Obtaining IP values
83
7.
Press
Enter
to display the CLI prompt (#).
The CLI displays the system version, Management Controller version, and login prompt.
NOTE: Follow the new user setup process to create the first user on the system. See
for details.
8.
To use DHCP to set network port IP values, enter the following command at the prompt:
# set network-parameters dhcp
–or–
9.
To use custom static IP addresses, enter the following CLI command at the prompt to set the values you
obtained in
for each network port, first for controller A, and then for controller B:
set network-parameters ip
address netmask netmask gateway gateway controller a|b
where:
address
is the IP address of the controller
netmask
is the subnet mask
gateway
is the IP address of the subnet router
a|b
specifies the controller whose network parameters you are setting
For example:
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 controller a
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 controller b
10.
Enter the following CLI command to verify the new IP addresses:
show network-parameters
Network parameters, including the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed for each
controller.
11.
Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the gateway address.
For example:
# ping 192.168.0.1
A success message will say that the remote computer responded with four packets.
12.
In the host computer's command window, type the following command to verify connectivity, first for
controller A and then for controller B:
ping
controller-IP-address
If you cannot access your system for at least three minutes after changing the IP address, you might need to
restart the Management Controller(s) using the serial CLI.
When you restart a Management Controller, communication with it is temporarily lost until it successfully
restarts.
Enter the following CLI command to restart the Management Controller in both controllers:
restart mc both
IMPORTANT:
When configuring an iSCSI system or a system using a combination of FC and iSCSI
SFPs, do
not
restart the Management Controller or exit the terminal emulator session until configuring the
“Change the CNC port mode” (page 86)
13.
When you are done using the CLI, exit the emulator.
14.
Retain the IP addresses (recorded in
) for accessing and managing the controllers using the SMC or the
CLI.
