Nortel Networks 43W7774 manual Default Gateway, Configuring management module for switch access

Alteon OS Command Reference

Switch Module is installed. For additional information, see the Installation Guide). The man- agement module assigns an IP address of 192.168.70.1xx, where xx corresponds to the number of the bay into which each GbE Switch Module is installed, as shown in the following table:

Table 1-1GbESM IP addresses, based on switch-module bay numbers

Bay number	Factory-default IP address	IP address assigned by MM
Bay 1	10.90.90.91	192.168.70.127
Bay 2	10.90.90.92	192.168.70.128
Bay 3	10.90.90.94	192.168.70.129
Bay 4	10.90.90.97	192.168.70.130

NOTE – Switch Modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 connect to server NICs 1 and 2, respec- tively. However, Windows operating systems show that Switch Modules installed in Bay 3 and Bay 4 connect to server NICs 4 and 3, respectively.

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 connections to other subnets of other TCP/IP networks. If you want to access the GbE Switch Module from outside your local network, use the management module to assign a default Gateway address to the GbE Switch Module. 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.

Configuring management module for switch access

Complete the following initial configuration steps:

1.Connect the Ethernet port of the management module to a 10/100 Mbps network (with access to a management station) or directly to a management station.

2.Access and log on to the management module, as described in the BladeCenter Manage- ment Module User’s Guide. The management module provides the appropriate IP addresses for network access (see the applicable BladeCenter Installation and User’s Guide publications for more information).

3.Select Configuration on the I/O Module Tasks menu on the left side of the BladeCenter Management Module window. See Figure 1-1.
