Switch Centralized Management Configuration

NOTE:

If switch centralized management is enabled, the switch module configuration uses the easyLink switch profiles of the management module. To configure services on the Fabric plane of the switch module, disable switch centralized management first; otherwise, the configuration will not be synchronized to the management module and will become invalid after the switch module is restarted. Online delivery will cause a short interruption of ports related to the Switch profile.

  • On: enables the switch centralized management configuration function and allows you to configure ports for connecting the switch module and NIC.

    After enabling switch centralized management, Configuration Wizard is automatically displayed. After completing the wizard-based configuration, Configuration Wizard, Switch Configuration, NIC Profile and easyLink Network Info are displayed in the navigation tree.

NOTE:

When this function is enabled:

  1. You cannot run the offlineconfig command to load the profile to or delete the profile from a switch module.
  2. You cannot set the IP address for the switch module by running the swipcontrol command or on the Chassis Settings > Network Settings > Swi pages using the WebUI.
  • Off: disables the switch centralized management configuration function.

    If this function is disabled, Configuration Wizard, Switch Configuration, NIC Profile and easyLink Network Info are not displayed in the navigation tree.
