Configuring remote access
After you connect the active management module to the network, the
Ethernet-port connection is configured in one of the following ways:
v If you have an accessible, active, and configured DHCP server on the
network, the host name, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, and
Dynamic Name Server (DNS) server IP address are set automatically.
v If the DHCP server does not respond within 3 minutes after the port is
connected to the network, the management module uses the factory-defined
static IP address and default subnet address. The management module is
inaccessible during this time.
To configure remote access, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the client computer is on the same subnet as the
management module; then, use a Web browser to connect it to the
management module.
2. In the browser Address field, specify the IP address that the management
module is using:
v If the IP address was assigned through a DHCP server, get the IP address
from your network administrator.
v The factory-defined static IP address is 192.168.70.125, the default subnet
address is 255.255.255.0, and the default host name is MMxxxxxxxxxxxx,
where xxxxxxxxx is the burned-in media access control (MAC) address.
The MAC address is on a label on the management module, below the
reset button.
Note: If the IP configuration is assigned by the DHCP server, the network
administrator can use the MAC address of the management-module
network interface to determine which IP address and host name are
assigned.
See your management-module User's Guide for instructions for configuring the
management module.
Communicating with the IBM Director software
®
The IBM
Director program communicates with the BladeCenter unit through
the Ethernet port on the active management module.
To communicate with the BladeCenter unit, the IBM Director software needs a
managed object (in the Group Contents pane of the IBM Director Management
Console main window) that represents the BladeCenter unit. If the
management-module IP address is known, the network administrator can
create an IBM Director managed object for the unit. If the IP address is not
