NOTE Adding an entry to the ARP table is typically done using the ARP command with the

appropriate option. For example, arp -s is used with Windows. Consult your

operating system documentation for more information.

Step 4. Use the ping command from the host that has the new ARP table entry. The destination address is

the IP address that is mapped to the MAC address of the management processor. The management

processor LAN port should now be configured with the appropriate IP address.

Step 5. Use the telnet command to connect to the management processor from a host on the local subnet.

Interacting with the Management Processor

To interact with the management processor, perform the following steps:

NOTE On initial system installation no user account is set. To access the management processor use

the

return key at both the login and password prompts. It is recommended that the SO command

be used (enter SO at the MP> prompt) during the initial management processor login session to

configure management processor security and access control.

Step 1. Log in using your management processor user account name and password.

NOTE If the management processor is in console mode, use CTRL+B to access the

management processor prompt.

Step 2. Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. A list of available commands can

be displayed by using the management processor help function (enter HE followed by LI at the MP>

prompt). Log out using the EX command (enter EX at the MP> prompt) when done.

Configuring Management Processor LAN Information

LAN information includes the management processor network name, the management processor IP address,

the management processor subnet mask, the management processor gateway address, and the web console

port number.

To set the management processor LAN IP address:

Step 1. At the management processor menu prompt (MP>), enter LC (for LAN configuration) and press the

Return/Enter key.

The screen displays the default values and asks if you want to modify them. It is good practice to

write down the information, as it may be required for future troubleshooting.

This command allows you to modify the LAN configuration.
