
http://
xxx . xxx . xxx . xxx . The login window opens.
3. Enter your user ID and password and click OK . The default user ID is
admin
.
The default password is
admin
.
Note: The passwords that are used to access the switch module are case-sensitive.
To increase system security, change the password after you log on for the
first time.
