5.3 Start up and Configuration the IBP Module
It’s important to understand the IBP Module architecture when configuring the IBP Module. The
IBP Module has two types of ports. One type is for interfacing the IBP Module with PRIMERGY
BX600 Blade Server, and the other type are regular Ethernet ports used for connecting
PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server to the network.
The IBP Module module is connected to PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server (Management
Board) MMB through 30 internal ports called the Internal Ports. The maximum link speed
through the Internal Ports is 1 Gigabit per port. The port configuration ID’s are g1 to g30. To
connect the IBP Module to the network there are 12 PHY based ports called the External ports.
The external 12 ports are 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet ports. The port configuration ID’s are
g31 to g42.
The default configuration of the internal and external ports are as follows:
