  Chapter 6: Configuring Switch Access

BMD00082, February 2009

Each switch must be assigned its own Internet Protocol address, which is used for communica-
tion with a SNMP network manager or other transmission control protocol/Internet Protocol 
(TCP/IP) applications (for example, BootP or TFTP). The factory-default IP address is 
10.90.90.9x, where x corresponds to the number of the bay into which the switch is installed 
(for additional information, see the Installation Guide). The management module assigns an IP 
address of 192.168.70.1xx, where xx corresponds to the number of the bay into which each 
switch is installed, as shown in the following table: 

 

Switch modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 connect to server NICs 1 and 2, respec-

tively. However, Windows operating systems using older I/O expansion adapters might show 
that switch modules installed in Bay 3 and Bay 4 connect to server NIC 4 and NIC 3, respec-
tively. 

The default Gateway IP address determines where packets with a destination address outside 
the current subnet should be sent. Usually, the default Gateway is a router or host acting as an 
IP gateway to handle switch connections to other subnets of other TCP/IP networks. If you 
want to access the switch from outside your local network, use the management module to 
assign a default Gateway address to the switch. Choose I/O Module Tasks > Configuration 
from the navigation pane on the left, and enter the default Gateway IP address (for example, 
192.168.70.125). Click Save.
