Factory Default vs. MM Assigned IP Addresses
Each switch must be assigned its own Internet Protocol address, which is used for communica- tion with a SNMP network manager or other transmission control protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) applications (for example, BootP or TFTP). The

Note – Switch modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 connect to server NICs 1 and 2, respec- tively. However, Windows operating systems using older I/O expansion adapters might show that switch modules installed in Bay 3 and Bay 4 connect to server NIC 4 and NIC 3, respec- tively.
Configuring the Default Gateway
The default Gateway IP address determines where packets with a destination address outside the current subnet should be sent. Usually, the default Gateway is a router or host acting as an IP gateway to handle switch connections to other subnets of other TCP/IP networks. If you want to access the switch from outside your local network, use the management module to assign a default Gateway address to the switch. Choose I/O Module Tasks > Configuration from the navigation pane on the left, and enter the default Gateway IP address (for example, 192.168.70.125). Click Save.
