The PRIMERGY Ethernet switch/IBP 36/12 is an integrated one Gb connection blade for use in the PRIMERGY BX900 chassis. It can be installed in each of the 8 Fabric slots and offers 36 x 1Gb down-link port to the midplane for the connection to the server blades.
The intelligent blade panel function combines the switch advantage of cable and port consolidation with the pass-thru advantages of working fully (VLAN) transparent and lacking of any protocol compatibility issues. Server blade LAN ports may be grouped together with one or more external ports into independent named port groups. Using the so-called management VLAN grouping feature, a separate VLAN-based management access to each server blade may be assigned.
