Initial Compute Node Setup - Cisco UCS C4200 Installation And Service Manual

Initial Compute Node Setup

Initial Compute Node Setup
Note This section describes how to power on the system, assign an IP address to each compute node BMC, and
connect to Cisco IMC management when using the system in standalone mode. To use the system in Cisco
UCS Manager integration (UCSM mode), specific cabling and settings are required. See
UCS Manager Integration, on page
Note All nodes in a C4200 chassis must be either all managed in standalone mode or all managed in UCSM mode.
Mixing in a chassis is not supported.
Note Each compute node in your chassis is managed independently and so the following initial setup procedures
must be repeated for each node.
Node Default Settings
The node is shipped with these default settings:
• The NIC mode is Shared LOM EXT.
• The NIC redundancy is Active-Active. All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously.
• DHCP is enabled.
• IPv4 is enabled.
Connection Methods
There are two methods for connecting to the system for initial setup:
• Local setup—Use this procedure if you want to connect a keyboard and monitor directly to the compute
• Remote setup—Use this procedure if you want to perform setup through your dedicated management

Shared LOM Extended mode enables the Ethernet ports on an installed OCP adapter card and the ports
on an installed Cisco virtual interface card (VIC) to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface
(Cisco IMC). If you want to use the 10/100/1000 dedicated management ports to access Cisco IMC, you
can connect to the compute node and change the NIC mode.
