4.You can use the default IP addresses provided by the management module, or you can assign a new IP address to the switch through the management module.

You can assign this IP address through one of the following methods:

„Manually through the management module

„Automatically through the blade server chassis Configuration Wizard

Note – If you change the IP address of the switch, make sure that the switch and the manage- ment module both reside on the same subnet.

In Advanced Configuration > Advanced Setup, enable “Preserve new IP configuration on all switch resets,” to retain the switch’s IP interface when you restore factory defaults. This set- ting preserves the management port’s IP address in the management module’s memory, so you maintain connectivity to the management module after a reset.

You now can start a Telnet session, Browser-Based Interface (BBI) session, a Secure Shell ses- sion, or a secure HTTPS session to the switch.

5.For HTTPS access, you must enable HTTPS on the switch. For example:

>>/cfg/sys/access/https/access e

For more information about SSH access, refer to “Secure Shell and Secure Copy” on page 78.
