Network Access to the Management Processor
By connecting the management processor LAN port to an active network, another host on the same subnet can set the
management processor IP address via the
ping
command. After the IP address has been set, a telnet session can be established
to configure additional parameters.
To configure the management processor LAN IP address, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the medium access control (MAC) address of the management processor LAN interface by viewing the
label located at the rear of the server
Step 2. Connect a LAN cable on your local subnet to the core I/O LAN port found directly above the two USB ports.
Step 3. Add an address resolution protocol (ARP) table entry to another host located on your local subnet. This ARP table
entry will map the MAC address of the core I/O LAN interface to the IP address chosen for that interface.
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, the MP has two default user accounts. They are:
1. Administrator level user; login=Admin, password=Admin (both are case sensitive).
2. Operator level user; login=Oper, pasword=Oper (both are case sensitive).
For security reasons, it is recommended that the
UC
command be used during the initial logon session (enter
CM
at the
MP>
prompt, and enter
UC
at the MP:CM> prompt) to modify default passwords or to delete and
create user accounts.
Step 1. Log in using your management processor user account name and password.
NOTE The management processor will start with the MP Main Menu displayed. To follow these steps,
make sure you are at the Main Menu. If you are not at the Main Menu, use
CTRL+B
to return to
the Main Menu.
Step 2. Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. Main menu commands are shown in Figure 4-22,
“The MP Main Menu.” Commands not displayed in the MP Main Menu can be accessed in command mode by
first using the
CM
command at the
MP
prompt. A list of available commands is presented and can be displayed by
using the management processor help function (enter
HE
followed by
LI
at the
MP>
prompt). You can return to the
MP Main Menu by typing CTRL+B .
