Before You Begin

Network Information

You can configure your I/O switch modules using the CMC, as outlined in
"Configuring a Switch Module Network Ethernet Port Using the Web-Based
Interface" on page 39
(the default IP address for the CMC is 192.168.0.120),
through the CMC CLI via serial console redirection, direct access to the I/O
module’s serial port (if supported), or using the I/O module’s default IP address
(if supported).

Switch Modules

Configuring a Switch Module Network Ethernet Port Using the
Web-Based Interface

You can use the CMC Web-based interface to configure an I/O module’s
Ethernet port.

NOTE:

Use this procedure to configure the switch’s out-of-band Ethernet port. The

switch’s in-band management IP address is configured through the switch’s
external ports. These two IP addresses must be different, and on different
networks.

NOTE:

To change settings on the I/O module configuration page, you must have

Fabric Administrator privileges for the particular Fabric in which the module is
installed.

NOTE:

The network IP address set on the I/O module by the CMC is not saved to a

configuration file. To save the IP address configuration permanently, use the

connect switch-n

RACADM command, or use a direct interface to the I/O

module GUI.

NOTE:

Do not attempt to configure I/O module network settings for Ethernet

passthrough or Infiniband switches.

1 Log in to the CMC’s Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC

Using the Web-Based Interface" on page 25.

2 Select I/O Modules in the Chassis menu in the system tree.
3 Select the Setup tab. The Configuring I/O Modules Network Settings

page appears.
