If the system management daemon (confd) is not able to run when the system starts up, the system will not configure its management IP address and will not have network connectivity.
Management connectivity is lost, and the only way to access the system is via serial console.
rSeries appliance
An administrator can configure an IP address and default route for an rSeries appliance when logged in from the serial console using the "ip" command. For instance, the following commands temporarily assign a management IP address of 198.51.100.100 to the appliance, and create a default route via a gateway of 198.51.100.254. ip addr add 198.51.100.100/24 dev mgmt0-system ip route add default via 198.51.100.254
Configure IP workaround.
