Chapter 6

NOTE A sample alternative Ethernet Switch Blade VLAN configuration is provided in Chapter 6. It

allows you to reconfigure your default VLAN topology into a more extensive and nontrivial

bootup VLAN topology if desired. Additional examples are also located on the Ethernet Switch

Blade at /etc/rcZ.d/examples.

HP bc2100 ATCA Server Blade Startup Configuration

The factory default connection of the Server Blade port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) slots are listed in Table 6-2 and

defines if they are enabled or disabled at preboot execution environment (PXE). The Server Blade default

BIOS configuration (given in Table 6-2) connects the four Server Blade fabric ports to the Ethernet Switch

Blades via the 14-Slot Shelf backplane.

NOTE You must reconfigure the default HP bc2100 ATCA Server Blade BIOS in order for the PXE

Boot process to enable server ports 2 through 5. Use the procedure described in “The HP

bc2100 ATCA Server Blade Firmware” on page 52, steps 1 – 4 to access the BIOS main screen.
