CMM Connection and Setup

7.0CMM Connection and Setup

7.1CLI Overview

The Command Line Interface (CLI) connects to and communicates with the intelligent management devices of the chassis, boards, and the CMM itself. The CLI is an IPMI-based library of commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management application. Administrators can access the CLI through Telnet or the CMM's serial port. Using the CLI, users can access information about the current state of the system including current sensor values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall chassis health.

Note: Commands should always be issued to the CLI on the active CMM. The standby CMM can only respond to commands to the CMM location.

7.2Connecting to the CLI

The CMM provides two connections on its front panel (see Figure 3, “Face Plate” on page 20)

•An Ethernet connection via an RJ-45 connector

•An RS-232 serial port interface also via an RJ-45 connector

Either of these interfaces can be used to log into the CMM, as well as the Ethernet interface provided through the backplane of a chassis. Use Telnet to log into the CMM over a Ethernet connection, or use a terminal application or serial console over the RS-232 interface.

If logging in for the first time to set up IP addresses, use the serial port console interface to perform configuration.

7.2.1Connecting through a Console

Connect an RS-232 serial cable with an RJ-45 connector to the serial console port on the front of the CMM. Set your terminal application settings as follows:

•Baud – 115200

•Data Bits – 8

•Parity – None

•Stop Bits – 1

•Flow Control – Xon/Xoff or none

Connect using your terminal application.

7.2.2Telnet into the CMM

To telnet into the CMM, point your console or telnet application to the IP address of the CMM you wish to telnet to. If you wish to telnet to the active CMM through the backplane, you can point the telnet application to the Eth1:1 IP address.
