To configure the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 switch module using the DRAC/MC module,
perform the following steps.
1 Log on to the DRAC/MC Telnet or serial interface.
2 To redirect the switch console through the DRAC/MC console, enter the following command:
connect switch-x
where x is the module slot number on the chassis. For example, if you are connecting to
switch module 1, type connect switch-1
3 Enter privileged EXEC mode:
switch-1> enable
4 Configure the number of Telnet sessions (lines), and enter line configuration mode:
switch-1# line vty 0 15
5 If applicable, enter a Telnet password:
switch-1# password password
6 Change to terminal configuration mode:
switch-1# configure terminal
7 Change to interface configuration mode, and enter the VLAN number to which the IP
information is assigned. The default value is 1.
switch-1(config)# interface vlan vlan-id
8 Specify the IP address and subnet mask:
switch-1(config-vlan)# ip address ip-address subnet-mask
9 Return to global configuration mode:
switch-1(config-vlan)# exit
10 Specify the IP address of the default gateway:
switch-1(config)# ip default-gateway ip-address
11 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
switch-1(config)# end
