Setup CIMC Configuration Utility
because the server is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco card are disabled. Use the
Cisco Card NIC mode if you want to connect to Cisco IMC through a Cisco card in standalone mode.
• Shared LOM—The 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and
IP setting.
• Dedicated—The dedicated management port is used to access Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy
and IP setting.
• Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco UCS virtual interface card (VIC) are used to access the Cisco
IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.
See also the required VIC Slot setting below.
• VIC Slot—If you use the Cisco Card NIC mode, you must select this setting to match where your VIC is
installed. The choices are Riser1, Riser2, or Flex-LOM (the mLOM slot).
◦ If you select Riser1, slot 1 is used.
◦ If you select Riser2, slot 2 is used.
◦ If you select Flex-LOM, you must use an mLOM-style VIC in the mLOM slot.
b) Use this utility to change the NIC redundancy to your preference. This server has three possible NIC redundancy
settings:
• None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem. This setting can be
used only with the Dedicated NIC mode.
• Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port.
• Active-active—All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously. The Shared LOM EXT mode can have only this
NIC redundancy setting. Shared LOM and Cisco Card modes can have both Active-standby and Active-active
settings.
Step 2 Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.
Before you enable DHCP, you must preconfigure your DHCP server with the range of MAC addresses for this
Note
server. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server. This server has a range of six MAC
addresses assigned to Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six
contiguous MAC addresses.
The static IPv4 and IPv6 settings include the following:
• The Cisco IMC IP address.
• The prefix/subnet.
For IPv6, valid values are 1–127.
• The gateway.
For IPv6, if you do not know the gateway, you can set it as none by entering :: (two colons).
• The preferred DNS server address.
For IPv6, you can set this as none by entering :: (two colons).
