Log in as the root user.

hostname login: root

[root@hostname ~]#

The default password is changeme.

Set the SCP IP address.
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool ipaddress SCP_IP_address|dhcp|ilom
```
where SCP_IP_address is the IP address to be assigned to the SCP. Alternatively, you can configure IP address assignment by DHCP or Oracle ILOM. If you provide a static IP address, you will also need to provide the netmask and the IP address of the management network gateway. For example:
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool ipaddress 123.45.67.90
Enter netmask: 255.255.255.0
Enter default gateway: 123.45.67.1
Restart network now? (Y/n)
```

Restart the network to use the new values.

[root@hostname ~]#

(Optional) Set the hostname.
Provide the new host name. For example:
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool hostname hostname
```
where hostname is the host name of the SCP. For example:
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool hostname hostwiththemost
[root@hostname ~]#
```

Apply the changes.

[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool apply
