50 Installing and Setting Up the CMC

NOTE: You cannot set a static IP address for the iDRAC using the LCD

Configuration Wizard. To set a static IP address, use the CMC Web interface

or RACADM.

When you have made your selection, press the center button. The

Summary

screen displays, listing the IP addresses you provided.

On the

IP Summary

screen, review the IP addresses you provided to make

sure the addresses are accurate. To correct a setting, navigate to the left

arrow button and then press the center key to return to the screen for that

setting. After making a correction, press the center button. If necessary,

navigate to the right arrow button and then press the center key to return

to the

IP Summary

screen.

When you have confirmed that the settings you entered are accurate, press

the center button. The Configuration Wizard closes and returns you to the

Main Menu

screen.

The CMC is now available on the network. You can access the CMC on the

assigned IP address using the Web interface or CLIs such as a serial console,

Telnet, and SSH.

NOTE: After you have completed network setup through the LCD Configuration

Wizard, the Wizard is no longer available.

Accessing the CMC Through a Network

After you have configured the CMC network settings, you can remotely

access the CMC using any of the following interfaces:

• Web interface

• Telnet console

• SSH

Telnet is enabled via one of the other interfaces; telnet is not as secure as the

other interfaces so it is disabled by default.
