Configuring the Switch Module Ethernet Interface
You must configure the Ethernet interface for both JCS switch modules (switch[1] and switch[2]) on the JCS management module.
 | Note: The IP address for the JCS switch modules must be on the same subnet as the IP address for the JCS management module. |
To configure the JCS switch module Ethernet interface on the JCS management module:
- Log in to the JCS management module.
- Use the env command to set JCS switch module
1 (switch[1]) as the configuration target. For example:
system> env —T switch[1] - Use the ifconfig command to configure the interface. For example:
system:switch[1]> ifconfig —i 192.168.171.98 —g 192.168.171.254 —s 255.255.252.0 —em enabled —ep enabledIn this example, the Ethernet interface for JCS switch module 1 is configured for an IP address of 192.168.171.98 and a gateway address of 192.168.171.254. The subnet mask is 255.255.252.0. The external ports (ep) of the switch module are enabled.
- Repeat this procedure for JCS switch module 2. Use the env command to set switch module 2 (switch[2]) as the
configuration target. For example:
system> env —T switch[2] - Use the ifconfig command to configure the interface.
For example:
system:switch[2]> ifconfig —i 192.168.171.99 —g 192.168.171.254 —s 255.255.252.0 —em enabled —ep enabledIn this example, the Ethernet interface for JCS switch module 2 is configured for an IP address of 192.168.171.99 and a gateway address of 192.168.171.254. The subnet mask is 255.255.252.0. The external ports (ep) of the switch module are enabled.
