HP proliant bl e-class Manual De Usuario

Before you configure the switch modules, HP recommends that you plan the configuration. 
As you plan, keep in mind the default settings, security issues and privileges, and whether 
you want to configure each switch module manually or configure multiple switch modules at 
the same time. 

 

IMPORTANT:  Refer to Appendix C for detailed default configuration settings. 

The interconnect switch ships with a default configuration with all ports (of both Switch A 
and Switch B) enabled and assigned the same virtual LAN (VLAN). In addition, the 
Integrated Administrator management connector (connected to internal port 23 of Switch A) 
is assigned to the same default VLAN. 

This default configuration simplifies your initial setup by allowing you to use a single uplink 
cable (from any external Ethernet connector) to connect the server blade enclosure and its 
server blades to your network. Keep in mind that your environment may require other 
configurations. 

When planning the configuration, consider the defaults for the following parameters:
