Conguring CMC
Chassis Management Controller enables you to congure properties, set up users, and alerts to perform remote management tasks.
Before you begin conguring the CMC, you must rst congure the CMC network settings to allow CMC to be managed remotely. This
initial conguration assigns the TCP/IP networking parameters that enable access to the CMC.
You can congure CMC using Web interface or Setting up Initial Access to CMC RACADM.
NOTE: When you congure CMC for the rst time, you must be logged in as root user to execute RACADM commands on a
remote system. Another user can be created with privileges to congure CMC.
After setting up the CMC and performing the basic congurations, you can do the following:
• Modify the network settings, if required.
• Congure interfaces to access CMC.
• Setup chassis groups, if required.
• Congure servers, I/O module, or front panel.
