Viewing and Modifying CMC Network LAN Settings Using CMC Web Interface

To view and modify the CMC LAN network settings using CMC Web interface:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, and then click Network. The Network Configuration page displays the current
network settings.
2. Modify the general, IPv4, or IPv6 settings as required. For more information, see the Online Help.
3. Click Apply Changes for each section to apply the settings.

Viewing and Modifying CMC Network LAN Settings Using RACADM

To view IPv4 settings, use the objects from the cfgCurrentLanNetworking group with the following getniccfg and getconfig
subcommands.
To view IPv6 settings, use the objects from the cfgIpv6LanNetworking group with the getconfig subcommand.
To view IPv4 and IPv6 addressing information for the chassis, use the getsysinfo subcommand.
For more information about the subcommands and objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM
Command Line Reference Guide.

Enabling the CMC Network Interface

To enable or disable the CMC network interface for both IPv4 and IPv6, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicEnable 0
NOTE: The CMC NIC is enabled by default.
To enable or disable the CMC IPv4 addressing, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIPv4Enable
1
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIPv4Enable
0
NOTE: The CMC IPv4 addressing is enabled by default.
To enable or disable the CMC IPv6 addressing, type:
racadm config -g cfgIpv6LanNetworking -o cfgIPv6Enable
1
racadm config -g cfgIpv6LanNetworking -o cfgIPv6Enable
0
NOTE: Note the following:
• There is a 30 seconds delay between changing a network setting and actually applying it.
• The CMC IPv6 addressing is disabled by default.
By default, for IPv4, the CMC requests and automatically obtains a CMC IP address from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. You can disable the DHCP feature and specify static CMC IP address, gateway, and subnet mask.
For an IPv4 network, to disable DHCP and specify static CMC IP address, gateway, and subnet mask, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicUseDHCP 0
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress <static IP address>
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicGateway <static gateway>
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicNetmask <static subnet mask>
By default, for IPv6, the CMC requests and automatically obtains a CMC IP address from the IPv6 autoconfiguration mechanism.
For an IPv6 network, to disable the Autoconfiguration feature and specify a static CMC IPv6 address, gateway, and prefix length,
type:
racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o
cfgIPv6AutoConfig 0
racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o
