Initial System Configuration

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 correct it.

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.
Note that if you intend to use static addresses rather than DHCP to access

the iDRACs, you must configure them using the CMC Web-based interface

or CLI.

Configuring the CMC Network Settings Using a Management Station and CLI

The LCD Configuration Wizard is the quickest way to initially configure the

CMC network settings. However, you can also use a management station and

and a local connection to access the CMC. There are two ways to create a

local connection to the CMC:

• The CMC Console using the optional iKVM. Press <Print Screen> and

select blade number 17.

• Serial connection using an optional null modem cable (115200 bps, 8 data

bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control).

Once you have established a connection to the CMC, you can complete the

initial CMC network configuration:

1 Log in to the CMC.

The default user name is root and the default password is calvin.

2 Type getniccfg and press <Enter> to view the current CMC network

parameters.
