Switch Set Up

Before you can access the BBI, minimal configuration is required on the GbE Switch Module.

IP Interfaces

At least one IP interface must be configured on the switch. This is configured from the man- agement module and not the command-line interface. The management module assigns the management IP address by default, starting at 192.168.70.127 for I/O module slot 1 through 192.168.70.130 for I/O module slot 4.

Each IP interface address provides a point of access for Alteon OS switch management. The default management interface is 128, which allows access to Alteon OS switch management via the management module network only.

For complete information about configuring IP interfaces, see your GbE Switch Module Installation Guide.
