The following procedure describes how to use the Windows PC/terminal to connect the SBC 5000 series serial port and assign it an IP address.
Procedure
- Connect one end of the supplied serial cable (DSUB 9-Pin Female to DSUB 9-Pin Male) to the SBC DB9 serial port and the other end to the serial port of your PC.
- Use the following serial port settings of PC.
. Baud:38400
. Data bits:8
. Stop bits:1
. Parity:None
. Flow Control:None - Login to the BMC using default credentials:
At the prompt enter:
Username: root
Password: <password for root user of BMC> (default: superuser) Execute the bmcInit.sh command. Assign the BMC management IP address, netmask, default gateway and NTP time server IP address.
Example:# sh bmcInit.sh ************************************************************* *** BMC Initialization *** ************************************************************* Enter BMC management IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) : 10.2.12.181 Enter BMC management netmask (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd): 255.255.255.0 Enter default gateway IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) : 10.2.12.1 Enter NTP time server IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) : 10.1.1.2 Enter advanced configuration? <y/n>:n Note: The advanced configuration is used exclusively to configure static routes. For this installation example, enter "n".
Verify your entries.... bmcIpAddr = 10.2.12.181 bmcNetmask = 255.255.255.0 gatewayIpaddr = 10.2.12.1 ntpServerIpaddr = 10.1.1.2 Ok to apply configuration? <y/N>:y Restarting NTP and network services .... Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter. Reconfiguratoin network interfaces...done. Restarting NTP server: ntpd... done. Note: Reboot the BMC after completing the process.
- Connect the Field Service port of the SBC to the Ethernet router and access the BMC over the network.
