nect.
Table 9-10 ServerMobility - Port Configuration Fields
Field Description
Port Identifies each port in the switch.
Note: If the switch is part of a multi-switch stack, the displayed number indi-
cates the Configured Switch number (csnum) followed by the port number.
See “Stacking Port Numbers” on page 54 for more information.
Port ServerMobility
Mode
Enables or disables the ServerMobility feature on the port. When enabled,
DHCP option 82 information is forwarded to the DHCP server.
Port DHCP request fil-
tering mode
Enables or disables filtering DHCP request information on the port. When
enabled, DHCP requests from the blade server are filtered, so that the DHCP
server receives only DHCP requests from the switch.
Note: If the ServerMobility feature is enabled on a port, it is recommended
that you also enable DHCP request filtering.
Backup port Selects a backup port. The blade server connected to the backup port acts as
a backup to the server connected to this port. The backup server uses the
same IP address as the active server.
