Operating instructions

Chapter 7. Cisco Systems IGESM configuration and network integration 149
򐂰 Commands are being performed in the sequence shown.
򐂰 BladeServer1: Trunk connection to Cisco Systems IGESM.
– The Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP, also know as the Broadcom
Advanced Control Suite) software has been installed on BladeServer1. BladeServer1
will be using the BASP software to create logical interfaces for VLANs 10, 15, 20, and
25, and all IP configuration will be performed on these logical interfaces (not on the
physical interfaces).
– Both ports will be using trunking (but not load balancing) through the Broadcom BASP
software; the first port will be configured for VLANs 10 and 15, the second port will be
configured for VLANs 20 and 25.
– We will be using the following IP addresses (24-bit masks):
First port, VLAN 10 to CIGESM1 10.1.10.1 (default gateway = 10.1.10.254)
First port, VLAN 15 to CIGESM1 10.1.15.1
Second port, VLAN 20 to CIGESM2 10.1.20.1
Second port, VLAN 25 to CIGESM2 10.1.25.1
Note that the choice to use more than one default gateway (for example, one on each
VLAN or one on several VLANs) is up to the user. See the discussion about default
gateways on multihomed systems in Appendix A, “Hints and tips” on page 227.
򐂰 BladeServer2: Access link connection to Cisco Systems IGESM.
– Neither port will be using the BASP software, and all configurations will be performed
directly on the interfaces.
– Both ports will be simple access links and will be placed on VLANs 10 and 20,
respectively, through port settings on the Cisco Systems IGESMs.
– We will be using the following IP addresses (24-bit masks):
First port, to CIGESM1: 10.1.10.2 (default gateway = 10.1.10.254)
Second port, to CIGESM2: 10.1.20.2
Note that the choice to use more than one default gateway (for example, one on each
VLAN) is up to the user. See the discussion about default gateways on multihomed
systems in Appendix A, “Hints and tips” on page 227.
򐂰 For BladeServer3: Server Load Balancing (SLB)- Access connection.
– The Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP, also know as the Broadcom
Advanced Control Suite) software has been installed on BladeServer3. BladeServer3
will be using the BASP software to create a single teamed logical interface for VLAN
30, and IP configuration will be performed on this single logical interface (not on the
physical interfaces).
– This logical port will connect to both CIGESM1 (port g0/3) and CIGESM2 (port g0/3)
and will be placed in VLAN 30 through access port settings on each Cisco Systems
IGESM. All IP configuration will be performed on this single logical interface (not on the
physical interfaces).
– We will be using the following IP address (24-bit masks):
BASP logical port, to CIGESM1: 10.1.30.3 (default gateway = 10.1.30.254)
򐂰 For BladeServer4: Server Load Balancing (SLB)- Trunk connection.
– The Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP, also know as the Broadcom
Advanced Control Suite) software has been installed on BladeServer4. BladeServer4
will be using the BASP software to create a single teamed element that, in turn, will be
used to produce four logical interfaces, one for each VLAN being used on
