Introduction

The following information provides examples for configuring the HDM dedicated and shared network ports and Wi-Fi information through the HDM Web page.

Prerequisites

Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the products.

The configuration was created and verified in a lab environment, and all the servers and software were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have learned about functions related to HDM network settings.

Applicable scenarios

The following information applies to the scenarios where HDM network settings need to be completed to realize configuration of various ports and integrate the HDM management network with the current network management system.

Example: Configuring network settings

Network analysis

As shown in Figure 1, the HDM dedicated and shared ports of the target server (H3C UniServer R4900 G5 in this example, or R4900 G5 for short) are connected to client A and client B through a switch. On client A, log in to the HDM Web page using the default IP address of the HDM dedicated network port, configure the IP addresses of the dedicated and shared network ports and wireless network. It is required that client A can navigate to HDM through the dedicated network port, shared network port, or wireless network.

Figure 1 Network diagram

· HDM management software information:

¡ IP address of the dedicated network port: 192.168.1.2/24 (Default IP address)

¡ Administrator account: admin

¡ Administrator password: Password@_

· Client A information:

¡ IP addresses: 192.168.55.177/16

· Client B information:

¡ IP addresses: 172.168.20.66/16

Software versions used

This example was created and verified on HDM 2.90 and HDM Mobile 2.0.0.

Restrictions and guidelines

· When the network port is in the normal mode, configure the IP addresses of the HDM shared network port, dedicated network port and wireless network in three different network segments. The IP addresses cannot be the same; otherwise, the network failure may occur.

· Do not disable all HDM network ports at the same time; otherwise, users will not be able to navigate to the HDM Web interface.

· After the HDM network configuration is modified, the browser session will be disconnected. It may take several minutes before the HDM Web interface can be reconnected.

· After modifying the HDM network settings, wait until the configuration takes effect, and then power off and restart the server.

· A mobile client may fail to access the Internet after it is connected to the HDM wireless network.

· Ensure that HDM Mobile has been downloaded and installed on the mobile client.

Procedures

Logging in to HDM

1. Open a browser on client A, and enter the default IP address of the HDM dedicated port 192.168.1.2 in the address bar to navigate to the HDM login page, as shown in Figure 2. On the HDM login page, enter the default username admin and the default password Password@_, and then click Log In.

Figure 2 Login page

2. Select Network > Dedicated Port, and view the general information, IP address and VLAN information of the dedicated port, as shown in Figure 3.

Configuring the dedicated port

The HDM dedicated network port is designed to handle HDM management traffic. The default IPv4 address is 192.168.1.2/24, and the IPv6 addresses are obtained automatically by default through DHCP.

1. Click Configure in the upper right corner of the Dedicated Port tab. On the dedicated port configuration page that opens, configure the IP address and VLAN information, as shown in Figure 4.

a. Configure the IPv4 address. In this example, a static IP address is configured.

- Enable the IPv4 configuration function.

- Disable Automatic IP obtaining.

- Set IPv4 address to 192.168.50.137.

- Set Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

- Set Default gateway to 0.0.0.0.

b. Configure the IPv6 address. In this example, the IP address is obtained automatically through DHCP.

- Enable the IPv6 configuration function.

- Enable Automatic IP obtaining.

c. (Optional) Configure the VLAN information.

- Enable the VLAN configuration function.

- Configure the VLAN ID and VLAN priority. In this example, the default values are retained.

2. Click Save. HDM restarts automatically to make the configuration take effect. After the configuration takes effect, you need to log in to HDM again.

Configuring the shared port

The HDM shared port can handle the management traffic of HDM and service traffic of the server simultaneously. It automatically obtains the IP address through DHCP by default.

1. Open a browser on client A, and enter the IP address of the HDM dedicated port 192.168.50.137 in the address bar to navigate to the HDM login page. On the HDM login page, enter the default username admin and the default password Password@_, and then click Login to log in to HDM again.

2. Select Network > Shared Port, and view the information of the shared port, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Shared Port page

3. Click Configure in the upper right corner. On the shared port configuration page that opens, configure the LAN, IP address and VLAN information, as shown in Figure 6.

a. Enable the LAN configuration function.

b. Configure the IPv4 address. In this example, a static IP address is configured.

- Enable the IPv4 configuration function.

- Disable Automatic IP obtaining.

- Set IPv4 address to 172.168.20.12.

- Set Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

- Set Default gateway to 0.0.0.0.

c. Configure the IPv6 address. In this example, the IP address is obtained automatically through DHCP.

- Enable the IPv6 configuration function.

- Enable Automatic IP obtaining.

d. (Optional) Configure the VLAN information.

- Enable the VLAN configuration function.

- Configure the VLAN ID and VLAN priority. In this example, the default values are retained.

4. Click Save. HDM restarts automatically to make the configuration take effect. After the configuration takes effect, you need to log in to HDM again.

Configuring the Wi-Fi information

1. Use a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable to connect the USB WiFi module to the dedicated management port on the left mounting ear of the server.

2. Log in to the HDB Web page again through the HDM dedicated port or shared port, and the Wi-Fi Management page, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 Wi-Fi Management page

3. Configure the Wi-Fi information, as shown in Figure 8.

¡ Wi-Fi name: BMC_WiFi

¡ Encryption mode: Unencrypted (Default)

¡ Idle timeout: 0, indicating that the Wi-Fi network will not be automatically disconnected.

¡ Wi-Fi IP address: 170.168.199.1. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 by default.

¡ DHCP address pool:170.168.199.2 to 170.168.199.255
