Configuring CIMC Access Using the EHWIC E-Series NCE's External GE2 Interface
Important |
If you are using the external GE2 interface on an EHWIC E-Series NCE or the NIM E-Series NCE to configure CIMC access, to configure CIMC access, you might lose connectivity with CIMC during server reboot. This is expected behavior. If you must maintain connectivity with CIMC during a reboot, we recommend that you use one of the other network interfaces to configure CIMC access. See CIMC Access Configuration Options—EHWIC E-Series NCE. If you want to use the external GE2 interface to configure CIMC access, we recommend that you use the spanning-tree portfast command. For details, see the CSCup50049 caveat in the Release Notes for Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engine |

Configuring CIMC Access Using the NIM E-Series NCE's Internal GE0 Interface and the Cisco ISR 4000 Series ucse 0/subslot/0 Interface
See the following figure and the procedure that follows to configure CIMC access using the NIM E-Series NCE's internal GE0 interface and the router's ucse 0/subslot/0 interface.
Before you begin
Make sure that you have the following information:
-
IP address of CIMC.
-
Username and password for logging in to the router.
-
Slot or subslot and port number of the E-Series Server or NCE.
Procedure
Command or Action | Purpose | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 |
Router> enable |
Enters privileged EXEC mode on the host router. Enter your password if prompted. |
||||
Step 2 |
Router# configure terminal |
Enters global configuration mode on the host router. |
||||
Step 3 |
Router (config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0 |
Enters interface configuration mode for Gigabit Ethernet interface 0/0/0. |
||||
Step 4 |
Router (config-if)# ip address ip-address subnet-mask |
Specifies the IP address and subnet mask of the interface. |
||||
Step 5 |
Router (config-if)# no shut |
Causes the interface to be administratively up. |
||||
Step 6 |
Router (config-if)# exit |
Exits interface configuration mode. |
||||
Step 7 |
Router (config)# interface ucse 0/subslot/0 |
Enters ucse interface configuration mode for the slot, subslot, and port where the NIM E-Series NCE is installed. |
||||
Step 8 |
Router (config-if)# ip unnumbered type number |
The ip unnumbered command enables IP processing on an interface without assigning an explicit IP address to that interface.
When you use the ip unnumbered command, you must use the ip route command to create a static route.
|
||||
Step 9 |
Router (config-if)# no shut |
Causes the interface to be administratively up. |
||||
Step 10 |
Router (config-if)# exit |
Exits interface configuration mode. |
||||
Step 11 |
Router (config)# ucse subslot slot/subslot |
Enters ucse interface configuration mode for the slot and subslot where the NIM E-Series NCE is installed. |
||||
Step 12 |
Router (config-ucse)# imc ip address cimc-ip-address subnet-mask default-gateway cimc-gateway-ip-address |
Specifies the IP address of CIMC and the IP address of the default gateway that CIMC must use.
|
||||
Step 13 |
Router (config-ucse)# imc access-port shared-lom console |
Configures CIMC access using the NIM E-Series NCE's internal GE0 interface. See # 3 in Understanding the Interfaces in the NIM E-Series NCE and the Cisco ISR 4000 Series. |
||||
Step 14 |
Router (config-ucse)# exit |
Exits ucse interface configuration mode. |
||||
Step 15 |
Router (config)# ip route cimc-ip-address subnet-mask ucse slot/subslot/port |
Creates a static route.
|
||||
Step 16 |
Router (config)# end |
Exits configuration mode. |
||||
Step 17 |
Router# ping cimc-ip-address |
Verifies the connection from the router to CIMC through the ucse 0/subslot/0 interface. |

Router(config)# ip route 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.255 ucse 0/1/0
Router(config)# end
Router# ping 10.0.0.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
