Management
The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 is accessible for management and configuration by any of
the following traffic paths:
the following traffic paths:
●
Out-of-band management
●
In-band management
●
Serial console port
These traffic paths provide three different management options for network administration and
support different user and application interfaces to the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130. The
remote management of the blade servers within the blade enclosure is critical to an efficient and
scalable data center. The various Blade Server vendors offer connectivity options provided using
the enclosure to the blade servers are also discussed. See the particular Appendix for your
enclosure type.

Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the practice of dedicating an interface on the managed device for
carrying management traffic. It is also the recommended management method for blade systems.
Out-of-band management isolates the management and data traffic and provides a more secure
environment.

The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 contains an additional Fast Ethernet port, which connects to
the Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC), providing out-of-band management using the
CMC interface (GUI or CLI). The user may also use this path to access the CLI functions of the
switch, transfer SNMP information, and upload software images and configuration files. This path is
