Active System Manager Release 8.1.1 User’s Guide

I/O Module Configuration

Use this page to configure uplinks on the MXL Switches and IOAs within one or more chassis.

NOTE: ASM supports configuration of uplinks on MXL Switches and IOAs. It supports VLT workload network configuration too.

NOTE: MXL is a 10Gb/40Gb Ethernet blade switch used in our M1000E chassis. During the ASM onboarding process we can configure management IP address, credentials, basic management settings, and configure an uplink to the top of rack networking device for the chassis.
An I/O module is a switch for a blade chassis.

From this page, you can:

Define the uplinks. For more information,see Defining Uplinks.
Upload switch configuration file. For more information, see Upload Switch Configuration File
Enable VLT. For more information, see VLT Enabled
Configure the uplinks in one of the following ways:
- Configure the same ports as uplink ports in all the chassis. See Configure the uplink ports differently in all the chassis
- Configure the uplink ports differently in all the chassis. See ConfigureChassis:Configuring Uplink Ports on Each I/O Module Independently
