Configuring Network Settings for IOM
You can specify the network settings for the interface used to manage the IOM. For Ethernet switches, the out-of-band
management port (IP address) is configured. The in-band management port (that is, VLAN1) is not configured using this
interface.
Before configuring the network settings for the IOM, make sure the IOM is turned on.
To configure the network setting of IOM in Group A, you must have the Fabric A Administrator privileges.
NOTE: For Ethernet switches, the in-band (VLAN1) and out-of-band management IP addresses cannot be the same,
or cannot be on the same network. This results in the out-of-band IP address in being not set. See the IOM
documentation for the default in-band management IP address.
NOTE: Do not configure I/O module network settings for Ethernet pass-through and Infiniband switches.
Configuring Network Settings for IOM Using CMC Web Interface
To configure the network settings for I/O Module:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, click I/O Module Overview, and then click Setup. Alternatively, to configure
the network settings of the only available I/O module that is A, click A Gigabit Ethernet, and then click Setup.
On the Configure I/O Module Network Settings page, type appropriate data, and then click Apply.
2. If allowed, type the root password, SNMP RO Community string, and Syslog Server IP Address for the IOM. For
more information about the field descriptions, see the Online Help .
NOTE: The IP address set on the IOM from CMC is not saved to the permanent startup configuration of the
switch. To permanently save the IP address configuration, you must run the connect switch command,
or racadm connect switch RACADM command, or use a direct interface to the IOM GUI to save this
address to the startup configuration file.
3. Click Apply.
The network settings are configured for the IOM.
NOTE: If allowed, you can reset the VLANs, network properties, and IO ports to its default configuration
values.
Configuring Network Settings for IOM Using RACADM
To configure the network settings for an IOM by using RACADM, set the date and time. See the deploy command section
in the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide .
You can set the user name, password, and SNMP string for the IOM using the RACADM deploy command:
racadm deploy -m switch -u <username> -p <password>
racadm deploy -m switch -u -p <password> -v SNMPv2 <snmpCommunityString> ro
racadm deploy -a [server|switch] -u <username> -p <password>
