Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module 1 and 2 The Intel® Modular Server System comes with one Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module installed in the rear module bay labeled ESM1. The modular server system can support up to two Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch modules. Each switch module has 12 internal ports and ten external ports. By default, the Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module assigns all internal and external ports to a default virtual LAN (VLAN). The internal ports connect the compute modules to the switch modules. There are two internal ports assigned to each compute module bay. The internal ports are labeled "Server 1: Port 1", "Server 1: Port 2", "Server 2: Port 1", ... "Server 6, Port2". All internal ports are enabled by default. Using the Configure Ports action dialog, an IT administrator can assign any internal port to a VLAN whether or not the compute module is installed. The external ports are visible from the rear of the system and must be physically patched by an IT administrator to an external network device. Using the Configure Ports action dialog, an IT administrator can enable or disable any external port, assign an external port to a VLAN, change the external port speed, and enable or disable Spanning Tree. The external ports are numbered as shown in Figure 58. Figure 58. External Ports The Intel® Modular Server Control UI enables an IT administrator to modify internal and external port settings, view health information and product details, and launch an advanced configuration interface. To view current status, available actions, and product details for an installed Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module, either click System > Switches in the left navigation panel or click the Chassis Back tab to display the back of the system and select the specific switch module from the back of the system graphic. The content displayed on the informational tabs, action box, and help box will be updated with product-specific information and actions available for the selected switch module highlighted in green. The current health and product summary information is quickly available by moving the mouse over the Health/Information icon located on the selected switch module.
