Chapter 7. Cisco Systems IGESM configuration and network integration 201
After SoL is configured for the IGESM, the Management Module and, if necessary, the blade
servers must be configured. When all elements of SoL are configured, it will be possible to
connect to the blade servers via the SoL connection. (See the Serial over LAN configuration
guide for details).
Important: When configuring the SoL VLAN on the Management Module, it never asks
you to reboot after saving. Testing in the lab has shown that if you change the SoL VLAN
on the Management Module and do not reload the Management Module after saving the
config, that the SoL VLAN may not come ready. Therefore, it is always recommended that
you reload the Management Module after the SoL VLAN has been properly configured
(and saved) to match the VLAN being defined as the SoL VLAN on the IGESM.
