IP Setup
When you select IP Setup from the Configuration menu, a window similar to the
following opens:
This window is used to determine whether the switch should get its IP Address
settings from the user (Manual), a BOOTP server, or a DHCP server. If you are not
using either BOOTP or DHCP, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway of the switch. If you enable BOOTP, you do not need to configure any IP
parameters because a BOOTP server automatically assigns IP configuration
parameters to the switch. If you enable DHCP, a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol request will be sent when the switch is turned on. Once you have selected
a setting under Get IP From, click Apply to activate the new settings.
Note: BOOTP and DHCP are only supported through the four external Ethernet
ports on the switch module. To use BOOTP and DHCP, you must first enable
these ports for remote-management access through the BladeCenter
management and configuration program. For a detailed description of this
program, see the Eserver BladeCenter Type 8677 Installation and User’s
Guide on the IBM BladeCenter Documentation CD.
The switch default IP address is 192.168.70.1xx, where xx depends on the number
of the bay into which you have installed the switch module, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Default IP addresses based on switch-module bay numbers (IP Setup window of
Web-based Configuration menu)
Bay number Default IP address
Bay 1 192.168.70.127
Bay 2 192.168.70.128
Bay 3 192.168.70.129
Bay 4 192.168.70.130
The data fields on the IP Setup window are described as follows:
