Configure the Host Network Management From the CLI

Once the network configuration is done on the SP (Configure Network Management on the SP), it can be accessed via ssh. Host configuration can be done by logging into the SP's serial console or by ssh.

1. ssh to the SP's IP address.

   # ssh root@10.134.178.170
   Password: changeme

   Warning: password is set to factory default.
   Warning: HTTPS certificate is set to factory default.
   Hostname: ES2-72-swi-sp
   ->
   

2. Power on the host and connect to the host's serial console.

   -> start /SYS
   Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
   Starting /SYS
   -> start /HOST/console
   Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
   

   The switch host's Oracle ILOM login prompt appears.

3. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI on the host.

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

   The switch Oracle ILOM login prompt appears.

4. Discover the network configuration for the host.

   ES2-> cd /SP/network/
   /SP/network
   ES2-> show
    /SP/network
       Targets:
           ipv6
           test
       Properties:
           commitpending = (Cannot show property)
           dhcp_clientid = none
           dhcp_server_ip = 10.134.178.5
           ipaddress = 10.134.178.167
           ipdiscovery = dhcp
           ipgateway = 10.134.178.1
           ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           macaddress = 00:19:0F:16:D4:19
           pendingipaddress = 10.134.178.167
           pendingipdiscovery = dhcp
           pendingipgateway = 10.134.178.1
           pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
           state = enabled
           vlan_id = (none)
    
       Commands:
           cd
           set
           show
   

5. Configure the network configuration for the host (optional).

   dhcp is enabled by default, so the host can get the network configuration automatically if there is a dhcp server on the network.

   The names and addresses in the following examples are only for demonstration.

   Note - Management network configuration is not needed if you plan to only use a serial console to access the switch. However, configuring network management will allow multiple administrators to manage the switch remotely.
