Citrix ADC MPX Series User Manual

Citrix ADC MPX
Dierent Citrix appliances support dierent shells:
• For FreeBSD based Citrix ADC MPX appliances, use the bash nsroot shell (also known as NS
Shell).
• For Linux based appliances, use the Linux bash root shell.
Note: The terms LOM and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) are used interchangeably.
Caution: LOM firmware versions are platform specific. Upgrading to a LOM firmware version other
than one shown for your platform in the LOM Support Matrix, in the following link, results in the LOM
becoming unusable.
Configure the network settings on the LOM port
November 18, 2019
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. Aer 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. Aer saving the new
settings, the LOM restarts and the changes take eect. Aer 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.
