Configuring The Management Processor Lan Information - HP 9000 rp3440 Installation Manual

Configuring the Management Processor LAN Information

LAN information includes the management processor network name, IP address information, and configuring
DHCP and DNS service information.
To configure the management processor LAN IP address:
Step 1. At the MP Main Menu prompt (MP>), enter CM to choose command mode.
Step 2. At the command mode prompt (MP:CM>), enter LC (for LAN configuration).
The screen displays the default values and asks if you want to modify them. It is good practice to
write down the information, because you might need it for future troubleshooting. See "The LC
Command Screen" on page 86.
NOTE
Step 3. The screen displays the current LC data. When prompted to enter a parameter name, A to modify
All, or Q to Quit, enter A to choose all parameters.
Step 4. The screen displays the current DHCP status. If DHCP is used to acquire IP address information,
enter E to enable, D to disable, or Q unless you are using the local serial port.
To disable DHCP from the local serial port:
a. Use the LC command to disable DHCP.
b. Commit the DHCP change.
c. Use the LC command again to set network parameters.
CAUTION
NOTE
NOTE
Step 5. The screen displays the current IP address. When prompted to enter a new value or Q, enter the
new IP address.
Step 6. The screen displays the current host name. When prompted to enter a new value or Q, enter the
new MP network name.
This is the host name for the MP LAN displayed at the command prompt. It is also used to identify
the MP LAN interface in a DNS database. The name can be up to 64 characters in length, and must
start with a letter, end with a letter or number, and contain only letters, numbers, or dashes.
Chapter 4
The default value in the "IP address" field is set at the factory. You must configure
the actual MP LAN IP address.
Modifying the DHCP, IP address, gateway IP address, or subnet mask parameters
will drop all present LAN and Web connections.
Changing DHCP status to Enabled or Disabled resets IP address, gateway IP
address, and subnet mask parameters to factory default values.
If the IP address, gateway IP address, and subnet mask are obtained through DHCP,
you cannot change them without first disabling DHCP.
