Appliance Default Settings
The appliance is shipped with these default settings:
• The NIC mode is Shared LOM EXT.
Shared LOM EXT mode enables the 1-Gb/10-Gb Ethernet ports and the ports on any installed Cisco
virtual interface card (VIC) to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (Cisco IMC). If you
want to use the 10/100/1000 dedicated management ports to access Cisco IMC, you can connect to the
appliance and change the NIC mode as described in Setting Up the System With the Cisco IMC
Configuration Utility, on page 26.
• The NIC redundancy is Active-Active. All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously.
• DHCP is enabled.
• IPv4 is enabled.
Connection Methods
There are two methods for connecting to the system for initial setup:
• Local setup—Use this procedure if you want to connect a keyboard and monitor directly to the system
for setup. This procedure can use a KVM cable or the ports on the rear of the appliance.
• Remote setup—Use this procedure if you want to perform setup through your dedicated management
LAN.
To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same
network as the system. Your DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range
of MAC addresses for this server node. The MAC address is printed on a label
that is on the pull-out asset tag on the front panel. This server node has a range
of six MAC addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on
the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.
