5.4.2 LAN Switch I/O Module firmware<br />
<strong>The</strong> method you should use to upgrade the firmware of a LAN switch module<br />
depends on the type of switch module. We demonstrate how you can upgrade<br />
firmware for the 4-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module, which is the switch<br />
module we used in our testing.<br />
For information about upgrading firmware in the Nortel Networks Layer 2-7<br />
Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module, refer to the Nortel Networks Layer 2-7 GbE<br />
Switch Module for <strong>IBM</strong> Eserver <strong>BladeCenter</strong> Installation Guide.<br />
For information about upgrading firmware in the Cisco Systems Intelligent<br />
Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module, refer to the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit<br />
Ethernet Switch Module for the <strong>IBM</strong> Eserver <strong>BladeCenter</strong> Installation Guide.<br />
1. Download the firmware update package from the <strong>IBM</strong> support Web site. This<br />
is usually a ZIP file that contains the firmware image file.<br />
2. Unzip the firmware update package into a directory on the workstation where<br />
you are running the Web browser that you use to connect the Management<br />
Module Web interface.<br />
3. Before you can upgrade the firmware of the 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch<br />
Module, configure an IP address for the switch module management<br />
interface. This enables the capability to directly connect to the switch module<br />
Web interface. To configure the IP address of the switch module management<br />
interface, see 5.2, “LAN Switch I/O Module configuration” on page 73.<br />
4. Connect to the switch module Web interface via the Management Module<br />
Web interface using the following procedure:<br />
a. In the Management Module Web interface, select I/O Module Tasks →<br />
Management.<br />
b. Select the Advanced Management link for the I/O module bay where the<br />
switch module is installed.<br />
c. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the Start Telnet/Web Session<br />
category. Click the Start Web Session button.<br />
d. A new window opens for the switch module Web interface. You are<br />
prompted to provide a user ID and a password. <strong>The</strong> default user ID is<br />
USERID, and the default password is PASSW0RD, where the number 0 is<br />
between the letters W and R in the password. Consider changing the<br />
defaults in a production environment.<br />
