About Your System

Configuration Wizard

The CMC is preset for DHCP. To use a static IP address, you must toggle the

CMC setting from DHCP to a static address by either running the LCD

Configuration Wizard, or by using a management station and CLI

commands. (For more information, see the PowerEdge M1000e Configuration

Guide or CMC documentation.)

NOTE:

After you run the configuration wizard, this option is no longer available on

the LCD menus.

1 Choose a language from the options presented in the dialog box.
2 Start the configuration wizard.
3 Configure the CMC network settings for your network environment:

• Network speed
• Duplex mode
• Network mode (DHCP or static)
• Static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values (if static mode was

selected)

• DNS settings

4 If desired, configure the iDRAC network settings.

See the CMC User’s Guide for detailed information about the iDRAC.

NOTE:

The configuration wizard automatically configures each blade’s iDRAC

internal network interface if you do not choose to manually configure the

iDRAC settings.

NOTE:

You cannot set a static IP address for the iDRAC using the LCD

Configuration Wizard. To set a static IP address, use the CMC Web-based

interface or RACADM.

5 Review the settings on the Network Summary screen.

• If the settings are correct, press the center button to close the

configuration wizard and return to the

Main Menu.

• If the settings are not correct, use the left arrow key to return to the

screen for that setting and correct it.

After you complete the configuration wizard, the CMC is available on your

network.
