Release Notes for the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules for the IBM BladeCenter
43W7806
Documentation Updates
Software Configuration Guide Updates
The switch does not support the verify user EXEC command.
These corrections apply to the software configuration guide in the referenced chapter.
“Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication” Chapter
This information about the dot1x timeout tx-period seconds interface configuration command is 
incorrect: 
The range for seconds is from 5 to 65535.
The correct range is from 1 to 65535 seconds.
“Configuring Network Security with ACLs” Chapter
This information was corrected in the Applying ACLs to a Physical Interface section:
This example shows how to apply access list 2 on an interface to filter packets entering the interface:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/20
Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 2 in
“Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway” Chapter
This information was added to the chapter:
Configuring Protected Mode
By default, protected mode is disabled, and the BladeCenter chassis management module controls the 
CIGESM blade switch. In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(22)EA9 and later, you can enable protected mode to 
prevent the management module from controlling the blade switch. By locking out the management 
module from control of the switch, server administrators cannot manage the switch from the 
management module. When protected mode is enabled, the chassis management module cannot control 
or configure these features and functions of the CIGESM blade switch:
IP addresses
Administration of external ports
Whether the blade switch can be managed with traffic received over external ports
That the CIGESM will not revert to the manufacturing default configuration
Note
To prevent physical damage to the blade switch, the management module can still reboot or power down 
the blade switch if the switch is in protected mode and an over-temperature or over-current condition is 
detected by the module.
