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:
1. Determine the MAC address of the management processor LAN interface by viewing the label located at
the rear of the server.
NOTE If this label is missing, another label can be found at the front of the MP/SCSI card. You
might need to remove the MP/SCSI board to view this label.
For instruction on removing/replacing the MP/SCSI board, review chapter 6 of the
Operations and Maintenance Guide. The section is titled Removing and Replacing PCI
Cards.
2. Connect a LAN cable on your local subnet to the LAN port found on the MP/SCSI board.
3. Add an ARP table entry to another host located on your local subnet. This ARP table entry will map the
MAC address of the MP/SCSI 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
