7.0 CMM Connection and Setup
7.1 CLI Overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI) connects to and communicates with the intelligent
management devices of the chassis, boards, and the CMM itself. The CLI is an IPMI-based library
of commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management application.
Administrators can access the CLI through Telnet or the CMM's serial port. Using the CLI, users
can access information about the current state of the system including current sensor values,
threshold settings, recent events, and overall chassis health.
Note: Commands should always be issued to the CLI on the active CMM. The standby CMM can only
respond to commands to the CMM location.
7.2 Connecting to the CLI
The CMM provides two connections on its front panel (see Figure 3, “Face Plate” on page 20)
• An Ethernet connection via an RJ-45 connector
• An RS-232 serial port interface also via an RJ-45 connector
Either of these interfaces can be used to log into the CMM, as well as the Ethernet interface
provided through the backplane of a chassis. Use Telnet to log into the CMM over a Ethernet
connection, or use a terminal application or serial console over the RS-232 interface.
If logging in for the first time to set up IP addresses, use the serial port console interface to perform
configuration.
7.2.1 Connecting through a Console
Connect an RS-232 serial cable with an RJ-45 connector to the serial console port on the front of
the CMM. Set your terminal application settings as follows:
• Baud – 115200
• Data Bits – 8
• Parity – None
• Stop Bits – 1
• Flow Control – Xon/Xoff or none
Connect using your terminal application.
7.2.2 Telnet into the CMM
To telnet into the CMM, point your console or telnet application to the IP address of the CMM you
wish to telnet to. If you wish to telnet to the active CMM through the backplane, you can point the
telnet application to the Eth1:1 IP address.
