7.6 Configuring a BMC Static IP Address
for the Network Ports
During the initial boot setup process for the DGX A100 System, you had an opportunity to
configure static IP addresses for a single network interface. If you did not set this up at that
time, you can configure the static IP addresses from the Ubuntu command line using the
following instructions.
Note: If you are connecting to the DGX A100 console remotely, then connect using the BMC
remote console. If you connect using SSH, then your connection will be lost when performing
the final step. Also, the BMC connection will facil- itate troubleshooting should you encounter
issues with the config file.
If you cannot access the DGX A100 System remotely, then connect a display (1440x900 or
lower resolution) and keyboard directly to the DGX A100 System.
