• Identify the bays in which you will insert the switch modules. Plan to install the first switch module in bay 1, the second in bay 2, and so on up to bay 8, if possible. The bay in which you choose to install each switch module depends on whether mezzanine or Ethernet cards are installed in the blade enclosure and how they are configured. - Page 11 Follow these steps to install the switch module in the blade enclosure. The illustrations in this section show the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP switch module. The instructions are the same for the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP switch module.

After you have installed the switch module (see the “HP Blade System Architecture” section on page 9), it powers on. The switch module begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch module functions properly. - Page 14 Choose Enclosure Information > Interconnect Bays to open the Interconnect Bay Summary Step 5 window where you can find the assigned IP address of the switch module Fa0 interface in the Management URL column.

You can enter the Optional Settings information now or enter it later by using the device manager interface. The fields in the Express Setup page depend on the type of switch module. Not all fields are Note available in the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP switch module Express Setup page. - Page 17 Figure 8 Advanced Settings Tab In the Host Name field, enter a name for the switch module. The host name is limited to Step 2 31 characters; embedded spaces are not allowed. In the System Date and System Time fields, enter the current date and time, or use the down Step 3 arrows to select them.
- Page 18 When you set the SNMP write community, you can both access and modify SNMP information. Step 10 In the System Contact field, enter the name of the person who is responsible for the switch module. In the System Location field, enter the wiring closet, floor, or building where the switch module is located.

Page 19: Using The Device Manager
Using the Device Manager The simplest way to manage the switch module is by using the device manager that is in the switch module memory. This is a web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. - Page 20 Figure 9 Device Manager Page for the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP...

Page 21: Using The Command Line Interface
Using the Command-Line Interface You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the CLI either by connecting your PC directly to the switch module console port or through a Telnet session from a remote PC or workstation. -
Page 22: Other Management Options
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution (SNMS) to configure and manage the switch module. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. - Page 23 Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP) A switch stack is a set of up to nine stacking-capable switch modules that are connected through their StackWise Plus ports. One of the switches controls the operation of the stack and is called the stack master.

Page 24: Stack Cabling Configurations
Step 1 Install the member switch modules if you have not already done so. Connect the StackWise Plus cables as described in the “Planning and Creating a Switch Stack Step 2 (Only the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP)” section on page 23. - Page 25 Insert the cable into the StackWise Plus port on the front panel of the switch. Insert the other Step 3 end of the cable into the connector of the other switch. Always use a Cisco-approved StackWise Plus cable to connect the switches.

The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default on the switch. At this setting, the switch module ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the switch module port speed and the duplex parameters. -
Page 27: Verify Port Connectivity
This process takes about 30 seconds. Then the LED turns green when the switch module and the attached device have an established link. If the LED is off, the device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the device. -
