Configuring Management Interfaces (BUI)

Use the following procedure to configure management interfaces.

1. Go to Configuration > Network > Configuration.
2. Click the add icon next to Datalinks.
3. Set the following minimum datalink properties and click APPLY.

   • VNIC - Select this check box.

   • Name - Type a name for the datalink.

4. Drag the resulting datalink to the Interfaces column.
5. In the Network Interface dialog box, set the following minimum interface properties and click APPLY:

   • Name - Type a name for interface.

   • Enable Interface - Select this check box to enable the interface.

   • Allow Administration - Select this check box to make this a management interface, which enables BUI connections on port 215 and CLI connections on ssh port 22.

     ---

     Note -  The Allow Administration option makes it a management interface, enabling BUI connections on port 215 and CLI connections on ssh port 22.

     ---

   • Use IPv4 Protocol or Use IPv6 Protocol - Select a protocol, its type of address, and enter one or more IP addresses in CIDR notation.

6. If clustered controllers, repeat steps 1-5 on the second controller.
7. Click the trash icon next to Untitled Interface, which is the default interface, to destroy it.

   ---

   Note -  When an interface is deleted, all routes associated with the interface are also removed.

   ---

8. In the Update Default Route dialog box, type the Default Gateway and select an Interface from the drop-down menu. Click COMMIT WITH ROUTE.

   The default gateway is the default router IP address. For the interface, select the datalink that you assigned to the first management interface.

   ---

   Note -  It is strongly recommended to set a route because it enables communication with the appliance via the BUI and CLI. Without a route, the only means of communication with the appliance is through an Oracle ILOM connection to the SP.
