LAN congurations
For network settings, see the IPMI Specication v2.0 chapter 23.1 Set LAN Conguration Parameters Command and Table 23-4 LAN
Conguration Parameters.
In addition to setting IP addresses, use ipmitool to set the network mask, MAC address, default gateway IP and MAC addresses, and so
forth.
ipmitool commands:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool lan set 1
usage: lan set <channel> <command> <parameter>
LAN set command/parameter options:
ipaddr <x.x.x.x> Set channel IP address
netmask <x.x.x.x> Set channel IP netmask
macaddr <x:x:x:x:x:x> Set channel MAC address
defgw ipaddr <x.x.x.x> Set default gateway IP address
defgw macaddr <x:x:x:x:x:x> Set default gateway MAC address
bakgw ipaddr <x.x.x.x> Set backup gateway IP address
bakgw macaddr <x:x:x:x:x:x> Set backup gateway MAC address
password <password> Set session password for this channel
snmp <community string> Set SNMP public community string
user Enable default user for this channel
access <on|off> Enable or disable access to this channel
alert <on|off> Enable or disable PEF alerting for this channel
arp respond <on|off> Enable or disable BMC ARP responding
arp generate <on|off> Enable or disable BMC gratuitous ARP generation
arp interval <seconds> Set gratuitous ARP generation interval
vlan id <off|<id>> Disable or enable VLAN and set ID (1-4094)
vlan priority <priority> Set vlan priority (0-7)
auth <level> <type,..> Set channel authentication types
level = CALLBACK, USER, OPERATOR, ADMIN
type = NONE, MD2, MD5, PASSWORD, OEM
ipsrc <source> Set IP Address source
none = unspecified source
static = address manually configured to be static
dhcp = address obtained by BMC running DHCP
bios = address loaded by BIOS or system software
cipher_privs XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Set RMCP+ cipher suite privilege levels
X = Cipher Suite Unused
c = CALLBACK
u = USER
o = OPERATOR
a = ADMIN
O = OEM
bad_pass_thresh
<thresh_num> <1|0> <reset_interval> <lockout_interval>
Set bad password threshold
NOTE
: Dell EMC recommends setting LAN parameters from the host microprocessor. You can run all other ipmitool options
from a remote machine after the BMC has the correct IP address and LAN settings. When running ipmitool from a remote
machine, the command prex is
ipmitool -H <ip address of BMC> -I lanplus -U <user_name> -P
<password> …">
The <channel> number refers to the LAN channel, which is 1 in this BMC implementation.
