MPCMM0001 Chassis Management Module Software Technical Product Specification 75
The Command Line Interface (CLI)
4. Add the NETMASK2 variable and set it to the appropriate netmask for STATICIP2 for your
network. The NETMASK2 variable needs to be correct to allow for true redundant operation.
5. Add the GATEWAY1 variable and set it to the appropriate value for the gateway for
STATICIP1.
6. Add the GATEWAY2 variable and set it to the appropriate value for the gateway for
STATICIP2
7. Set the SETIP variable to assign IP addresses eth1 and eth1:1 based on the following table:
8. To activate the changes, at the user prompt (from the root “/” directory), type:
/etc/rc.d/network reload
8.3.2 Setting a Hostname
The hostname of the CMM is a logical name that is used to identify a particular CMM. This name
is shown at login time just to the left of the login prompt on the serial port interface when
configured (i.e., “MYHOST login:”) and advertised to any DNS servers on a network. If there is no
entry in /etc/HOSTNAME, the login prompt will not have anything next to it. By default, the
hostname is set to the product name (i.e. MPCMM0001).
The hostname should be configured on the each CMM. To change the hostname:
1. Using the vi editor, change the HOSTNAME variable in /etc/HOSTNAME to the desired
name.
2. To activate the changes, at the user prompt (from the root “/” directory), type:
etc/rc.d/network reload
Note: Executing network reload also causes the network interfaces to reload their IP addresses. If DHCP
is being used on a network interface, then it is possible that the IP address on that interface will
change.
8.3.3 Setting the Amount of Time for Auto-Logout
For security purposes, the CMM automatically logs the user out of the current console session after
15 minutes (900 seconds). This auto-logout time can be changed by editing /etc/profile and
changing the TMOUT value to the desired setting. The time-out (TMOUT) value is set in seconds
(900 seconds is the default). A setting of TMOUT=0 will disable the automatic logout. This can
also be set at the command line.
