After you complete the LCD Configuration Wizard, y
ou can access the CMC
on the network using the Web-based CMC interface or text-based interfaces
such as a serial console, Telnet, or SSH.
Note that if you intend to use static addresses rather than DHCP to access
the iDRACs, you must configure them using the CMC Web-based interface
or CLI.
Configuring the CMC Network Settings 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
and a local connection to access the CMC. There are two ways to create a
local connection to the CMC:
• The CMC Console via the optional iKVM. Press <Print Screen> and
select blade number 17. Blade number 17 is a direct local connection to
the CMC.
• Serial connection using a 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:
1
Log into the CMC.
The default user name is
root
and the default password is
calvin
.
2
Ty p e
getniccfg
and press <Enter> to view the current CMC network
parameters.
