Chapter 9. Management 527
9.14.2 BladeCenter requirements
The BladeCenter chassis must be correctly configured before you can use the CLI and SoL.
AMM is able to communicate and manage the blades effectively using management virtual
LAN (VLAN) 4095 through switches in bays 1 and 2. By default, all internal ports of all
BladeCenter switches are members of VLAN 4095.
Network switch requirements
You must verify a few settings to ensure that SoL will work on the chassis and the HX5. The
network has these prerequisites:
One Ethernet switch (any vendor) in Bay 1, regardless of the chassis type.
Confirm that the HX5 is a member of VLAN 4095.
Enabling SoL in the AMM
An HX5 requires the AMM to function. You must set and adjust the following settings in the
AMM:
1. In the AMM, ensure that the management network VLAN ID is set to 4095, which is the
default setting. To check the setting, select Blade Tasks Configuration
Management Network (Figure 9-86).
Figure 9-86 Management Network VLAN ID setting
2. If the HX5 works properly with the management VLAN ID 4095, select Blade Tasks
Power/Restart to verify that the Management Network icon is green, as shown in
Figure 9-87.

Cisco switch: If you use a Cisco switch, make sure that the firmware is at Version
12.1(22)EA6a or newer.
