108 Intel Blade Server Switch Module SBCEFCSW Management and User’s Guide
IP configuration
The IP configuration identifies the switch module on the Ethernet network and determines which start (boot)
method to use. Start methods described in the following table are for external and internal ports. Table 23
describes the IP configuration parameters.
Remote logging
The Remote Logging (syslog) feature enables saving of the log information to a remote host that supports the
syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in
the Logging Host IP Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal switch module log whether this
feature is enabled or not.
To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file and then restart the syslog daemon.
The syslog.conf file on the remote host must contain an entry that specifies the name of the log file in which to
save error messages. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file:
local0.info <tab> /var/adm/messages.name
Use <tab> to separate the selector field (local0.info) and action field, which contains the log file path name
(/var/adm/messages/messages.name).
Archiving a switch module
You can create an XML archive file containing the switch module configuration parameters. Archived
parameters include the following:
• Switch module properties and statistics
• IP configuration
• SNMP configuration
• Port properties and statistics
• Zoning configuration
You can use this archive file to restore the configuration on the same switch module or on a replacement
switch. You can also use the archive file as a template for configuring new switch modules to add to a fabric.
Security settings and user account information are not archived. You can use the archive later to restore the
switch module. For more information, see “Restoring a switch module” on page 128
