Configure Network Management From CLI (SER MGT)

1. Log into Oracle ILOM CLI.

   See Log Into Oracle ILOM CLI (SER MGT).

2. Verify that the terminal or terminal emulator has the correct settings.

   See SER MGT Port Configuration Parameters.

3. Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the serial management port on the switch.

   See Front Panel Components for the location of the serial management port on the switch.

4. Press Enter on the terminal device.

   This action establishes the connection between the terminal device and the switch Oracle ILOM.

   The Oracle ILOM login prompt appears.

   SUNSPnnnnnnnnnn login: 

5. Enter the user name and password when prompted.

   The default user is root and the default password is changeme.

   The Oracle ILOM prompt appears.

   ->

6. Change to the network directory.

   -> cd SP/network

   ---

   Note - By default, the switch uses DHCP as the IP discovery mode. To use static as the IP discovery mode, use the following command.

   ---

   -> set ipdiscovery = static

7. Configure an externally accessible IP address on the switch.
   1. Set the pending IP address.

      -> set pendingipaddress=n.n.n.n
      Set ’pendingipaddress’ to ’n.n.n.n’

      For example:

      -> set pendingipaddress=10.7.59.97
      Set ’pendingipaddress’ to ’10.7.59.97’

   2. Set the pending IP gateway.

      -> set pendingipgateway=n.n.n.n
      Set ’pendingipgateway’ to ’n.n.n.n’

      For example:

      -> set pendingipgateway=10.7.59.254
      Set ’pendingipgateway’ to ’10.7.59.254’

   3. Set the pending IP netmask.

      -> set pendingipnetmask=n.n.n.n
      Set ’pendingipnetmask’ to ’n.n.n.n’

      For example:

      -> set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
      Set ’pendingipnetmask’ to ’255.255.255.0’

   4. Commit the changes.

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

   5. Set the state to enabled.

      -> set state=enabled
      Set ’state’ to ’enabled’

8. Verify the configuration information that you entered.

   -> show

   The CLI 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
    
   -> 

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

   -> exit
