4.2.1.1LAN hardware configuration Using IBP Modules

The following LAN connection blades in IBP mode can be used in fabric 1 (connection bay 1) and fabric 2 (connection bay 2) for the first mezzanine card:

Bay 1 (Bay2)

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8 in IBP mode

Fabric 3 has configuration restrictions in relation to the IBP modules. The fol- lowing table shows you which configurations are supported in fabric 3.

Bay 4

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8 in IBP mode

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 in IBP mode (optional1)

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12 in IBP mode (optional1)

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6 in IBP mode (optional1)

PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8 in IBP mode (optional1)

1Even though this constellation is possible, it does not make sense because only the first port can be used from the IBP module in bay 3.

Operation in Open Fabric mode

Open Fabric mode refers to the use of non-VIOM-capable LAN modules together with the Virtual-IO Manager. In this case, you can only work with vir- tual I/O parameters, and not with dedicated network connections.
