NimbostratusConfigure AOM IP address on new 2000/4000 platforms
Hello,
It appears to me that the only way the IP address can be configured for the AOM is via the console cable on the new hardware platforms.
Is there anyway this can be done remotely (i....
On your particular hardware platform, serial connection looks to be your only option:

Hi Ben,
Maybe other people have some hacks, I've quickly checked on a 4000 and it doesn't seem to be any other way. Since the AOM runs separately from TMOS, I believe this separation is necessary. Otherwise, if they would interfere, when one goes down, it can bring down the other. Also, I think the logic with the IP address being set only from serial console is that these units must have an administrator configuring them for the first time anyway. When the unit comes, you need to change its management IP address from the default one. So, when the admin performs that action, they should also configure the IP for the AOM (I'm guessing that's the reasoning behind all this).
Cheers!
