HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide - HP Business ...

• You can configure or change VLAN settings with VLAN disabled. Run-time user changes are saved in
RAM only and are lost when Onboard Administrator is restarted. Use the Save Config command to
save configuration changes permanently.
• You can configure VLAN remotely. VLAN configuration changes are saved in RAM only, and these
changes are discarded upon reboot unless you save the changes to FLASH.
• Devices on different VLAN domain networks cannot communicate. All servers and interconnects,
regardless of their VLAN ID, can still be managed using the Onboard Administrator. The client machine
and the Onboard Administrator must be on the same VLAN ID to access the Onboard Administrator.
HP recommends using a console terminal to configure your network to prevent loss of communication when
changing the VLAN configuration. The corresponding changes should then also be made to the external
switch that Onboard Administrator is connected to.
VLAN settings
The VLAN Control tab displays the active configuration that is currently in use on the Onboard Administrator.
The general VLAN settings and the VLAN settings for the Onboard Administrator are configured from the
VLAN Settings tab. Settings for the Device and Interconnect bays are configured from the Device Bays and
Interconnect Bays tabs. After changes are made on any of these three tabs, the VLAN Control tab displays.
After the VLAN Control tab displays, you can save the settings or revert to the previous settings.
