About Embedded Switch Module configuration

Use procedures in this chapter to configure the Embedded Switch Module to operate on a network and fabric. Also
use steps to change the Embedded Switch Module's operating mode (Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes).
NOTE
Although the Embedded Switch Module is configured at the factory for Fabric OS Native mode, you can enable it for
Access Gateway mode. For more information, refer to
page 17
This chapter provides configuration procedures that use Embedded Switch Module Command Line Interface (CLI)
and the Web Tools application. For details refer to the Web Tools Administrator's Guide, Access Gateway
Administrator's Guide, and Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. If the same operation can be performed using
the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade application, use that application instead.

Items required for configuration

The following items are required for configuring and connecting the Embedded Switch Module for use in a network
and fabric:
•
The Embedded Switch Module installed in a Blade Server chassis. For instructions, refer to the steps on
installing an I/O module in the PRIMERGY BX900 S1 Basic Unit Operating Manual for the Blade Server chassis.
•
Access to an FTP server for backing up the Embedded Switch Module configuration.
•

•
SFP transceivers and compatible fiber cables, as required.
•
If DHCP is not used to set the Embedded Switch Module IP address, you will need an unused IP address and a
corresponding subnet mask and gateway address. DHCP-enabled is the default.
•
If the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade GUI or CLI management is not used to change the Embedded
Switch Module IP address, you will need a management workstation (computer) that has a terminal emulator
(such as HyperTerminal) or a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) device. You will also need a serial cable to
connect the workstation to the Embedded Switch Module serial console port.
