Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for HP BladeSystem p-Class Hardware Installation Guide

Switch Installation
Planning the Switch Configuration
Before you configure the switch, HP recommends that you plan the configuration. As you
plan, consider your default settings, security issues and privileges, and whether you want to
configure each switch manually or configure multiple switches at the same time.
Default Settings
The switch ships with a default configuration in which all ports are enabled except
Cross-Connect ports 17 and 18. All ports are assigned a default virtual LAN (VLAN) with
VLAN ID equal to 1.
For more information about planning the CGESM configuration, refer to the Cisco Gigabit
Ethernet Switch Module for HP BladeSystem p-Class Software Configuration Guide located
on the HP website at
