Configuring the converged network switch
Use procedures in this section to configure the converged network switch to operate on a network and fabric.
Provided are steps to assign an IP address for the Ethnert Management Network, and how to change the module's
Fiber Channel operating mode.
NOTE
Although the converged network switch is configured at the factory for NPIV mode, NPIV mode can be disabled to use
full fabric mode as needed. Refer to procedures under the section titled
fabric mode" on page 13.
This publication provides procedures that use the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) browser-based GUI
application and the switch Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the switch module. Other methods exist for
managing I/O modules and can also be used.
Items required
The following items are required for configuring and connecting the converged network switch for use in a network
and fabric:
•
The converged network switch installed in a blade server enclosure.
•
A management workstation (computer) that has a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal) connected to the
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) GUI or CLI via Ethernet or Seial port, or connected to the CMC or
converged network switch CLI through the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) device of the blade server
enclosure.
•
An unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address unless DHCP is used.
•
If required, a serial cable to connect to the switch module serial console port. Note that this is not required if
changing the converged network switch IP address through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) or KVM
of the blade server enclosure using the CMC GUI or CLI.
•
SFP transceivers and compatible fibre cables, as required. The switch module can also use active twin-ax
copper cables on the 10G Enhanced Ethernet ports.
NOTE
Use only Dell-approved SFPs or active twin-ax copper cables on the external ports of this module.
