1 Product Overview
The PRIMERGY 10/40GbE Connection Blade 18/8+2 is an integrated 10/40Gbit Ethernet switch for
PRIMERGY BX900/BX400 Blade Server System.
This product has the 3 types of mode. The “Switch mode” provides normal Ethernet switching function. “IBP
(Intelligent Blade Panel) mode” provides the easy configuration for Blade server system and EHM (End
Host Mode) provides loop guard at uplink port by prohibiting the forwarding between uplinks.
The PRIMERGY 10/40GbE Connection Blade 18/8+2 provides the following hardware configuration.
- 18 internal 10GBASE-KR ports connected to servers through chassis backplane (18 downlink ports)
- 8 external Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) based ports (8 uplink ports)
- 2 external Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) based ports (2 uplink ports)
- 1 internal console port connected to management blades through chassis backplane
- 1 10/100BASE-T port connected to management blades through chassis backplane

2.5 Changing Switch Mode , IBP Mode and EHM

There are 3 modes for this product Switch mode, IBP mode and EHM. EHM is its default mode. Switch
mode works as normal Layer2 switch. EHM is basically the same as switch mode, but it prohibit the
forwarding between uplinks and STP configuration to prevent uplink Loop by some mistakes. IBP mode is
prepared for easy configuration so that a server administrator can configure it. Refer to other manuals to
know the detail of these mode
To change current mode, execute the following commands.
Change current mode to switch mode

# boot-system△mode△switch
# reset
Change current mode to IBP mode

# boot-system△mode△ibp
# reset
Change current mode to EHM

# boot-system△mode△ehm
# reset
You can check current mode with show system information command.

2.7.4 Backup/Restore configuration

We can backup the configuration to server or restore it by downloading configuration file from server. FTP
or TFTP protocol can be used. FTP server function is activated in this product. Therefore, we can access it by
FTP client and put or get its configuration to backup or restore. We can backup or restore the configuration
by copy command on CLI if using TFTP server.
Backup by FTP server can be done as following. (This example is on Window OS command prompt.)
C:<config>ftp△192.168.1.10 #Connect with FTP to Connection Blade
User (192.168.1.100:(none)): admin #Enter User Name
331 Password required for admin.
Password: #Enter Password
230 User admin logged in.
ftp> bin #Change to binary mode
200 Type set to I
ftp>get△config1△config1-1 #backup config1 to config1-1 file
・
・
ftp>bye #exit FTP access
221 Goodbye
C:<config>
Restore by FTP server can be done as following. (This example is on Window OS command prompt.)
C:<config>ftp△192.168.1.10 #Connect with FTP to Connection
Blade
Password:admin #Enter Password
200 Type set to I
ftp>put△config1-1△config1 #Restore config1-1 to config1
・
・
226 Write complete
2856 bytes sent in 1.10 seconds (2.44 Kbytes/s)
ftp>get△reset #Restart connection blade
・
・
221 Goodbye
C:<config>
Page 12 / 23
Backup by TFTP server can be done as following. (On the assumption that TFTP server is already prepared.)
#copy△config1△tftp://<tftp server IP address>/<file name>
This command example shows storing config1 as the name of <file name> to TFTP sever.
Restore by TFTP server can be done as following. (On the assumption that TFTP server is already prepared.)
#copy△tftp://<tftp server IP address>/<file name>△config1
……
#reset△config1
This command example shows downloading <file name> from TFTP server as config1. Then reset the
switch by assigning next-boot configuration file
Restring the configuration by FTP/TFTP needs the switch reboot.
2.7.5 Clearing Configuration

Clearing the configuration can be done by reset clear command.
#reset△clear
2.8 Updating Firmware

Updating Firmware can be done by FTP as the following procedures.
(This example is on Window OS command prompt.)
C:<config>ftp△192.168.1.10 #Connect with FTP to Connection Blade

Password:admin #Enter Password
200 Type set to I
ftp> put△SBAX3V0XXXBIND_NYXX_NJXX△bindfirm #Update firmware
・
・
226 Write complete
2856 bytes sent in 1.10 seconds (2.44 Kbytes/s)
ftp>get△reset #Restart connection blade
・
・
The new firmware is applied after reset.
In case of TFTP, updating firmware can be done as the following.
#copy△tftp://<tftp server IP address>/<f/w file name>△switch_firm #Update firmware

……
#reset #reboot

3 Exchange procedure
This chapter explains how we can exchange to a spare part.
3.1 Caution when exchanging

1. Please use the antistatic wristband when exchanging and use antistatic mat when you put this product temporary on
somewhere else.
2. Redundancy configuration such as using multiple switches and teaming configuration is needed when exchanging this
product without stopping network. Please check configuration and consult with system administrator when you
exchange this product.
3. LAN port should be disabled from server blade side when exchanging switchblade if possible. LAN port on Server Blade
will link-up automatically when installing it in a chassis. Therefore, the ports become active before configuration
restore is completed when Active-Active teaming or Active-Standby teaming with Failback enable are configured.
4. We recommend to use latest version Firmware for all switch blades in the system though the products can be used with
several firmware version mixed environment as its spec.
3.2 Exchange Procedure example

This section explains the example exchange procedure.
① Change the configuration such as remote notification/alarm service in your system to prevent the system from sending
alert if needed.
② Check the connecting cable and modules location of the switch.
③ Take the defect switchblade information.

show△tech-support command can take the almost logs.
(If it cannot be taken due to power supply defects or something, please go forward without taking logs.)
#show△tech-support
④ Check the firmware version and active firmware mode (Switch/IBP/EHM) of the target one.
⑤ Take the configuration backup file when you do not have it.
(If you cannot take the configuration backup and do not have the file, you have to configure all of them manually.)
Check which config file(config1 or config2) is used by show△system△information before backup. (Refer to Chapter 2.
to know how we can backup)
⑥ Remove the target switchblade

Remove all the cables and modules from the target switchblade. Then, remove that switchblade from the chassis.
There are release latch on switchblade (green one.). Slide it to the right side and open it. Then pull out the switchblade
to remove from the chassis.
⑦ Install the spare part.

Refer to Chapter 2 to know how to install the Connection Blade.
Note: Don’t connect the cables before configuration restore is finished.
⑧ Update Firmware.
Refer to Chapter 2 to know how to update the Firmware
⑨ Configure Firmware active mode and IP address.

Refer to Chapter 2 to know how to configure them.
⑩ Restore the configuration.(Refer to Chapter 2 to know how to do it.)
