Management Network

The 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch is an integral subsystem within the overall BladeSystem. The BladeSystem chassis includes an Onboard Administrator as the central element for overall chassis and control.

The 10GbE switch communicates with the Onboard Administrator through its internal management port (port 17). The factory default settings permit management and control access to the switch through the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port on the Onboard Administrator, or the built-in console port. You also can use the external Ethernet ports to manage and control the 10GbE switch.

The 10GbE switch management network has the following characteristics:

•Port 17—Management port 17 has a fixed configuration, as follows:

○100 Mbps

○Full duplex

○Flow control: both

○No auto-negotiation
