To configure BMC network settings on HMC 7063-CR2, you can use either the HMC UI or the BMC Web UI.

Using the HMC UI

For HMC v9r2.950 and v10r1.1010:

1. Power on the HMC.
2. Log in as hscroot.
3. Click Console Management.
4. Click Console Settings.
5. Click Change BMC/IPMI Network Settings.
6. Select either DHCP or STATIC. If static is selected, complete the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.
7. Click OK.

Following the completion of this task, the BMC Web UI can be accessed for further configuration via the Launch BMC/IPMI Login task.

For HMC v10r2.103x to v10r2.105x:

1. Power on the HMC.
2. Log in as hscroot.
3. Click HMC Management.
4. Click BMC Connectivity.
5. Select the desired BMC interface port type (Dedicated and/or Shared) by checking the corresponding box. This enables the fields to enter the network settings.
6. For each interface port type selected, specify if it is to be configured using DHCP or STATIC.
7. If static is selected, complete the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.
8. Click OK.

Following the completion of this task, the BMC Web UI can be accessed for further configuration via the BMC Web Log In task.

For HMC v10r3.106x and newer:

1. Power on the HMC.
2. Log in as hscroot.
3. Click HMC Management.
4. Click BMC settings.
5. In the Connectivity section, both the Dedicated port and the Shared port are configured to Obtain IP address automatically by default. To assign a static IP for either or both ports, select Specify a static IP address (IPv4) and fill in the required fields (IP address (IPv4), Subnet mask, and gateway).
6. Click Save.

Following the completion of this task, the BMC Web UI can be accessed for further configuration through the BMC Web Log In task.

Using the BMC Web UI

1. If the BMC already has an IP address set, skip this step. Otherwise, set the system you will be using to configure the BMC to have an address in the 192.254.x.x range (e.g., 192.254.50.17) with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
2. Open a browser to: https:// (e.g., https://mowgli.local).
3. At the login, enter the username (default is root) and the password (default is 0penBmc). If the default password was used, you will be prompted to change it.
4. From the left menu, click Server configuration.
5. Click Bmc network settings. By default, the settings for eth0 are shown first. Use the drop-down menu under NETWORK INTERFACE to select the desired interface. The eth0 interface maps to the physical eth0 port on the HMC, and the eth1 interface maps to the dedicated port (port M).
6. In the IPV4 SETTINGS section, select OBTAIN AN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY USING DHCP or ASSIGN A STATIC IP ADDRESS depending on the desired setting. If ASSIGN A STATIC IP ADDRESS is selected, click Add IPV4 address to enter the values.
7. Under the DNS SETTINGS section, click Add DNS server to add the IP of a DNS server if applicable.
8. Click Save settings at the bottom of the page.

The default username and password for accessing the BMC Web UI are:

• Username: root
• Password: 0penBmc (with a zero instead of the letter O)

If the default password was used, you will be prompted to change it.
