1 System Configuration Guide

This document describes the system features supported in Supermicro Layer 2/Layer 3 switch products.

This document covers the system configurations for the below listed Supermicro switch products.

Top of Rack Switches

• SSE-G24-TG4

• SSE-G48-TG4

• SSE-X24S

• SSE-X3348S

• SBM-GEM-X2C

• SBM-GEM-X2C+

• SBM-GEM-X3S+

• SBM-XEM-X10SM

Blade Switches

• SSE-X3348T

The majority of this document applies to all the above listed Supermicro switch products. In any particular sub section however, the contents might vary across these switch product models. In those sections the differences are clearly identified with reference to particular switch product models. If any particular switch product model is not referenced, the reader can safely assume that the content is applicable to all the above listed models.

Throughout this document, the common term “switch” refers to any of the above listed

Supermicro switch product models unless a particular switch product model is noted.

1.1 Management IP

Supermicro switches come with a default static management IP address of 192.168.100.102. In TOR switches, the management IP address is assigned to a default VLAN 1 interface. The management IP is accessible through all the switching ports by default.

In blade switches, the management IP address is assigned to the internal management Ethernet ports connected to the CMM. Hence the management IP address is reachable through the CMM Ethernet connection. This management IP address is not reachable through front panel 1Gb or 10Gb ports. To

1.1.2 Management IP Address – DHCP Configuration

Supermicro switches can be configured to obtain the management IP address through the DHCP protocol. In this case, a switch acts as a DHCP client and obtains the IP address for any DHCP server on the LAN.

Follow the steps below to obtain the management interface IP address dynamically from a DHCP server.

Step Command Description

The “no ip address dhcp” command disables the configuring of the management interface IP address through the DHCP server.

The example below shows the commands used to configure the management interface IP address through DHCP.

SMIS# configure terminal SMIS(config)#ip address dhcp SMIS(config)# end

1.1.3 Default IP Gateway

To configure the default gateway IP address in blade switches, follow the steps below.

1.4.3 Speed

Interface speed can be configured for physical interfaces when auto negotiation is disabled.

1Gb RJ45 interfaces can be configured to operate at 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps speed.

10Gb interfaces in SSE-G24-TG4, SSE-G48-TG4, SBM-GEM-X2C, SBM-GEM-X2C+ and SBM-GEM-X3S+ switches can operate only at the fixed 10Gb speed.

10Gb interfaces in SSE-X24S, SBM-XEM-X10S, SSE-X3348S and SSE-X3348T switches can be configurable to operate at 1Gb or 10Gb speed.

40Gb interfaces are fixed to operate only at the 40Gb speed.

Follow the steps below to configure the interface speed.
