The BMC web application allows provisioning of primary and secondary host management interfaces. When the host management interfaces are configured, a direct link from the BMC is enabled to the EMA for installing and upgrading the SBC 7000 application.
Use the following procedure to configure the primary and secondary host management interfaces:
Logon to the SBC BMC GUI using the IP address configured in the previous section. The SBC BMC main screen appears.
Navigate to Configuration > Platform Management Network tab. The Platform Management Network Settings screen is displayed.
NoteA message appears to enter the management IP addresses for the first time installation.
- Click OK.
Configure the following network settings for both the Management Interface 0 and 1.
- IPv4 Address or/and IPv6 Address
- Prefix
- Default GatewayClick Save.
NoteWhen coming from an application software release prior to SBC 3.1.x, an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address is applied as an unusable placeholder in the IPv6 management address, this mapped address must be removed or set to a valid IPv6 address when updating the management addresses via BMC.
Once you update a new Management IP address from the BMC and click Save, a warning message displays informing you to reinstall the SBC application software.
If you update the Management IP using CLI/EMA or RAMP, the change will automatically update in the BMC and an application re-installation is not required.
