Configure Ports Dialog The Configure Ports dialog enables an IT administrator to modify the following parameters for each Intel® Ethernet Switch Module: • Enable or disable external ports • Assign any port (internal or external) to a VLAN • Set the external port Speed • Enable or Disable Spanning Tree on external ports Steps to assign an internal or external port to a VLAN: 1. Click System > Switches in the left navigation panel. 2. Select the switch module to be configured. 3. Click Configure Ports in the selected switch Action menu. 4. To add ports to a new or existing VLAN, type the VLAN number in the box under the VLAN column for the specific port. Each individual port can be assigned to only one VLAN at a time. The compute module does not have to be present in the system in order to assign the internal ports to a VLAN. 5. Click Apply. The Configure Ports dialog simplifies the VLAN configuration process by removing the step to create a VLAN before assigning ports. The VLAN number entered in the Configure Ports dialog in step 4 can either be a new VLAN number or an existing VLAN number, since the Apply process creates the VLAN and also assigns the ports. The following image illustrates the Configure Ports dialog. Intel® Modular Server System User Guide 95
