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
11. 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.
12. In the command window on the host computer, 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, restart the controllers using the 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

Mini-USB Device Connection
The following sections describe the connection to the mini-USB port:
Emulated serial port
When a computer is connected to a controller module using a mini-USB serial cable, the controller presents an emulated serial port to the
computer. The name of the emulated serial port is displayed using a
customer vendor ID
and
product ID
. Serial port configuration is
unnecessary.
NOTE:
Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation to enable proper functioning of
the USB CLI port. See also
Device driver/special operation mode
Supported host applications
The following terminal emulator applications can be used to communicate with an ME4 Series controller module:
Table 35. Supported terminal emulator applications
Application
Operating system
PuTTY
Microsoft Windows (all versions)
Minicom
Linux (all versions)
Command-line interface
When the computer detects a connection to the emulated serial port, the controller awaits input of characters from the computer using
the command-line interface. To see the CLI prompt, you must press
Enter
.
NOTE:
Directly cabling to the mini-USB port is considered an out-of-band connection. The connection to the mini-USB
port is outside of the normal data paths to the controller enclosure.
