This section shows how the Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3012 can be used in configurations.Basic two-port configurationFigure 2 shows basic use of the Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3012 to route the two-port Ethernetcontroller that is integrated onto the blade server. Two Ethernet Switch Modules are installed in bay 1 andbay 2 of the BladeCenter chassis. The connections between the controller and the switch modules areinternal to the chassis. No cabling is needed.Figure 2.
