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 Dell Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge VRTX User’s
Guide at Dell.com/esmmanuals.
To set up
a network using the LCD configuration wizard:
Steps
If the enclosure is off, press the enclosure
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 Dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: The configuration wizard
automatically configures each server module’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.
