Querying and Setting the IP Address over the Serial Port

Before accessing the iBMC CLI over the serial port, ensure that the system serial port of the chassis is switched to the iBMC serial port. You can switch over the serial port by using the Querying and Redirecting the Serial Port (serialdir) command on the CLI.

1. Connect the local PC and the server using a serial cable.
2. Open HyperTerminal and set the following parameters:
   • Bits per second: 115200
   • Data bits: 8
   • Parity: None
   • Stop bits: 1
   • Flow control: None

   For details on how to set the parameters, see Figure 4-4.

3. Click Apply.
4. Enter the user name and password to access the CLI.

   The default user is Administrator, and the default password is Admin@9000.

5. Run the ipmcget -d ipinfo command to obtain the IP address.
