You can access the management-module web interface through a network
or through a computer that is connected directly to the management module.
To connect a remote console to the management-module
web interface, you need the following equipment and information:
- A computer with Internet browser capability. To facilitate connections
at multiple locations, you can use a notebook computer.
- The management-module medium access control (MAC) address that is listed
on the label on the management module, if you need to look up the management-module
IP address on a DHCP server.
- For a networked connection to the management
module, you need the following equipment:
- A standard Ethernet cable
- A local Ethernet network port (facility connection)
- For direct connection of a computer to the management module remote management
and console (Ethernet) connector, you can use either a standard Ethernet cable
or an Ethernet crossover cable.
Connections through the advanced management-module serial port can access
only the management-module CLI. For information about accessing the management-module
CLI, see the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module Command-Line
Interface Reference Guide.
