4. You can use the default IP addresses provided by the management module, or you can
assign a new IP address to the switch through the management module.
You can assign this IP address through one of the following methods:
Manually through the management module
Automatically through the blade server chassis Configuration Wizard
Note – If you change the IP address of the switch, make sure that the switch and the manage-
ment module both reside on the same subnet.
In Advanced Configuration > Advanced Setup, enable “Preserve new IP configuration on
all switch resets,” to retain the switch’s IP interface when you restore factory defaults. This set-
ting preserves the management port’s IP address in the management module’s memory, so you
maintain connectivity to the management module after a reset.
You now can start a Telnet session, Browser-Based Interface (BBI) session, a Secure Shell ses-
sion, or a secure HTTPS session to the switch.
5. For HTTPS access, you must enable HTTPS on the switch. For example:
For more information about SSH access, refer to “Secure Shell and Secure Copy” on page 78.
