Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 73

This section explains how to perform the initial CMC network configuration

using RACADM commands. All of the configuration described in this section

can be performed using the front panel LCD. See "Configuring Networking

Using the LCD Configuration Wizard" on page 42.

NOTICE: Changing your CMC Network settings may disconnect your current

network connection.

For more information about network subcommands, see "RACADM

Subcommands" on page 285 and "CMC Property Database Group and Object

Definitions" on page 347.

NOTE: You must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege to set up CMC

network settings.

By default, the CMC requests and obtains a CMC IP address from the

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically.

You can disable this feature and specify static CMC IP address, gateway, and

subnet mask.

To disable DHCP and specify static CMC IP address, gateway, and subnet

mask, type:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicUseDHCP 0

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress

static IP address

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicGateway

static gateway

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicNetmask

static subnet mask
