Conguring CMC
CMC enables you to congure CMC properties, set up users, and set up alerts to perform remote management tasks.
Before you begin conguring the CMC, you must rst congure the CMC network settings to allow the CMC to be managed
remotely. This initial conguration assigns the TCP/IP networking parameters that enable access to the CMC. For more information,
see Setting Up Initial Access to CMC.
You can congure CMC using Web interface or 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guration, you can do the following:
• Modify the network settings if required.
• Congure interfaces to access CMC.
• Congure LED display.
• Setup Chassis Groups if required.
• Congure Servers, IOMs, or iKVM.
• Congure VLAN Settings.
• Obtain the required certicates.
• Add and congure CMC users with privileges.
• Congure and enable email alerts and SNMP traps.
• Set the power cap policy if required.

The LAN settings, such as community string and SMTP server IP address, aect both the CMC and the external settings of the
chassis.
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.
