Abstract
A method for setting an address for a service blade includes: receiving a first IP address setting command in an Ethernet protocol format; converting the first IP address setting command into a second IP address setting command in a platform management interface protocol format, where the first and second IP address setting commands include a slot ID of a slot into which a service blade is inserted and IP address data corresponding to the slot ID; and sending the second IP address setting command to the service blade corresponding to the slot ID over a platform management interface network. An IP address setting command is sent to the service blade, which implements a function of setting an IP address for the service blade, thereby avoiding a problem of an additionally increased cost because of an external device in use.
