At this point, the LAN Switch I/O Module management interface has an IP<br />
address. Also, the external ports on the LAN switch module are enabled so that<br />
they can be used to communicate with blade servers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> SoL remote text console function of the Management Module depends on a<br />
VLAN provided by a LAN Switch I/O Module installed in I/O module bay 1. This<br />
VLAN is automatically provided by the 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module<br />
and the Nortel Networks Layer 2-7 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module using VLAN<br />
4095.<br />
If you are using a Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module in<br />
I/O module bay 1, you must manually configure this VLAN. A procedure is<br />
documented in the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for<br />
the <strong>IBM</strong> Eserver <strong>BladeCenter</strong> Installation Guide. This Cisco guide describes<br />
how to manually set up the VLAN that is needed to support the SoL remote text<br />
console function.<br />
5.3 Blade server configuration<br />
Minimal configuration is required for each <strong>BladeCenter</strong> <strong>JS20</strong> prior to installing an<br />
operating system. <strong>The</strong> two main configuration tasks are:<br />
► Assigning a name to the blade server<br />
► Setting the blade server boot sequence<br />
<strong>The</strong> easiest way to perform these tasks is through the Management Module Web<br />
interface.<br />
