Setting Up the Node With the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility
• Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port. Shared LOM and Cisco Card
modes can each use either Active-standby or Active-active settings.
• Active-active (default)—All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously. The Shared LOM EXT mode must use
only this NIC redundancy setting. Shared LOM and Cisco Card modes can each use either Active-standby or
Active-active settings.
Step 3 Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.
To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same network as the system. Your
Note
DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this compute node. The MAC
address is printed on a label that is on the pull-out asset tag. This compute node has a range of six MAC
addresses assigned to the 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.
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).
Step 4 (Optional) Make VLAN settings.
Step 5
Press F1 to go to the second settings window, then continue with the next step.
From the second window, you can press F2 to switch back to the first window.
Step 6 (Optional) Set a hostname for the node.
Step 7
(Optional) Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.
Step 8 (Optional) If you check the Factory Default check box, the node reverts to the factory defaults.
Step 9
(Optional) Set a default user password.
Note The factory default username for the node is admin. The default password is password.
Step 10
(Optional) Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Note Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation sets the port
speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server is connected. If you disable
auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Step 11
(Optional) Reset port profiles and the port name.
Step 12 Press F5 to refresh the settings that you made. You might have to wait about 45 seconds until the new settings appear
and the message, "Network settings configured" is displayed before you reboot the node in the next step.
Step 13 Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the node.
If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on the console
Note
screen during bootup.
