1. Log in to the IMM where you want to set up the configuration. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and using the IMM Web interface," on page 9. 2. In the navigation pane, click Network Interfaces. 3. If you want to use an Ethernet connection, select Enabled in the Interface field. Ethernet is enabled by default. Note: Disabling the Ethernet interface prevents all access to the IMM from the external network. 4. If you want to use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server connection, enable it by clicking either of the following choices in the DHCP field: v Enabled - Obtain IP config from DHCP server v Try DHCP server. If it fails, use static IP config. The default setting is Try DHCP server. If it fails, use static IP config. Note: Do not enable DHCP unless you have an accessible, active, and configured DHCP server on your network. When DHCP is used, the automatic configuration overrides any manual settings. If you want to assign a static IP address to the IMM, select Disabled - Use static IP configuration. If DHCP is enabled, the host name is assigned as follows: v If the Hostname field contains an entry, the IMM DHCP support requests that the DHCP server use this host name. v If the Hostname field does not contain an entry, the IMM DHCP support requests that the DHCP server assigns a unique host name to the IMM. 5. Type the IP host name of the IMM in the Hostname field. You can enter a maximum of 63 characters in this field, which represents the IP host name of the IMM. The host name defaults to IMMA, followed by the IMM burned-in media access control (MAC) address. Note: The IP host name of the IMM (the Hostname field) and IMM name (the Name field on the System page) do not automatically share the same name, because the Name field is limited to 15 characters but the Hostname field can contain up to 63 characters. To minimize confusion, set the Name field to the nonqualified portion of the IP host name. The nonqualified IP host name consists of up to the first period of a fully qualified IP host name. For example, for the fully qualified IP host name imm1.us.company.com, the nonqualified IP host name is imm1. For information about your host name, see "Setting system information" on page 15. If you enabled DHCP, go to step 12 on page 30. If you have not enabled DHCP, continue with step 6. 6. In the IP address field, type the IP address of the IMM. The IP address must contain four integers from 0 - 255 with no spaces and separated by periods. 7. In the Subnet mask field, type the subnet mask that is used by the IMM. The subnet mask must contain four integers from 0 - 255 with no spaces or consecutive periods and separated by periods. The default setting is 255.255.255.0. Chapter 3. Configuring the IMM 29
