Step 5
(Optional) Set a hostname for the server.
Step 6
(Optional) Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.
Step 7
(Optional) If you check the Factory Default check box, the server reverts to the factory defaults.
Step 8
(Optional) Set a default user password.
Step 9
(Optional) Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation sets the port speed
and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server is connected. If you disable
auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Note
Step 10
(Optional) Reset port profiles and the port name.
Step 11
Press F5 to refresh the settings that you made. You might have to wait about 45 seconds until the new settings appear
and the message,
“
Network settings configured
”
is displayed before you reboot the server in the next step.
Step 12
Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.
If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on the console
screen during bootup.
Use a browser and the IP address of the Cisco IMC to connect to the Cisco IMC management interface. The IP
address is based upon the settings that you made (either a static address or the address assigned by your DHCP
server).
The default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.
Note
To manage the server, see the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide or the Cisco UCS C-Series
Rack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide for instructions on using those interfaces. The links to these documents
are in the C-Series documentation roadmap:

NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings
NIC Modes
This server has the following NIC mode settings that you can choose from:
•
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.
If the system determines that the Cisco card connection is getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS
Manager system, the reply has parameters that automatically move the server to UCSM mode.
•
Dedicated
—
The dedicated management port is used to access Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC
redundancy and IP setting.
•
Shared LOM
—
The 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy
and IP setting.
•
Cisco Card
—
The ports on an installed Cisco UCS virtual interface card (VIC) are used to access Cisco
IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.
