2 Modifying the converged network switch IP address

•If required, management workstation (computer) that has a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal) or a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) device. Note that this is only required if not changing the converged network switch IP address through the Blade Server Enclosure GUI or CLI management programs.

•An unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address unless DHCP is used.

•If required, a serial cable to connect to the switch module serial console port. Note that this is only required if not changing the switch module IP address through the Blade Server Enclosure GUI or CLI management programs.

•Transceivers and compatible fibre cables, as required. The switch module can also use twin-ax copper cables.

NOTE

Use only Dell-approved transceivers on the external ports of this module.

•Access to an FTP server for backing up the converged network switch configuration.

•Access to these publications:

•Blade Server Enclosure Hardware Owner’s Manual

•Blade Server Enclosure Configuration Guide

•Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator’s Guide

•Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference

•Dell Fabric OS MIB Reference Manual

Modifying the converged network switch IP address

By default, the IP address for the converged network switch is configured as 10.77.77.77 with a default Ethernet subnetmask of 255.255.255.0. The default gateway is 0.0.0.0.

You can set the IP address using three methods. If the IP values are set using any of these methods, the IP values are stored on the switch module.

•Blade Server Enclosure CMC CLI.

•Blade Server Enclosure CMC graphical user interface (GUI).

•Dell M8428-k command line interface (CLI).

After modifying the switch module’s IP address and domain name (if switch module is in full fabric mode), we recommend that you cable all external ports to fabric connections before bringing the switch module online.

ATTENTION

Do not connect the switch module to the internal network until the IP address is correctly set for your Ethernet network requirements.

NOTE

It is recommended that you set the IP address using the Blade Server Enclosure CMC GUI application because this enables centralized management of the converged network switch.
