3040GSG.fm Page 2 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM 1 Introduction This guide provides instructions on how to install your Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC—referred to as the blade switch—in the Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY BX600 S2 system and to set up and configure it. The PRIMERGY BX600 S2—referred to as the BX600 system—supports up to four Ethernet blade switches in its blade bays. This guide also covers management options and troubleshooting help for the blade switch.
040GSG.fm Page 3 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Blade Switch Description Figure 1 shows the blade switch, which has these features: • 10 internal Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-X ports • 1 console port • 2 external 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports • 4 external small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module uplink ports that support 1000BASE-SX fiber and 10/100/1000BASE-T copper (only Cisco SFP modules are supported) Each port has an associated LED.
3040GSG.fm Page 4 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM The blade switch is powered from the BX600 S2 system backplane, and temperature management is provided by the BX600 S2 system. The blade switch has no fan. To set up the switch, you need a PC and an Ethernet (Category 5) straight-through cable (as shown) or a console cable (ships with the product).
3040GSG.fm Page 5 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM 3 BX600 System Architecture The four BX600 system I/O blade slots are on the rear panel (see Figure 2). You can insert blade switches into the NET1, NET2, NET3, and NET4 I/O blade slots.

3040GSG.fm Page 12 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Connecting through the Blade Switch Console Port Follow these steps to set up the blade switch by connecting it to a PC through its console port: Connect one end of the console cable to the blade switch console port. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of a PC. (See Figure 6.
3040GSG.fm Page 13 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Step 2 Start the terminal emulation session so you can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST). Step 3 On the PC terminal emulation program: a. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. b. Set the terminal emulation speed to 9600 baud. c. Set the flow control to None. Step 4 Go to the “Waiting for POST to Complete” section on page 16 to finish configuring the blade switch.

3040GSG.fm Page 15 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Step 3 On the console monitor, the management blade application displays a login screen. Log in by using these defaults: username root password root The management blade Console Main menu appears. Note Step 4 If the BX600 system is already configured, obtain the management blade username and password from the system administrator. If you use root for the username and password, you must change them later.
3040GSG.fm Page 16 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Step 10 Go to “Waiting for POST to Complete” section on page 16 to finish configuring the blade switch. If the blade switch is already installed and powered up when you use the BX600 system management blade console menu, you must reboot the switch to display the system configuration dialog: 1. Enter enable at the user EXEC ( Switch>) prompt, then enter reload at the privileged EXEC mode (Switch#) prompt. 2.
3040GSG.fm Page 17 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Completing the Initial Configuration Follow these steps to complete the setup program and to create an initial configuration. Note For information about how to automatically configure the blade switch, see the “Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway” chapter in the blade switch configuration guide.
3040GSG.fm Page 18 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Step 6 (Optional) Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by responding to the prompts. To configure SNMP later, press Return (which applies the default of no). If you accept the default, you can configure SNMP later through the CLI. Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: To configure SNMP now, enter yes. Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: yes Community string [public]: public The Current interface summary displays.

3040GSG.fm Page 20 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM 5 Managing the Blade Switch After you complete the initial configuration, use the device manager or other management options described in this section for further configuration. Using the Device Manager The simplest way to manage the blade switch is by using the device manager that is in its memory. This is a web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring.
3040GSG.fm Page 21 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Step 3 Use the device manager to perform basic blade switch configuration and monitoring. Refer to the device manager online help for more information. Using the Management Blade Web Interface You can monitor and manage the blade switches through the BX600 system web interface. Follow these steps: 1. Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation. 2. Enter the BX600 system IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The web interface appears. 3.
3040GSG.fm Page 22 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM • To reset the IP address, the subnet mask, or the gateway address, enter the new settings in the appropriate field, and click Apply and Reload. These settings apply only to VLAN 1. If you are using a management VLAN other than VLAN 1, the applied settings might not produce the intended results. See the BX600 system documentation for more information about setting these fields. • To enable polling, click Enable and Apply.
3040GSG.fm Page 23 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Other Management Options You can use SNMP management applications to configure and to manage the blade switch. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. See the “Accessing Help Online” section on page 24 for a list of supporting documentation. 6 In Case of Difficulty If you experience difficulty, help is available in this section and on Cisco.com.
3040GSG.fm Page 24 Monday, September 18, 2006 9:45 AM Resetting the Switch Configuration This section describes how to reset the blade switch configuration by rerunning the system configuration dialog. These are reasons why you might want to reset the blade switch: • You installed the blade switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong IP address. • You want to clear all configuration from the blade switch and assign a new IP address.
