Management IP Address

Eachserver in a Cisco UCS domain must have a management IP address assigned to its Cisco Integrated
ManagementController (CIMC) or to the service profile associated with the server. Cisco UCS Manager uses
thisIP addressfor externalaccess that terminatesin the CIMC. Thisexternal access can be through one of
thefollowing:
• KVM console
• Serial over LAN
• An IPMI tool
Themanagement IP address used to access the CIMC on a server can be one of the following:
• A static IPv4 address assigned directly to the server.
• A static IPv4 address assigned to a service profile. Youcannot configure a service profile template with
astatic IP address.
• An IP address drawn from the management IP address pool and assigned to a service profile or service
profiletemplate.
Youcan assign a management IP address to each CIMC on the server and to the service profile associated
withthe server. If you do so, you must use different IP addresses for each of them.
