Interacting with the Management Processor
To interact with the management processor, perform the following steps:
NOTE On initial system installation, the MP has two default user accounts. They are:
1. Administrator level user; login=Admin, password=Admin (both are case sensitive).
2. Operator level user; login=Oper, password=Oper (both are case sensitive).
For security reasons, it is recommended that the UC command be used during the initial logon
session (enter CM at the MP> prompt, and enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt) to modify default
passwords or to delete and create user accounts.
Step 1. Log in using your management processor user account name and password.
NOTE The management processor will start with the MP Main Menu displayed. To follow
these steps, make sure you are at the Main Menu. If you are not at the Main Menu,
use CTRL+B to return to the Main Menu.
Step 2. Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. Main Menu commands are shown
in the Main MP Menu. Commands not displayed in the MP Main Menu can be accessed in
command mode by first using the CM command at the MP prompt. A list of available commands is
presented and can be displayed by using the management processor help function (enter HE
followed by LI at the MP> prompt). You can return to the MP Main Menu by typing
CTRL+B.
Step 3. Log out using the X command (enter X at the MP> prompt) after returning to the MP Main Menu.

To set the management processor LAN IP address:
Step 1. At the MP Main Menu prompt (MP>), enter CM to select command mode.
Step 2. At the command mode prompt (MP:CM>), enter LC (for LAN configuration).
