Users Guide
Dell EMC recommends executing the LAN settings command from a system-side machine rather than from a remote machine. To set a
dynamic host conguration protocol (DHCP) IP address, use the following command:
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp
To set a static IP address:
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr <x.x.x.x>
You can also add the BMC IP address from the BIOS. For more information, see the BIOS manual at https://www.dell.com/support.
DNS conguration
Use these commands to set and get domain name server (DNS)-related settings, for example hostname, domain setting, and DNS server
settings. BMC supports only three DNS server IP addresses. These IP addresses can be either IPv4 or IPv6.
To set DNS conguration details, use the DNS conguration command. The DNS conguration is buered and applies only after you set a
DNS Restart—parameter #7.
Date and time
BIOS sets the date and time during boot up. Use the iseltime tool that is part of the ipmiutil package. Use the ipmiutil
command only on the local processor. For more information about the ipmiutil command, see ipmiutil package.
Install the ipmiutil package and use the iseltime command.
To override the date and time used in the system event log (SEL) log, use the following command:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool sel time get
08/01/2018 15:10:46
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool sel time set
usage: sel time set "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
root@dellemc-diag-os:~#
For ipmiutil/iseltime, download and install the binaries and documentation from https://sourceforge.net/. Also, various Linux
distributions have binary packages prebuilt and available for download.
For Fedora, to download the utilities, use https://pkgs.org/download/ipmiutil

Event lters
To set the platform event lters, use the raw command format. To congure an entry in the lter table:
# ipmitool raw 0x04 0x12 0x6 0x2 0xc0 0x1 0x2 0x2 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x01 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
Byte 3 (0x60) – event filter table cmd
Byte 4(0x2) – filter number
Byte 5(0xc0) – filter config(enable)
Byte 6(0x1) – action(alert)
Byte 7(0x2) – policy number
Byte 8(0x2) - event severity(information)
Byte 9(0xff) – slave address
Byte 10 (0xff) – channel number(any)
