I have attached an IBM Server Connectivity Module in Bay2 of our BladeCenter E and tried to setup some networking between an external unmanaged switch and the internal blade servers.

I plugged a cable between port 1 of IBM SCM and another port in the unmanaged switch. This switch have a 10.0.0.0/24 network. But nothing happened. I've fixed the IP address 10.0.0.2 in the second interface of a blade server and I was unable to ping anything. The LED's on the IBM SCM stays off.

I don't know what's wrong and why it isn't working. If I disable the IBM SCM, at least we get link down in the OS, but there's no IP communication at all.

There is an option on the web interface (aka MM, AMM) named something like 'allow external communication' if I remember correctly. Otherwise the switch only allows the blades to communicate between themselves.
