Configure BMC network manually
Steps
1. To configure BMC network manually. Log into BMC/IPMI console with sysadmin/superuser credential, and edit the /etc/
network/interfaces file as the following:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xx.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
2. Replace the IP network info with yours, then run the following command to restart network service:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
3. If you reboot BMC, you may lose the network info and need to start all over again. That’s because since you don’t have BIOS
configured and every time you reboot BMC, it fetches the information from BIOS configuration and refreshes the interfaces
file.
Check BIOS, BMC, CPLD versions
Steps
1. After booting up the system, check BIOS and CPLD by scroll up the vertical scroll bar on the right in putty session:
BIOS Boot Selector for VEP-4600
Primary BIOS Version x.xx.x.x-xx
CPLD Version:x.x
CPLD Reset Source=0x44
2. Check the BMC version in BIOS settings:
