Introduction

COMCERT PMA-2XX is a custom-build appliance optimized for running NETSCOUT InfiniStream.  This guide will assist you in configuring the appliance for first use.  

 

Solution

Physical installation and connections

Please visit PMA-2XX Physical installation, connections and environmental specifications for detailed information on how to install the appliance and connect it to the network.

 

IP configuration

The appliance management (MGT) and out-of-band (iDRAC) interface comes pre configured with the following IP settings.

Parameter MGT (IP_PMA) iDAC (IP_IDRAC)
IP address 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1
IP subnet mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
Default router 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1
DNS Server 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1
Domain suffix comcert.com comcert.com
NTP Server 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1

To access the appliance either by its management interface or out-of-band interface, use a computer with a static IP address in the same IP subnet as the respective interface and a standard four-pair twisted-pair cable.  The management interface is only accessible using the ssh protocol.  The out-of-band interface is accessible by either https (preference) or ssh.   For default credentials please visit Default credentials .  Please make sure to change these default passwords and store them is a sale place.

 

Changing the IP configuration

Out-of-band (iDRAC)

The IP configuration of the out-of-band interface can be changed via the WebUI or during the appliance boot process using a KVM.  During boot, press <F2> to enter the setup menu and select iDRAC.  Make sure to save the new settings.

PMA-2XX (MGT) 

As we mentionned in the introduction, the main purpose of the PMA-2XX is to serve as an appliance for NETSCOUT InfiniStream.  Changing the IP address of the PMA-2XX is done in accordance to NETSCOUT instructions.  

Access the appliance as root using an up-to-date ssh client of your choise. For default credentials please visit Default credentials . 

Execute the follwing commands:

  1. isbin
  1. ./nGAppliance

This will open a dialog that allows you to modify its existing IP configuration.  If you make a mistake, Ctrl-C out of the dialog and start over.
