Setting Up the System With the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility
Before you begin
The following procedure is performed after you connect to the system and open the Cisco IMC Configuration
Utility.
Step 1
Set the NIC mode to choose which ports to use to access Cisco IMC for server management:
• Shared OCP Extended—In this NIC mode, DHCP replies are returned to the OCP adapter card (Intel X710 OCP
3.0 card) and the Cisco virtual interface card (VIC) ports. If the system determines that the Cisco VIC connection
is not getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS Manager system because the server is in standalone mode, further
DHCP requests from the Cisco VIC are disabled.
• Shared OCP—The OCP adapter card is used to access Cisco IMC. You must select either the Active-Active or
Active-standby NIC redundancy setting in the following step.
• Dedicated—The dedicated management port is used to access Cisco IMC. You must select the None NIC redundancy
setting in the following step.
• Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) are used to access the Cisco IMC.
You must select either the Active-Active or Active-standby NIC redundancy setting in the following step.
