Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 83

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

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicGateway

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicNetmask

Viewing Current Network Settings

To view a summary of NIC, DHCP, network speed, and duplex settings, type:

racadm getniccfg

racadm getconfig -g cfgCurrentLanNetworking

To view IP address and DHCP, MAC address, and DNS information for the

chassis, type:

racadm getsysinfo

Configuring the Network LAN Settings

NOTE: To perform the following steps, you must have Chassis Configuration

Administrator privilege.

NOTE: The LAN settings, such as community string and SMTP server IP address,

affect both the CMC and the external settings of the chassis.

NOTE: If you have two CMCs (active and standby) on the chassis, and they are

connected to the network, the standby CMC automatically assumes the network

settings of the active CMC in the event of failover.

NOTE: When IPv6 is enabled at boot time, three router solicitations are sent every

four seconds. If external network switches are running the Spanning Tree Protocol

(SPT), the external switch ports may be blocked for more than twelve seconds in

which the IPv6 router solicitations are sent. In such cases, there may be a period

when IPv6 connectivity is limited, until router advertisements are gratuitously sent

by the IPv6 routers.
