84 Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module
Enable IGESM uplink ports through the Management Module
In this section, we enable the Ethernet ports of the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet
Switch Module from the BladeCenter Management Module. In the I/O Module Tasks
→
Management (Bay 1 Ethernet SM) window shown in Figure 6-4 on page 83, click Advanced
Management. If necessary, scroll down to the Advanced Setup section. You must at least set
the External ports to Enabled for data to be sent out through the switch (Figure 6-5). Click
Save for the changes to be applied immediately.
Figure 6-5 I/O Module Tasks: Management - Advanced Setup
In our example, we enabled all options except External Management over all ports under
Advanced Setup. Review the list to determine what items you seek to enable:
򐂰 Fast POST
Use this field to enable or disable fast POST on this module. When fast POST is enabled,
memory diagnostics are bypassed; when disabled, memory diagnostics are executed
during POST.
򐂰 External ports
Use this field to enable or disable the external ports of this I/O module. When the external
ports are disabled, no traffic can go through these ports.
If this field is set to Disabled, any attempt at performing no shutdown on ports G0/17 -20
will result in an error message such as Shutdown not allowed.
