v

The

default

IP

address

of

the

GbE

switch

module

is

192.168.70.127,

192.168.70.128,

192.168.70.129,

or

192.168.70.130,

depending

on

the

switch

module

bay

where

it

is

installed.

v

If

you

change

the

IP

address

of

the

GbE

switch

module

and

restart

the

BladeCenter

unit,

the

GbE

switch

module

maintains

this

new

IP

address

as

its

default

value.

v

The

management

module

and

the

GbE

switch

module

can

communicate

with

each

other

only

if

they

are

on

the

same

IP

subnet.

v

When

you

use

the

management-module

Web

interface

to

update

the

switch-module

configuration,

the

management-module

firmware

saves

the

new

configuration

in

its

internal

nonvolatile

random-access

memory

(NVRAM).

If

the

GbE

switch

module

restarts,

the

management

module

applies

the

saved

configuration

to

the

GbE

switch

module.

If

the

GbE

switch

module

restarts

and

the

management

module

cannot

apply

the

saved

configuration,

the

GbE

switch

module

defaults

to

using

the

configuration

that

it

had

previously

saved.

If

the

IP

subnet

address

of

the

GbE

switch

module

does

not

match

the

IP

subnet

address

of

the

management

module,

you

can

no

longer

manage

the

GbE

switch

module

from

the

management

module.

v

For

switch

communication

with

a

remote

management

station,

such

as

the

IBM

Director

server,

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

IP

subnet.

See

the

documentation

listed

in

the

“Related

documentation”

on

page

2

for

specific

details

about

configuring

the

GbE

switch

module

and

preparing

for

system

installation.
