Requirements

PC or workstation with network access to the switch

Switch Set Up
Before you can access the BBI, minimal configuration is required on the GbE Switch Module.
IP Interfaces
At least one IP interface must be configured on the switch. This is usually done from the com-
mand-line interface during first-time switch set up. Each IP interface address provides a point
of access for Alteon OS switch management. The default management interface is 128, which
allows access to Alteon OS switch management via the management module network only.
For complete information about configuring IP interfaces, see your GbE Switch Module
Installation Guide.
Enabling/Disabling BBI Access
By default, BBI access is enabled. If you need to disable or re-enable access, use the following
command from the GbE Switch Module command-line interface:
For more information on the accessing and configuring the switch through the command-line
interface, see your GbE Switch Module Installation Guide.
