Citrix ADC MPX
Configure the Citrix ADC LOM port by using the shell
Note: You need superuser (admin) credentials to access the shell.
1. Configure the IP addressing mode:
• To use DHCP, at the shell prompt, type:
ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp
No further IP‑level configuration is required.
• To use static addressing, at the shell prompt type:
a) ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static
b) ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr <LOM IP address>
c) ipmitool lan set 1 netmask <netmask IP address>
d) ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr <default gateway IP address>
The BMC reboots to apply the changes. Pings to the BMC succeed aer approximately 60
seconds.
2. Optionally, to configure Ethernet VLAN ID and priority, at the Citrix ADC shell prompt type:
• ipmitool lan set 1 vlan id <off|<ID>>
• ipmitool lan set 1 vlan priority <priority>
You can either disable or enable the VLAN. Set the VLAN ID to a value from 1 to 4094, and the
VLAN priority to a value from 0 to 7. Aer the network settings have been correctly applied, you
can access the ipmitool remotely from a physically separate machine over the network. For
remote access, enter the BMC user name, BMC password, and the BMC IP address. For example,
to run the ipmitool mc info command, at the shell prompt on a remote machine, type:
ipmitool –U <username> –P <password> –H <bmc IP address> mc info
Obtain health monitoring information
There are two ADC MIBs: the Citrix ADC soware management MIB and the ADC IPMI LOM hardware
management MIB. The soware management MIB is primarily used for monitoring the application
soware and the application soware’s utilization of hardware resources, such as CPU % and mem‑
ory %. It provides a high level view of the appliance and is therefore suitable for the application mon‑
itoring function carried out by an application group within an organization. The LOM MIB is used for
monitoring the hardware health and therefore provides a lower level view of the appliance. It is more
applicable to the network monitoring function carried out by a network monitoring group.
The LOM SNMP traps in the LOM MIB report hardware failures. The ADC SNMP traps in the ADC MIB
report soware failures and hardware load issues.
