under the actions box.
Configuring an Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switches come pre-configured with all available ports enabled in
a single default VLAN. No additional configuration is required to connect the Intel
®
Modular Server System MFSYS25 to a network.
Two options are available to modify the default switch configuration. The Configure Ports
action menu item enables an IT administrator to quickly and easily modify port and
Virtual LAN (VLAN) settings. The following figure displays the Configure Ports dialog
box within the Intel
®
Modular Server Control UI. To make additional changes to the
switch configuration, select Advanced Configuration from the Actions box. The
Advanced Configuration action launches a separate switch configuration interface in a
new window. Refer to the
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch AXXSW1GB User Guide
for
more information on how to use the Advanced Configuration.
Configure Ports Dialog
The Configure Ports dialog box enables an IT administrator to quickly modify common
port and VLAN settings for all internal and external ports. External ports are listed as Ext.
1, Ext. 2, etc. External ports are the ports that are visible on the switch module from the
back of the system. The Configure Ports dialog provides a graphic which displays the
external port numbering. Internal ports are listed as server 1.1, server 1.2, server 2.1, etc.
There are two internal ports per server slot. The server does not have to be present in the
system to configure the internal ports. The Configure Ports dialog enables the IT
administrator to enable or disable all ports and assign any port (internal or external) to a
specific VLAN. To add ports to a VLAN, simply input a new VLAN number in the
appropriate box of the Configure Ports dialog and click Apply. The Apply process creates
the VLAN and assigns the ports in a single step. The Configure Ports dialog simplifies the
VLAN configuration process by removing the step to create a VLAN before assigning
ports. The Configure Ports dialog only allows a single port to be assigned to a single
VLAN. Additionally, the port speed and spanning tree settings are configurable for
external ports in the Configure Ports dialog.
The following image illustrates the Configure Ports dialog.
