Changing the IGESM’s blade server facing ports
Based on the stated goals of this scenario, any blade server ports (g0/1 – 14) also must be
placed into VLAN 1. The following text shows an example of placing the blade server in front
slot 1 into Access VLAN 1:
conf t
Places IGESM into configuration mode.
interface g0/1
Must be performed on any blade server facing port to be used for this test.
switchport mode access
Sets port for access.
switchport access VLAN 1
Sets blade server facing port (or ports) for VLAN 1.
end
Exits configuration mode.
write
Saves configuration to NVRAM.
If you leave the port going to the blade server as a trunk, you must block the IGESM’s
management VLAN from this trunk. See the caveat at the beginning of this section for details.
Important: As already noted in this scenario, using a single VLAN to carry both user and
management traffic is not considered a best practice and such a design is not
recommended for use in a production network.
