Network interface settings

1 After booting up, go to BMC console to check the network interface settings.

ifconfig

ping xxx.xx.xxx.xxx

Congure BMC network manually

1 To congure BMC network manually.

Log into BMC/IPMI console with sysadmin/superuser credential, and edit the /etc/network/interfaces le 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

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

congured and every time you reboot BMC, it fetches the information from BIOS conguration and refreshes the interfaces le.
