Select the IP Setup window to specify how the switch module will be assigned an
IP address to enable it to be identified on the network.
The switch default IP address is 192.168.70.1xx, where xx depends on the number
of the bay into which you have installed the switch module, as shown in Table 5.

To set up the switch module for remote management, highlight IP Setup in the main
menu and press Enter. The following window opens.
The switch module must have an IP address assigned to it so that a network
management system (that is, Telnet) client can find it on the network.
The fields listed under the Current Switch IP Settings heading are those currently
being used by the switch module. The fields listed under the New Switch IP
Settings heading are those that will be used after the switch module has been
restarted. Toggle the Get IP From field using the Spacebar to select from Manual,
BOOTP, or DCHP. This selects how the switch module will be assigned an IP
address on the next restart (or startup).
Note: BOOTP and DHCP are only supported through the four external Ethernet
ports on the switch module. To use BOOTP and DHCP, you must first enable
these ports for remote-management access through the BladeCenter
management and configuration program. For a detailed description of this
program, see the Eserver BladeCenter Type 8677 Installation and User's
Guide on the IBM BladeCenter Documentation CD.
The Get IP From options are:
BOOTP
The switch module will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is
turned on. The BOOTP protocol enables IP addresses, network masks, and
