initial setup

This chapter discusses the network topology and the hardware configured to provide you with

a tested and working configuration to help implement your Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit

Ethernet Switch Module (IGESM) for the IBM Eserver BladeCenter.

As noted elsewhere in this document, the information herein applies to the 4-port

copper-based IGESM running a 12.1(14) version of IOS. If working with the 4-port SFP-based

IGESM or a 4-port copper-based IGESM running 12.1(22) and above code, see the

appropriate document for those solutions.
