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 />
