Setting an IP Address for the Management Network Port

Scenarios

• The IP address of the management network port in the converged switching plane can be set on the HMM WebUI. For details, see Procedure.
• On the converged switching plane CLI, run the ip address command to set the IP address of the management network port in the converged switching plane. For details, see the CX110 and CX31x Series Switch Modules V100R001C00 Command Reference.
• On the MM910 CLI, run the swipcontrol command to set IP address of the management network port in the converged switching plane. For details, see the MM910 Management Module V100R001 Command Reference.

Prerequisites

Data

Table 4-3 lists the data to be obtained before this operation.

Table 4-4 lists the default data to be prepared.

Software

PuTTY.exe is free software. You can download it from the Internet. PuTTY 0.60 or later is required for login over a serial port.

Procedure

1. Log in to the BMC CLI.
2. Log in to the HMM WebUI. For details, see Logging In to the MM910 WebUI.
3. Perform operations based on the MM910 versions.
   • If the MM910 version is (U54) 2.20 or earlier, go to 4.
   • If the MM910 version is later than (U54) 2.20, go to 8.

     You can run the smmget -l smm -d version command on the MM910 CLI to check the software version.

4. In the navigation tree on HMM Web, choose System Management > Network Management.

   The Network Management page is displayed.

5. Click the swiN tab.

   The IP Address page is displayed, as shown in Figure 4-2.

   • N indicates the slot number of the current switch module. Its value ranges from 1 to 4, mapping to slot numbers 1E, 2X, 3X, and 4E from left to right.
   • fabric indicates the converged switching plane.

6. Select a switching plane for which the IP address is to be configured, and enter the IP address and subnet mask.
7. Click Modify, and complete the modification as prompted. Then click Query to check that the settings take effect.

   The IP address configuration is complete.

8. On HMM Web, choose Chassis Settings.

   The Chassis Settings page is displayed.

9. In the navigation tree on the left, choose Network Settings > Switch Modules.

   On the HMM WebUI, "Swi" is changed to "Switch Modules" from version 6.91A.

10. Click Edit to edit the IP addresses of management network ports in the converged switching plane of switch modules in specific slots.

    Fabric indicates the converged switching plane.

11. Click Deliver.

    The IP addresses of converged switching plane management network ports are successfully set.

12. (Optional) Configure the switching plane gateway.
    1. Connect to the MM910 floating IP address over SSH to log in to the MM910 CLI.

       PuTTY is used as an example for login over SSH. For details, see Logging In to the MM910 CLI over a Network Port by Using PuTTY.

    2. Configure a gateway address for the Ethernet switching plane so that the switching plane can properly communicate with the PC.

       smmset -l swiN:fruM -d route -v targetvalue maskvalue gatewayvalue

       The parameters are described as follows:

       • N: specifies the slot number of a switch module. Its value ranges from 1 to 4, mapping to switch module slots 1E, 2X, 3X, and 4E from left to right.
       • M: indicates the ID of a switching plane. The value of the converged switching plane is 2.
       • targetvalue: specifies the target network segment IP address of the switching plane.
       • maskvalue: specifies the subnet mask of the switching plane.
       • gatewayvalue: specifies the gateway IP address of the switching plane.
