Configuring the Awake Security Platform
Awake appliances provide a dedicated network interface for the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI) and the Dell™ Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) interface. Perform the following steps
to configure IPMI:
1. Enter the
set ipmi config
command.
2. Enter the required details when an interactive prompt asks for the following information:
•
IPMI Interface Mode (static or dhcp): Sets the interface to either DHCP or Static mode.
Note: We recommend setting the interface to static mode.
•
IP: The static IP address of the interface.
•
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the network. For example, 255.255.255.0
•
Default Gateway: The default gateway of the network
•
Would you like to change the ipmi admin password: : Enter
y
to configure the IPMI
password, else enter
n
.
Note:
•
The default password is printed on a label on the appliance.
•
The password can be shared if it is configured by the Awake team.
•
The password should not exceed 20 characters and must contain numbers,
uppercase letters, and symbols.
3. Enter the
apply
command to apply the changes.
4. If no further configuration changes are required, enter the
reboot
command to restart the device.
5.3
Verifying the Configuration
Once the reboot is complete, login to the CLI and enter the
show networking
command to verify the
current configuration.
This command displays networking configuration settings for both the management interface and the
IPMI / DRAC interface. Ensure that the network settings are correct.
