Configure Network Management From the CLI

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.

   See Log In to the Oracle ILOM CLI.

2. Change to the /SP/network directory.

   -> cd SP/network

3. (Optional) Set the state of network management.

   -> set state = state

   where state is either enabled or disabled.

   ---

   Note - If you set the state to disabled, connections to the NET MGT port are lost.

   ---

4. (Optional) Set the IP discovery mode.

   -> set pendingipdiscovery = mode

   where mode is either dhcp or static.

   ---

   Note - By default, the switch uses DHCP as the IP discovery mode.

   ---

5. If you set the IP discovery mode to dhcp, go to Step 7.
6. If you set the IP discovery mode to static, configure an externally accessible IP address on the switch.
   1. Set the pending service processor IP address.

      -> set pendingipaddress=IP_address
      Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'IP_address'

   2. Set the pending gateway IP address.

      -> set pendingipgateway=IP_address
      Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'IP_address'

   3. Set the pending netmask.

      -> set pendingipnetmask=netmask
      Set 'pendingipnetmask' to 'n.n.n.n'

7. Verify the configuration information that you entered.

   The show command displays information about the switch, including its IP address.

   For example:

   -> show
    
    /SP/network
       Targets:
    
       Properties:
           type = Network Configuration
           commitpending = (Cannot show property)
           ipaddress = 10.7.59.97 
           ipdiscovery = static
           ipgateway = 10.7.59.254 
           ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           macaddress = 00:14:4f:6C:5D:E8 
           pendingipaddress = 10.7.59.97 
           pendingipdiscovery = static
           pendingipgateway = 10.7.59.254 
           pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           state = enabled
    
       Commands:
           cd
           set
           show
    
   -> 

8. Commit the changes.

   -> set commitpending=true
   Set 'commitpending' to 'true'

   ---

   Note - When you set commitpending to true, connections to the NET MGT port might be lost. You must reestablish connection to the NET MGT port.

   ---

9. When you are done, exit the switch Oracle ILOM.
