Chapter 2 Installing the Server
Initial Server Setup
• The gateway.
For IPv6, if you do not know the gateway, you can set it as none by entering :: (two colons).
• The preferred DNS server address.
For IPv6, you can set this as none by entering :: (two colons).
Step 3 (Optional) Use this utility to make VLAN settings.
Step 4 Press F1 to go to the second settings window, then continue with the next step.
From the second window, you can press F2 to switch back to the first window.
Step 5 (Optional) Set a hostname for the server.
Step 6 (Optional) Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.
Step 7 (Optional) If you check the Factory Default check box, the server reverts to the factory defaults.
Step 8 (Optional) Set a default user password.
Step 9 (Optional) Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Note Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation
sets the port speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server
is connected. If you disable auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode
manually.
Step 10 (Optional) Reset port profiles and the port name.
Step 11 Press F5 to refresh the settings that you made. You might have to wait about 45 seconds until the new
settings appear and the message, “Network settings configured” is displayed before you reboot the server
in the next step.
Step 12 Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.
Note If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on
the console screen during bootup.
Use a browser and the IP address of the Cisco IMC to connect to the Cisco IMC management interface.
The IP address is based upon the settings that you made (either a static address or the address assigned
by your DHCP server).
Note The default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.
To manage the server, see the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide or the Cisco
UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide for instructions on using those interfaces.
