5.3 Start up and Configuration the Ethernet Connection Blade
Module
It’s important to understand the Ethernet Connection Blade Module architecture when configuring the
Ethernet Connection Blade Module. The Ethernet Connection Blade Module has two types of ports. One
type is for interfacing the Ethernet Connection Blade Module with PRIMERGY BX400/BX900 Blade
Server, and the other type are regular Ethernet ports used for connecting PRIMERGY BX400/BX900
Blade Server to the external network.
The Ethernet Connection Blade Module is connected to PRIMERGY BX400/BX900 Blade Server
(Management Board) MMB through 36 (SB6: 18) internal ports called the Internal Ports. The maximum
link speed through the Internal Ports is 1 Gigabit per port. The port configuration ID’s are g1 to g36 (g1 to
18 for SB6). To connect the Ethernet Connection Blade Module to the external network there are eight
(SB6: six) PHY based ports and 4 SFP 1Gigabit or 2 SFP+ 10 Gigabit ports (depended on the platform
type) called the External Ports.
The default configuration of the internal and external ports is as follows:
External Ports
Function Default Setting
Flow Control Off (disabled on ingress)
Back Pressure Off (disabled on ingress)
Auto Negotiation Enabled
Table: Default configuration for external ports.
Internal Ports
Function Default Setting
Speed and duplex auto negotiation One Gigabit/Full speed
Flow Control Disabled
Auto negotiation of Flow Control Disabled
Table: Default configuration for internal ports.
