Question
=======
HP 7000c is new to me.what i want is to map one port to external network.
Answer

First of all, Welcome.
Second, in the rear of your c7000 there are 8 "Interconnect" Bays. What type of modules do you have installed there, and what bays are the modules in??
Third, what type and generation blades are you using, and do you have Mezzanine cards installed. If you do, what type of Mezz cards, and which Mezz slots are you using??
You should understand, there is no way of connecting a blade directly to an external network without passing through an interconnect module of some type.
4x HP 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem
2xHP 4Gb Fibre Channel Pass-thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem
3x ProLiant BL460c G1 blade server.

Looks good so far.
1. bl460c G1 blade has two onboard NICs. These NICs are HARD-mapped to IC modules in Bays 1 & 2, i.e. NIC port 1 maps to IC Module 1, and NIC Port 2 maps to IC Module 2.
2.The pass-thru modules have 16 HARD downlinks, one to each Server Bay. And 16 outward facing Uplinks. The correspondence is 1-to-1. i.e.
Uplink 1, on passthru module 1, connects to downlink 1, and then to server bay 1, NIC Port 1.
Uplink 2, on passthru module 1, connects to downlink 2, and then to serverbay 2, NIC Port 1.
So any uplink connected to passthru #1 will always talk to Onboard NIC Port 1
Similarly, any uplink connected to passthru #2 will always talk to Onboard NIC Port 2
From your attachment it is not possible to say whether IC 3 & 4 are your additional Ethernet passthru's or your FC passthru's, so I will assume that 3 & 4 are ethernet.
If this is true, then the card on Mezzanine slot 1 must be additional ethernet ports.
The ports on the Mezz1 card are HARD wired to IC Bays 3 & 4, and the rules are similar to above, i.e.
Any uplink connected to passthru #3 will always talk to Mezz1 NIC Port 1
Similarly, any uplink connected to passthru #4 will always talk to Mezz1 NIC Port 2
Again, if the above is true, them the card on the Mezzanine slot 2 must be FC, and the modules in IC Bays 5 & 6 must also be FC. The rules for FC are pretty much the same,
Any uplink connected to FC passthru #5 will always talk to Mezz2 HBA Port 1
Similarly, any uplink connected to FC passthru #6 will always talk to Mezz2 HBA Port 2.
so to summarize, For a server in Bay N,
Onboard NIC Pt 1 -> IC Bay #1, Port N
Onboard NIC Pt 2 -> IC Bay #2, Port N
Mezz 1 NIC Pt 1 -> IC Bay #3, Port N
Mezz 1 NIC Pt 2 -> IC Bay #4, Port N
Mezz 2 HBA Pt 1 -> IC Bay #5, Port N
Mezz 2 HBA Pt 2 -> IC Bay #6, Port N
Note: this makes NIC teaming easy to follow, ie. a team can be set up between the two ports on the Onboard NICs. Try to think of the physical set up as Left/Right redundency.
With the above setup, connecting to the external network/SAN is straight forward. Just connect to the port on the IC module which has the same number as the server you want to talk to. Choose the IC module to give you the correct NIC port.
