The documentation in the Installation and Configuration guide is a little scant.  Not being familar with CMIC, I am a little lost of how all the connections work and how to get this up and running properly.  Is there a cheat sheet (20 pages or less) on how to get this configured and up and running?

Brett,

Tried these instructions, but they still don't work. I am confused, is CMIC running on the UCSE or is it running on the second core of the router? I never got it to work on 12.5(1)4. So perhaps, I need to get CMIC running properly on the router?

Brett,

I now have it hooked up using external interface cabled to gig0/1 of the router.

I have the router configured as 192.168.1.254 and the commands for UCSE set to:

wsmtest#show run int ucse 2/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 130 bytes
!
interface ucse2/0
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/1
imc ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
imc access-port dedicated
end

The router can now ping 192.168.1.253, but nothing outside the router can see that IP address.

-Ken

Ken,

Yes that sounds like a good idea. I'd like to have a couple of our engineers to attend as well. What times do you have available today?

Brett

Hi Ken,

There are several ways to access CIMC. If you want to access CIMC using
Œimc access-port dedicated¹ which is the dedicated management interface on
the module then router configuration would be:

-----[Management Interface UCS Module]

Router#show run int ucse 4/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 139 bytes
!
interface ucse4/0
imc ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
imc access-port dedicated
end

Have PC on same subnet as CIMC ip address and you should be able to access
CIMC GUI.

If you want access to CIMC using router¹s ucse interface then configuration
would be:

-----[G0/1 Router UCSE x/0]-----[UCSE Module]

Router#show run int g0/1
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 119 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
end

Router#show run int ucse 4/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 139 bytes
!
interface ucse4/0
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/1
imc ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
imc access-port host console
end

Router#show run | i ip route
ip route 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.255 ucse4/0
Router#

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the feedback. Difference is using dedicated mode does not
require any router ports. Traffic is directed to the dedicated management
port on the module.

You are correct about using Œimc access-port host console¹ requiring gig
interface to be up. You could have gig interface connect to switch so it
will be ŒUP¹. Connection would be something like this for Œimc access-port
host console¹:

----------[G0/1 Router UCSE x/0]------[UCSE Module]

We will take your suggestion to improve our documentation with adding
diagrams describing access methods.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Ken,

Tried your scenario where IMC connected to G0/1 of router and to make it
work we need to add default gateway in the ucse configuration:

imc ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0 default-gateway 192.168.1.254

Here is how I verified:

------[G0/2 Router G0/1]-----[IMC UCSE Module]

PC:
5.0.0.1/8
route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 5.0.0.2

Router#show run int g0/2
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 91 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
ip address 5.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
duplex auto
speed auto
end

Router#show run int g0/1
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 119 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
load-interval 30
duplex auto
speed auto
end

Router#show run int ucse 4/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 161 bytes
!
interface ucse4/0
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/1
imc ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0 default-gateway 192.168.1.254
imc access-port dedicated
end

Router#show run | i ip route
ip route 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.255 ucse4/0
Router#


Thanks,
Tom
