Management Network
The HP 1:10GbE switch is an integral subsystem within the overall BladeSystem. The BladeSystem chassis
includes an Onboard Administrator as the central element for overall chassis and control.
The HP 1:10GbE switch communicates with the Onboard Administrator through its internal management
port (port 18). The factory default settings permit management and control access to the switch through
the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port on the Onboard Administrator, or the built-in console port. You also can
use the external Ethernet ports to manage and control the HP 1:10GbE switch.
The HP 1:10GbE switch management network has the following characteristics:
• Port 18—Management port 18 has a fixed configuration, as follows:
○ 100 Mbps
○ Full duplex
○ Flow control: both
○ No auto-negotiation
