7. Restart the Management Module. In the Management Module Web interface,<br />
select MM Control → Restart MM. <strong>The</strong>n click the Restart button on the<br />
displayed form. You are prompted to confirm the restart before it occurs.<br />
8. Remove the Management Module from the isolated private Ethernet network<br />
and connect it to the network you will use to manage the <strong>BladeCenter</strong>.<br />
You can now connect to the Management Module Web and command line<br />
interfaces using the IP address that you assigned to the Management Module<br />
external network interface.<br />
Now consider performing other Management Module setup tasks, such as:<br />
► Setting the Management Module date and time so that log entries have useful<br />
timestamps<br />
► Defining user IDs and passwords for the system administrators and operators<br />
who will manage the <strong>BladeCenter</strong><br />
Alternatively, you can configure the Management Module to use a Lightweight<br />
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory for this purpose.<br />
► Configuring the Management Module to send alerts to management systems<br />
via SNMP, or system administrators using e-mail via Simple Mail Transfer<br />
Protocol (SMTP)<br />
► Enabling the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to securely access the<br />
Management Module Web interface<br />
► Enabling the use of Secure Shell (SSH) to securely access the Management<br />
Module command line interface (CLI)<br />
For additional information about how to perform these tasks, refer to the<br />
<strong>IBM</strong> Eserver <strong>BladeCenter</strong> Management Module User’s Guide.<br />
5.2 LAN Switch I/O Module configuration<br />
This section explains the basic set up LAN Switch I/O Modules so you can work<br />
with <strong>BladeCenter</strong> <strong>JS20</strong>s. Advanced configuration of LAN Switch I/O Modules is<br />
beyond the scope of this book.<br />
<strong>The</strong> primary setup tasks for LAN Switch I/O Modules are to:<br />
► Assign IP addresses to the LAN Switch I/O Module management interfaces<br />
► Enable the LAN Switch I/O Module external Ethernet ports<br />
You can learn about the selection of IP addresses for the LAN Switch I/O Module<br />
management interfaces in Chapter 4, “Planning considerations” on page 53.<br />
