82 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface

Setting Up Initial Access to CMC

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 44.

CAUTION: Changing settings on the CMC Network Settings screen may

disconnect your current network connection.

For more information about network subcommands, see the

RACADM Subcommands and Property Database Group and

Object Definitions chapters of the RACADM Command Line Reference

Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC.

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

network settings.

The CMC supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing modes. The configuration

settings for IPv4 and IPv6 are independent of one another.

racadm getconfig -g cfgCurrentLanNetworking

Viewing Current IPv6 Network Settings

To view a summary of the network settings, type:

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.
