[c-nsp] Catalyst Blade Switch 3012 inband management?

[Eric Girard]

Peter,
	I'm not familiar with the IBM, but when I deploy the 3x20 for the HP chassis, I just disable to the Fa0 port to cut it off from the HP Onboard Administrator, and then proceed to configure it as a 'regular' switch with a management VLAN that comes in on the regular uplinks to the rest of the network.  Hope that helps.

Eric

Hmm... it seems that the bladecenter management interface actually
carries this traffic, i.e. the switch management is the same VLAN as I
place the Bladecenter AMM in.

Is there any way around this? I don't like placing server stuff (like
the AMM) together with my switches. :-)
