Also, if you change this setting to disabled, it is assumed that you plan on managing the Nortel Networks L2/3 GbESM via its own uplinks.

The default Nortel GbESM IP addressing that is provided by the Management Module for a new IBM Eserver BladeCenter is as follows:

￿Switch bay 1: 192.168.70.127/24

￿Switch bay 2: 192.168.70.128/24

￿Switch bay 3: 192.168.70.129/24

￿Switch bay 4: 192.168.70.130/24

Based on certain interactions within the IBM Eserver BladeCenter, it is usually not recommended to change the management IP address directly on the Nortel GbESM, but instead, only change it through the Management Module Web-based GUI.
