This guide contains instructions for installing and configuring Cisco Integrated Management Controller Express (CIMC-E) 1.0.2 in the following sections:

•Installing CIMC-E 1.0.2 Image

•Initial Configuration

For more detailed information, see Cisco Integrated Management Controller Express.

Installing CIMC-E 1.0.2 Image

Before you install the CIMC-E software, you must configure and enable the Embedded Service Engine as described in Cisco Integrated Management Controller Express.

---

Step 1 Verify that the Embedded Service Engine is enabled using this command.

router# service-module Embedded-Service-Engine 0/0 status

Service Module is Cisco Embedded-Service-Engine0/0

Service Module supports session via TTY line 2

Service Module heartbeat-reset is enabled

Embedded Service Engine boot state is UBOOT UP

No install/uninstall in progress

If the Embedded Service Engine is enabled, it is in the UBOOT UP state, as shown in this example.

Step 2 Copy the following files to an FTP server:

•cimce-full.vsem.1.0.2.prt1

•cimce-installer.vsem.1.0.2.prt1

•cimce-k9.vsem.1.0.2.key

•cimce-k9.vsem.1.0.2.pkg

•cimce-k9.vsem.1.0.2.pkg.install.sre

•cimce-k9.vsem.1.0.2.pkg.install.sre.header

•cimce-installer.vsem.1.0.2

This example is for a Cisco 2911 or Cisco 2921 (vsem) platform. For Cisco 2951 platforms and higher, the file names include "vsep" instead of "vsem."

Step 3 From the Cisco IOS prompt, enter the following command:

router# service-module Embedded-Service-Engine 0/0 install url 
ftp://<ftpserver>/cimce-k9.vsem.1.0.2.pkg

Step 4 From the Cisco IOS prompt, enter the following command to monitor the status of the installation:

router# service-module Embedded-Service-Engine 0/0 status

---

Initial Configuration

To properly configure the CIMC-E application, you must run commands on both Cisco IOS software and CIMC-E software as described in the following sections:

•Cisco IOS Initial Configuration Commands

•CIMC-E Initial Configuration Commands

•Verifying that CIMC-E is Configured Properly

Cisco IOS Initial Configuration Commands

Follow these procedures on your Cisco ISR G2:

•Setting Up HTTPS Server and Authentication

•Configuring WSMA

•Configure Command Rollback

Setting Up HTTPS Server and Authentication

Enter the following configuration commands on the Cisco ISR G2 to allow CIMC-E to communicate with the Cisco ISR G2 over HTTPS:

router# config t

router(config)# ip http secure-server

router(config)# ip http authentication local

router(config)# exit

router#

Configuring WSMA

Enter the following configuration commands on the Cisco ISR G2 to allow CIMC-E to retrieve information from the Cisco ISR G2:

router# config t

router(config)# username wsmauser privilege 15 password 0 password

router(config)# wsma profile listener wsma

router(config-wsma-listen)# transport https path /cimce

router(config)# wsma agent exec profile wsma

router(config)# wsma agent config profile wsma

router(config)# wsma agent notify profile wsma

router(config)# exit

router#

Configure Command Rollback

Enter the following configuration commands on the Cisco ISR G2 to allow CIMC-E to communicate with the Cisco ISR G2 properly:

router# config t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)# archive

router(config-archive)# log config

router(config-archive-log-cfg)# hidekeys

router(config-archive-log-cfg)# exit

router(config-archive)# path flash:roll

router(config-archive)# maximum 5

router(config-archive)# exit

router#

CIMC-E Initial Configuration Commands

When the Cisco ISR G2 has been properly configured, the CIMC-E software must be configured with settings that match what was entered on the Cisco ISR G2. To do this, log in to the CIMC-E CLI interface using Secure Shell (SSH).

---

Note The default username and password for CIMC-E is "admin" and "password" respectively.

---

Below is an example of how to log into the CIMC-E CLI interface. For this example, the IP address of the Embedded-Service-Engine is 10.0.0.5.

ssh admin@10.0.0.5

admin@10.0.0.5's password:

se-10-0-0-5#

CIMC-E must be configured using the same parameters that were used in the "Cisco IOS Initial Configuration Commands" section. The following commands are found in the scope "cimce."

se-10-0-0-5# scope cimce

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce # set username wsmauser

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce *# set password password

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce *# set url url

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce *# commit

The following example shows uses the configuration above. For this example, the IP address of the Cisco ISR G2 (as reachable from the Embedded Service Engine) is 10.0.0.2.

se-10-0-0-5# scope cimce

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce # set username wsmauser

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce *# set password password

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce *# set url 10.0.0.2/cimce

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce *# commit

Username:        wsmauser

Password:        <hidden>

End Point:       10.0.0.2/cimce

New config changes have been saved

se-10-0-0-5 /cimce #

The URL is the IP address of the Cisco ISR G2, followed by the path set up in the "Configuring WSMA" section.

The username and password set up here must correspond to the username and password set up in the "Configuring WSMA" section.

Verifying that CIMC-E is Configured Properly

To verify that the CIMC-E application is configured properly, use the show hardware command in scope router. In the following example, the IP address of the Embedded Service Engine is 10.0.0.5:

ssh admin@10.0.0.5

admin@10.0.0.5's password:

se-10-0-0-5# scope router

se-10-0-0-5 /router# show hardware

Cisco IOS Software, C2900 Software (C2900-UNIVERSALK9-M)

Cisco CISCO2911/K9 (revision 1.0) with 729056K/57344K bytes of memory.

Chassis Serial Number    : FTX1405A1Z5

Chassis MAC Address      : 0000.e181.5150

se-10-0-0-5#

If CIMC-E is configured properly, you should see output similar to this example when you run the show hardware command.
