CHAPTER 1 VSE SmartConnect Software Operation VSE SmartConnect Software Overview The Virtual Switch Extension (VSE) for IBM BladeCenter, SmartConnect, provides a simple Ethernet interface option for connecting a blade server chassis to the network infrastructure. The administrative effort and network skills required to connect to the network are minimized. The number and type of configuration options on the VSE SmartConnect software are restricted to reduce the initial setup complexity and

SmartConnect User’s Guide The VSE SmartConnect software permits the uplink ports to auto-negotiate the flow-control settings of each link (the default setting). Port characteristics can also be configured to speci- fied values. All of the trunked uplink ports in each VSG must be configured to the same port characteristics in order to participate (form an active link) in the trunk. Note – In the default switch configuration in which all external ports (even those of different physical types) b

SmartConnect User’s Guide VSE SmartConnect Software Quick Start When VSE SmartConnect software is loaded, the default configuration allows the switch to function correctly with no configuration changes. The administrator must make some configu- ration changes to the upstream network device and the blades in the blade chassis, as described in the following sections. Configuring the Chassis Management System The link through the management system is used to connect to the switch. The management
