Step 2
Plug your management Ethernet cable into the dedicated management port on the rear panel (see
Cisco SNS 3515 or
SNS 3595 Appliance Back Panel View, on page 6
).
Step 3
Allow your preconfigured DHCP server to assign an IP address to the server node.
Step 4
Use the assigned IP address to access and log in to the Cisco IMC for the server node. Consult with your DHCP server
administrator to determine the IP address.
The default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.
Note
Step 5
From the Cisco IMC Server Summary page, click Launch KVM Console. A separate KVM console window opens.
Step 6
From the Cisco IMC Summary page, click Power Cycle Server. The system reboots.
Step 7
Select the KVM console window.
The KVM console window must be the active window for the following keyboard actions to
work.
Note
Step 8
When prompted, press F8 to enter the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility. This utility opens in the KVM console window.
This utility has two windows that you can switch between by pressing F1 or F2.

Cisco Integrated Management Controller
You can monitor the server inventory, health, and system event logs by using the built-in Cisco Integrated
Management Controller 1.4.7a (CIMC) GUI or CLI interfaces. See the user documentation for your firmware
release at the following URL:

Setup CIMC Configuration Utility
The following procedure is performed after you connect to the system and open the Cisco IMC Configuration
Utility.
Step 1
Set NIC mode and NIC redundancy:
a) Set the NIC mode to choose which ports to use to access Cisco IMC for server management:
•
Shared LOM EXT (default)
—
This is the shared LOM extended mode, the factory-default setting. With this
mode, the Shared LOM and Cisco Card interfaces are both enabled.
In this mode, DHCP replies are returned to both the shared LOM ports and the Cisco card ports. If the system
determines that the Cisco card connection is not getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS Manager system
because the server is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco card are disabled. Use the
Cisco Card NIC mode if you want to connect to Cisco IMC through a Cisco card in standalone mode.
•
Shared LOM
—
The 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and
IP setting.
•
Dedicated
—
The dedicated management port is used to access Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy
and IP setting.
