Installing and Setting Up the CMC 41
You can perform the initial network configuration of the CMC before or after
the CMC has an IP address. If you configure the CMC’s initial network settings
before you have an IP address, you can use either of the following interfaces:
• The LCD panel on the front of the chassis
• Dell CMC serial console
If you configure initial network settings after the CMC has an IP address,
you can use any of the following interfaces:
• Command line interfaces (CLIs) such as a serial console, Telnet, SSH,
or the Dell CMC Console through iKVM
• Remote RACADM
•The CMC Web interface
Configuring Networking Using the LCD Configuration Wizard
NOTE: The option to configure the CMC using the LCD Configuration Wizard is
available only until the CMC is deployed or the default password is changed.
If the password is not changed, the LCD can continue to be used to reconfigure
the CMC causing a possible security risk.
