10 Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module
10/100 Mb internal link that connects the Management Module and the Ethernet Switch
Modules through the BladeCenter backplane are exploited (notice that the internal network
interface of the Management Module has a default static IP address of 192.168.70.126).
These more complete tools can also be accessed by pointing your Web browser or a Telnet
client to the IP of the Ethernet Switch Module itself (default for a module plugged in Rear Bay
1 is 192.168.70.127, but DHCP-based addressing can be configured). Notice that this latter
capability requires the management system to connect through the external ports (on the
production LAN) of the Ethernet Switch Module and therefore might potentially raise concerns
about security. That is why the customer, in the Switch Tasks of the Management Module
interface, has the capability to disable configuration control through the external ports. See
Figure 2-6.
