The following procedure describes how to use the Windows PC/terminal to connect to the
serial port and assign the BMC 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:115200
Data bits:8
Stop bits:1
Parity:None
Flow Control:None
- Login to the BMC using default credentials:
At the prompt enter:
Username: linuxadmin
Password: <password>
- Switch User to '
root
' using the command: su -
Enter the 'root
' access password.
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 SBC to the Ethernet router to access the BMC over the network.
