Tiering The Avocent iKVM Switch From An Analog KVM Switch The Avocent iKVM switch can be tiered from analog KVM switches such as the Dell 2160AS and 180AS, as well as many Avocent analog KVM switches. Many switches may be tiered without the need for a SIP. The cabling requirements for specific external switches are as follows: • Dell PowerConnect 180AS, 2160AS (version 1.0.3.2 or later) or Avocent Autoview 2020, 2030 (version 1.6.0.
NOTE: In addition to the steps outlined above, some external analog switches may require you to perform additional steps to ensure that the iKVM switch blades are displayed in the external analog switch OSCAR. For more information, see the external analog switch documentation. Resynchronizing The Server List At The Remote Client Workstation Once the iKVM module is connected, the blades are displayed in OSCAR.
FlexAddress The FlexAddress feature allows server modules to replace the factory assigned World Wide Name and Media Access Control (WWN/MAC) network IDs with WWN/MAC IDs provided by the chassis. FlexAddress is delivered on a Secure Digital (SD) card that must be inserted into the CMC to provide the chassis-assigned WWN/MAC IDs. Every server module is assigned unique WWN and MAC IDs as part of the manufacturing process.
Configuring The I/O Modules 3 Network Information You can configure your I/O switch modules using: • CMC web-based interface. NOTE: The default IP address for the CMC is 192.168.0.120. • CMC CLI using serial console redirection. • Direct access to the I/O module serial port (if supported). • I/O module default IP address (if supported).
