Monitoring and Managing the Appliances with BMC Setting up the BMC for initial access
Setting up the BMC for initial access
Before you can access the BMC, you need to configure its network settings.
Note: Use the AUX port on your appliance for BMC access.
To configure the BMC on a SteelFusion Edge through the CLI
Enable DHCP on the remote management port using the remote dhcp command:
amnesiac (config) # remote dhcp
Set up a static network configuration using the remote ip address, remote ip netmask, and remote
ip default-gateway commands.
The BMC address can be on a different subnet than the appliance. (Make sure that the routers are
configured to support a different subnet.)
To verify the network configuration
Enter the show remote ip command:
amnesiac (config) # show remote ip
DHCP: Enabled
IP Address:192.168.229.185
Netmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.229.1
Mac Address:99:0e:b6:b0:2e:2f
Logging in to the BMC
The BMC provides a Web interface for monitoring and management. You can access this interface
through HTTP or HTTPS.
To connect to the BMC Web interface
1. In a Web browser, enter the IP address for the BMC management port.
To display the BMC IP address, from the SteelFusion Edge command line use the show remote ip
command.
2. If the connection is not trusted (possibly using a self-signed certificate), you are prompted to add
and confirm a security exception.
3. When prompted, log in to the Web interface. (See Figure D-1.)
