Using Express Setup to Assign a VLAN 1 IP Address to the Switch
Module

Use these steps to assign an IP address to the VLAN 1 interface through Express Setup. You must start
these steps immediately after you have installed the switch module (see the “Installing the Switch
Module in the Blade Server” section on page 6).

Note

If approximately 2 minutes pass after you press the Mode button, obtaining the VLAN 1
IP address through Express Setup is no longer possible unless you remove and then re-install
the switch module.

To prepare the switch module:

Step 1

Verify that no devices are connected to the switch module, because during Express Setup, the
switch module acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, before you begin you
should change your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP.

As the switch module powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that
runs automatically to ensure that the switch module functions properly.

Step 2

Wait for the switch module to complete POST. It might take several minutes for the switch
module to complete POST.

Step 3

Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the system and status LEDs remain green.

If the switch module fails POST, the system LED turns amber. If the POST fails, see the “In
Case of Difficulty” section on page 21
to determine a course of action. POST errors are
usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch module fails POST.
