3.Verify that your terminal, laptop, PC, or terminal server is operational.
4.Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on a laptop or PC to the following settings:
■8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
■9600 baud
■Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
■Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
5.Connect a null serial modem cable from the server’s back panel RJ45 serial port to a terminal device (if not connected already).
See FIGURE 1-5 for the serial port position.
6.Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the Embedded LOM service processor (SP). The following prompt appears.
- >
7.Type the default user name root, and then type the default password: changeme to log in to the Embedded LOM SP.
The Embedded LOM displays a default command prompt, indicating that you have successfully logged in:
8.Type the following command to determine the SP IP address: show /SP/network
9.After the status has been determined, view the output of show /SP/network.
DHCP enabled is shown as IPSource = dhcp
10.To assign a static IP ADDRESS, type the following commands in exact order: set /SP/network IPSource=static
set /SP/network IPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx set /SP/network Netmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx set /SP/network Gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Where xxx = IP address numbers
Example 2
To change the service processor (SP) static IP address to a DHCP IP address using the serial connection (system management port), perform the following steps:
