The CMC is preset for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). To use a static IP address, you must toggle the CMC setting from DHCP to a static address by either running the LCD configuration wizard, or by using a management station and CLI commands. For more information, see the CMC documentation at
support.dell.com/manuals.
To set up a network using the LCD configuration wizard:
Steps
If you have not already done so, press the chassis power button to turn it on.
The LCD screen displays a series of initialization screens as it turns on. When it is ready, the
Language Setup screen is displayed.
Select a language from the options in the dialog box.
The following message is displayed on the enclosure screen:Configure Enclosure?
Press the center button to continue to the CMC Network Settings screen.
Configure the CMC network settings for your network environment:
Network speed
Duplex mode
Network mode (DHCP or static)
Static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values (if static mode was selected)
DNS settings
If required, configure the iDRAC network settings. For more information about iDRAC, see the iDRAC User’s Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE: The configuration wizard automatically configures each blade’s iDRAC internal network interface if you do not choose to manually configure the iDRAC settings.
NOTE: You cannot set a static IP address for the iDRAC using the LCD configuration wizard. To set a static IP address, use the CMC web-based interface or Remote Access Controller Administrator (RACADM).
Review the settings on the
Network Summary screen:
If the settings are correct, press the center button to close the configuration wizard and return to the
Main Menu.
If the settings are not correct, use the left arrow key to return to the screen for that setting and correct it.
Results
After you complete the configuration wizard, the CMC is available on your network.
