Accessing The Management Processor - HP 9000 rp3440 Installation Manual

Step 5. Click OK to close the Connection Setup window.
Step 6. Pull down the Setup menu and choose Terminal (under the Emulation tab).
Step 7. Choose a supported terminal type.
The preferred type is VT100.
Step 8. Click Apply.
This option is not highlighted if the terminal type you want is already selected.
Step 9. Click OK.
Configure an IP Address To configure the MP LAN static IP address, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the MP LAN interface by viewing the label
located at the rear of the server.
Step 2. Connect a LAN cable on your local subnet to the core I/O LAN port.
Step 3. Add an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entry to another host located on your local subnet.
This ARP table entry maps the MAC address of the core I/O LAN interface to the IP address chosen
for that interface.
NOTE
Step 4. Use the ping command from the host that has the new ARP table entry. The destination address is
the IP address that is mapped to the MAC address of the MP. The MP LAN port should now be
configured with the appropriate IP address.
Step 5. Use the telnet command to connect to the MP from a host on the local subnet.

Accessing the Management Processor

You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:
• The local serial port using a local terminal
• The remote Customer Service Modem (CSM) port using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote
modem access is configured
• The MP LAN port using the Web interface, telnet, or SSH, if login access through the MP LAN is enabled
Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor
You establish communication with the MP by connecting a terminal to the local CSM I/O serial port.
You can establish a terminal session using a standalone terminal or using terminal emulation software, such
as HyperTerm, Putty, or Reflection 1 running on a PC.
During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as:
• Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
• Configuring the LAN port
Chapter 4
Adding an entry to the ARP table is typically done using the ARP command with the
appropriate option. For example, arp -s is used with Windows. Consult your
operating system documentation for more information.
