Configuring CMC Network Properties
Setting Up Initial Access to the CMC
Before you can begin configuring the CMC, you must first configure the
CMC network settings to allow the CMC to be managed remotely. This
initial configuration assigns the TCP/IP networking parameters that enable
access to the CMC.
This section explains how to perform the initial CMC network configuration
using RACADM commands. All of the configuration described in this section
can be performed using the front panel LCD. See "Configuring Networking
Using the LCD Configuration Wizard" on page 45.
NOTICE: Changing your CMC Network settings may disconnect your current
network connection.
For more information about network subcommands, see "RACADM
Subcommands" on page 317 and "CMC Property Database Group and Object
Definitions" on page 385.
NOTE: You must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege to set up CMC
network settings.
By default, the CMC requests and obtains a CMC IP address from the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically.
You can disable this feature and specify static CMC IP address, gateway, and
subnet mask.
To disable DHCP and specify static CMC IP address, gateway, and subnet
mask, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicUseDHCP 0
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress
<
static IP address >
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicGateway
<
static gateway >
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicNetmask
<
static subnet mask >
