OS6900 EMP Out of band configuration

Post by AFouladvand »

Hello guys

I used "modify boot parameters" for my EMP IP assignment.
Now i have two problems and i don't know how to resolve.
1, since EMP is using Static-Routes as it's default gateway, I am not able to connect to EMP interface before having chassis loaded.
Also, when system is booting, i can see :
nvram netmask is 255.255.255.0
nvram ipaddr is 10.10.10.251
nvram gatewayip is 0.0.0.0
I think if a set an IP as my "nvram gateway ip" my routing problem to the EMP when system is not loaded can be resolved.
Question: how can i set "nvram gatewayip" since it is not in command list when i hit ? on "modify boot parameters" environment.

2, the EMP is using system authentication configuration so when system is not fully loaded, is it not possible to have Telnet/SSH or Webview access to the system using EMP.
Question: how can i have Telnet/SSH access to EMP when system is not loaded ?.

correct - EMP is only useable if AOS is fully loaded. You can configure in AOS a static route for your EMP network.

Hi rekeds,
for both questions I have opened SR at ALE. But both it not possible. There is a command to set gateway in NVRAM - but it doesn't work. Like written: if you have a out of band management net via EMP than you can configure a "normal" static route in AOS. It works (if AOS is loaded).
