Initial CMC Network Configuration

The CMC is preset for DHCP. To use a static IP address, you must toggle the CMC setting from DHCP to a static address by either running the LCD configuration wizard, or by using a management station and CLI commands.

If toggled to use a static address, the CMC IP address defaults to the standard IP address settings of 192.168.0.120, 255.255.255.0, and gateway of 192.168.0.1. You can change this address to an IP address of your choice.

Configuring The CMC Using The LCD Configuration Wizard

When you first boot your system, the screen on the LCD module directs you to configure the CMC network settings.

NOTE: The option to configure the enclosure using the LCD configuration wizard is only available until the CMC default password is changed or when the LCD configuration wizard is complete. Thereafter, use the RACADM CLI or the web-based GUI to change the CMC settings.

NOTE: The serial null modem cable for the CMC is an option. You can access the CLI using the 17th blade feature on the embedded iKVM module. Blade number 17 is a direct local connection to the CMC.

1.Choose a language from the options in the dialog box.

2.Start the LCD configuration wizard.

3.Configure the CMC network settings for your network environment.

•Network speed

•Duplex mode

•Protocol (IPv4 and/or IPv6)

•Network mode (DHCP or static)

•Static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values (if static mode was selected)

•DNS setting, including a registered CMC name, (if DHCP mode was selected)

NOTE: The CMC external management network mode is set by default to DHCP. To use a static IP address, you must change the setting using the LCD configuration wizard.

4.If required, configure the iDRAC network setting for DHCP mode.

NOTE: You cannot set a static IP address for the iDRAC using the LCD configuration wizard. To set the static IP address, use the web-based interface.

5.Review the settings on the Network Summary screen:

•If the settings are correct, press the center button to close the configuration wizard and return to the Main Menu.

•If the settings are not correct, use the left-arrow key to return to the screen for that setting and make the appropriate changes.

The Network Summary screen lists the IP addresses for the CMC and the iDRAC network settings.

After you complete the LCD configuration wizard, you can access the CMC on the network using the web-based CMC interface or text-based interfaces such as a serial console, Telnet, or SSH.
