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

[Justin C Darby]

Enable protected mode on the AMM, then 'platform chassis-management
protected-mode' on your switch. The switch will require a reload and sever
the fastethernet management ports automatically.

We do this all the time here. :) Note that this seriously breaks any
existing configuration in some circumstances (which I won't get to here). I
strongly suggest you use the provided stacking cables at least between two
switches in one Bladecenter chassis if your switch does stacking (I use
3110x's, mostly, so it's required to get 10GbE uplink redundancy).

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  -----Original Message-----

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. :-)  --  Peter   _______________________________________________
