Procedure 2-2 Configuring Service Processor Network Settings
This procedure (Command menu, LC command) configures the service processor customer LAN
and private LAN network settings from the service processor Command menu.
1. Connect to the service processor for the complex, login as an administrator, and enter CM to
access the Command menu.
If a service processor is at the default configuration (including default network settings),
you can connect to it using either of these methods:
• Establish a direct serial cable connection through the service processor local RS-232
port, a 9-pin D-shaped connector (DB9).
On HP Superdome servers, this port is labeled "Local RS-232". On HP rp8400 servers,
it is the "Local Console" port. On HP rp7405/rp7410 servers, use the DB9 connector that
is labeled "Console".
• Access a PC or workstation on the same subnet as the service processor, modify its
network routing tables to include the default customer LAN IP address, and telnet
to the service processor. The procedure to modify networking and connect is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
2. From the service processor Command menu, enter LS to list the current network settings,
and if needed use the LC command to reconfigure the network settings for the service
processor.
You must be logged in as an administrator to use the LC command.
The LC command enables you to modify the customer LAN and/or the private LAN
configuration.
You can cancel all changes to the service processor LAN configuration at any time by replying
Q to any of the LC command prompts.

Each nPartition in a server complex has a separate console log that stores a record of the most
recent nPartition console activity.
Access a PC or workstation on the same subnet as the service processor.
Modify the network routing tables for the PC or workstation by using the route
add 192.168.1.1 ClientName command, where ClientName is the network
name of the PC or workstation.
From a PC command prompt: route add 192.168.1.1 ClientName
Log in as root on an HP-UX workstation and use this command:
/usr/sbin/route add 192.168.1.1 ClientName
After you reconfigure the service processor network settings, you can remove these
network routing table changes with the route delete... command.
Enter this command to confirm the new network connection to the service processor:
ping 198.168.1.1 -n 2
Use the telnet 192.168.1.1 command from the PC or workstation to connect
to the service processor.
255.255.255.0
192.168.2.10
