Configuring SBC 5400 BMC IP Address Via Serial Console

The following procedure describes how to use the Windows PC/terminal to connect the 

Procedure

1. 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.
   
   
2. Connect to the BMC through this serial port, using the following serial port settings:
   . Baud:38400
   . Data bits:8
   . Stop bits:1
   . Parity:None
   . Flow Control:None
   
   
3. Log in to the BMC using the following credentials
   Username: root
   Password: superuser
   
   

4. At the root prompt, execute the bmcInit.sh command. Assign the BMC management IP address, netmask, default gateway and NTP time server IP address. For example:

   Example:
   
   # ./bmcInit.sh

   ***               BMC Initialization                         ***
   ****************************************************************
   Enter BMC management IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)     :10.2.13.237
   Enter BMC management netmask (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd):255.255.255.0
   Enter default gateway IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)    :10.2.13.1
   Enter NTP time server IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)    :10.1.1.2
   Enter advanced configuration? <y/n>:n
   Please verify your entries....
   bmcIpAddr       = 10.2.13.237
   bmcNetmask      = 255.255.255.0
   gatewayIpaddr   = 10.2.13.1
   ntpServerIpaddr = 10.1.1.2
   Ok to apply configuration? <y/N/>:y
   Restarting NTP and network services ....
