Configure the network settings on the LOM port
September 19, 2022
The default IP address for initial access to the LOM port is 192.168.1.3. Change the default credentials
and IP address the first time you log on. All LOM GUI operations require you to connect to the appli-
ance by typing the LOM IP address in a web browser and then entering the administrator credentials.
Alternatively, you can access LOM functionality through the command line by using the ipmitool
utility. Using the ipmitool utility remotely, you can:
• Determine the LOM firmware version number.
• Perform warm and cold restarts.
• Configure LOM network settings.
• Monitor the health of the appliance.
• Perform power control operations.
The utility is available for download at http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/. The ipmitool utility is also
included in Citrix ADC MPX and CloudBridge/SDX (dom0) appliances for initial LOM port network con-
figuration. When using the shell, you can choose to use DHCP or static IP settings for initial network
configuration. Aer configuring the network settings, you can use the ipmitool commands over the
network. For example, the BMC firmware revision command would need the same user name, pass-
word, and IP address that is used to access the BMC/LOM GUI port.
For initial configuration, connect the network port on your laptop or workstation directly to the LOM
port with a crossover cable. Or connect to a switch in the same local subnet(192.168.1.x) as the LOM
port. Assign a network-reachable IP address and change the default credentials. Aer saving the new
settings, the LOM restarts and the changes take eect. Aer the restart, you must use the new address
to access to the LOM.
If you make a mistake that results in losing network connectivity at both the old and new IP addresses,
you must use the local shell method to recover.
See the Secure Deployment Guide for best practices for managing administrative credentials and con-
figuring your network for a secure LOM deployment.
Note: On all MPX platforms, except MPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 and MPX 24100/24150, the
LEDs on the LOM port are nonoperational by design.
