Establishing An Interface Through The Cmm - Lenovo ThinkSystem NE2552E Installation Manual

Establishing an Interface Through the CMM

1. Log on to the CMM Command‐Line Interface (CLI) as described in the CMM
documentation. If necessary, obtain the IP address of the CMM from your system
administrator.
2. Set the environment to the bay where you installed the switch:
3. Execute the ifconfig command to configure the IP parameters you wish to use
for remote switch management. For example,
4. You should now be able to ping the switch from the CMM using this address:

For remote management functions, the switch requires a TCP/IP interface. This can
be configured through the CMM as follows:
Note: The default User ID for the CMM is USERID, and the default password
is PASSW0RD (where the sixth character is the number zero, not the letter
O). The User ID and password fields are case‐sensitive.
system> env -T system:switch[1]
ifconfig -i 192.168.70.1 -s 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.70.100
where the -i parameter is the IPv4 address, -s is the subnet mask, and -g is the
default gateway.
system:switch[1]> ping -i 192.168.70.1

One the switch management address is configured, you can use it to establish a
Secure Shell (SSH)/Telnet session .
Note: SSH enabled by default. Telnet can be enabled once you have initially
logged into the switch.
The SSHv2/Telnet client software provide different ways to access the same
internal‐switching firmware and configure it.
If your system application requires that you use the SSHv2/Telnet client software,
see "Accessing the Switch Through the SSHv2/Telnet Interface" on page
additional information.
