Setting Up the BMC for Initial Access
Before you can access the BMC, you need to configure its network settings using the Riverbed CLI. For details about using the CLI, see the Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.
Note: The BMC uses the Primary port of the SteelHead appliance for communication.
To configure the BMC for CX570 and CX770 appliances
• Enable DHCP on the remote management port with this command:
(config) # remote dhcp
—or—
• Set up a static network configuration using the remote ip address, remote ip default-gateway, and remote ip netmask commands.
The BMC address can be on a different subnet than the appliance. (Make sure that the routers are configured to support a different subnet.)
To verify the network configuration
• Enter the show remote ip command:
(config) # show remote ip
