Upgrading from an RJ-45 Patch Panel or RJ-45 Patch Panel 2
CAUTION:
Removing a patch panel from a powered enclosure will result in the loss of network
communications between the server blade network ports that are connected through this patch panel and the
segment of network infrastructure those ports need to communicate.
segment of network infrastructure those ports need to communicate.
IMPORTANT:
If you are replacing an existing GbE2 Interconnect Switch, or upgrading from a GbE
Interconnect Switch, an RJ-45 Patch Panel, or an RJ-45 Patch Panel 2, and you have strict security requirements:
Do not cable the GbE2 Interconnect Switch until after configuration.
Or
Connect the GbE2 Interconnect Switch to the optional Diagnostic Station. The Diagnostic Station enables you
to power up, configure, and diagnose a ProLiant p-Class server blade or a ProLiant p-Class GbE2 Interconnect
Switch outside of the rack environment.

From the rear side of the server blade enclosure, slide out the top and bottom patch panel modules (total of four)
from the module bays and unplug the cables.

Planning the GbE2 Interconnect Switch configuration
Before you configure the GbE2 Interconnect Switch, HP recommends that you plan the configuration. As you plan,
consider your default settings, security issues and privileges, and whether you want to configure each GbE2
Interconnect Switch manually or configure multiple GbE2 Interconnect Switches at the same time.

Default settings
The GbE2 Interconnect Switches ship with a default configuration in which all ports are enabled and assigned a
default VLAN with a VLAN ID (VID)
default VLAN with a VLAN ID (VID)
equal to 1. This default configuration simplifies your initial setup by allowing you
to use a single uplink cable (from any external Ethernet connector) to connect your server blade enclosure to your
network. You need to assess your particular server environment to determine any requirements for other
considerations.
network. You need to assess your particular server environment to determine any requirements for other
considerations.
When planning the configuration, consider the default settings for the following parameters:
•
Switch IP settings
•
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) settings
•
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) settings
•
Port names and types
•
Port trunking settings
•
Interswitch X-Connect port settings
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings
