Configuring The CMC Using A Management Station And CLI

The LCD configuration wizard is the quickest way to initially configure the CMC network settings. However, you can also use a management station and a local connection to access the CMC.

About this task

There are two ways to create a local connection to the CMC:
  • The CMC Console, using the optional iKVM. Press <Prnt Scrn> and select blade number 17.
  • Serial connection, using an optional null modem cable (115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control).
Once you have established a connection to the CMC, you can complete the initial CMC network configuration.

Steps

  1. Log in to the CMC.
    The default user name is root and the default password is calvin.
  2. Type getniccfg and press <Enter> to view the current CMC network parameters.
  3. Configure the CMC network settings:
    • To set a static IP address, type 
      setniccfg -s <IP address><network mask><gateway>
      and press <Enter>.
    • To configure the CMC to obtain an IP address using DHCP, type 
      setniccfg -d
      and press <Enter>.
    The new network settings are activated in a few seconds after configuring the network.
