Hi,
I have a customer with a blade center with 2 IGESM blade switches installed. Switch A works fine, however Switch B is giving me a bit of a headache. It's configured identically to Switch A with the exception of IPs/Host name, however when I go into the interface config for the external ports to trunk them to a 3750, I am unable to "no shut" the interface. I get:
Blade_SwitchB(config)#int range g0/17-20
Blade_SwitchB(config-if-range)#no shut
% Shutdown not allowed on this interface
% Shutdown not allowed on this interface
% Shutdown not allowed on this interface
% Shutdown not allowed on this interface
Per port config still gives me the same error, so it's not an issue with the range command. The Blade itself has a single management interface installled, but it doesn't have a second one. The management interface is used for managing the chassis itself, I thought perhaps to have the 2nd blade switch working it required a 2nd Management interface, however IBM has said otherwise. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks in advance.
