Lan in a BL460c

[Feljav]

How can I enabling the lan cards in a Blade BL460 c? The ethernet pass thru is on. What is the next step?

[Raghuarch · Accepted solution]

connect a cable from the pass through to an external switch or a network jack.

If you have the DHCP configured in your network and if the NIC has the Drivers, you should be able to get a IP.

I did that but in the Blade the lan cards appear disconnected. Yes I have DHCP in my network and the NICs have the drivers. What can I do?

[Raghuarch]

Login to OA and select the Interconnect (Pass through) select port mapping.
Verify the Port mapping is correct from blade to the interconnect.
Check you have the cable for right port in pass through.

What is the right port?

[Raghuarch]

what i meant by right was correct port.
Check the cable is properly plugged in.

I assume you are using the embedded NIC of BL460c.

Yes the cable is properly plugged in. What is Mezz?

[Raghuarch]

Mezz cards are additional NICs or HBA's for the server.

I hope this helps.

make sure you are connecting to a switch that supports 1Gb. BL460c NICs can only connect at 1Gb

[rick jones]

Or rather the _pass-through module_ can only to 1gig. ISTR that with the switch modules (GbE2c, GbE2c L2/3, 3020, 1/10Gb VC Enet) the story is different.
