Using Express Setup to Assign a VLAN 1 IP Address to the Switch Module
Use these steps to assign an IP address to the VLAN 1 interface through Express Setup. You must start these steps immediately after you have installed the switch module (see the “Installing the Switch Module in the Blade Server” section on page 6).
Note If approximately 2 minutes pass after you press the Mode button, obtaining the VLAN 1 IP address through Express Setup is no longer possible unless you remove and then
To prepare the switch module:
Step 1 Verify that no devices are connected to the switch module, because during Express Setup, the switch module acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, before you begin you should change your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP.
As the switch module powers on, it begins the
Step 2 Wait for the switch module to complete POST. It might take several minutes for the switch module to complete POST.
Step 3 Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the system and status LEDs remain green.
If the switch module fails POST, the system LED turns amber. If the POST fails, see the “In Case of Difficulty” section on page 21 to determine a course of action. POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch module fails POST.
