Note: For switch communication through the management module external Ethernet port, the switch module internal network interface and the management module internal and external interfaces must be on the same subnet.
2.2 BladeCenter Management Module
To use the Management Module to perform tasks in the coming sections remotely, first do the following: Open a browser and input the IP address of the MM. The default IP address of the external port of the management module is 192.168.70.125, the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default hostname is MMxxxxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the
