At the serial command prompt for the ERA/MC, type racadm getniccfg.
15
The system management module reports either the DHCP address or the static IP
address.
To set a static IP address, type racadm setniccfg - s <IP_address>
16
<subnet_mask> <gateway>.
Press <Enter>.
17
Type racadm getncicfg and press <Enter>.
18
The current and static IP addresses are displayed.
Type racreset and press <Enter> to reset the controller.

NOTICE: You must reconfigure the controller time when you perform a firmware update, RAC
reset, or lose AC power to the system.
To configure the controller time, type racadm setractime - <utctime> [-o
20
<offset>]
where utctime is the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in seconds and offset is
the local time minus Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in minutes.
NOTE: It is recommended that you change the default user name and password. For
more information, see the Dell Embedded Remote Access/MC User's Guide.
After setting the IP address on the system management module, you may use the module to
manage or monitor the server modules. After the initial configuration, you may use the
serial utility, the remote racadm utility, or the browser-based management utility. For
detailed information on using these utilities, see the Dell Embedded Remote Access/MC
User's Guide and online help.

Using the Network Switch Module

The network switch module is DHCP client-enabled. After it is installed into the system
and connected to an external network, the network switch module functions properly.
Switch 1 (top) accesses LAN on motherboard (LOM1) on all of the server modules; switch
2 (bottom) accesses LOM2 on all of the server modules. For additional information on
using and configuring your switch (for example, port management or VLANs), see the
documentation CD that is shipped with your system. See Figure 1-4 for the location of the
indicators and ports on a network switch module.
