Switch Module is installed. For additional information, see the Installation Guide). The man-
agement module assigns an IP address of 192.168.70.1xx, where xx corresponds to the number
of the bay into which each GbE Switch Module is installed, as shown in the following table:
NOTE – Switch Modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 connect to server NICs 1 and 2, respec-
tively. However, Windows operating systems show that Switch Modules installed in Bay 3 and
Bay 4 connect to server NICs 4 and 3, respectively.
Default Gateway
The default Gateway IP address determines where packets with a destination address outside
the current subnet should be sent. Usually, the default Gateway is a router or host acting as an
IP gateway to handle connections to other subnets of other TCP/IP networks. If you want to
access the GbE Switch Module from outside your local network, use the management module
to assign a default Gateway address to the GbE Switch Module. Choose I/O Module Tasks >
Configuration from the navigation pane on the left, and enter the default Gateway IP address
(for example, 192.168.70.125). Click Save.
Configuring management module for switch access
Complete the following initial configuration steps:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the management module to a 10/100 Mbps network (with
access to a management station) or directly to a management station.
2. Access and log on to the management module, as described in the BladeCenter Manage-
ment Module User’s Guide. The management module provides the appropriate IP
addresses for network access (see the applicable BladeCenter Installation and User’s
Guide publications for more information).
3. Select Configuration on the I/O Module Tasks menu on the left side of the BladeCenter
Management Module window. See Figure 1-1.
