Owners Manual

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

The <channel> number refers to the LAN channel, which is 1 in this BMC implementation.

Dell EMC recommends executing the LAN settings command from a system-side machine rather than from a remote machine. To set a

dynamic host conguration 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 www.dell.com/support.

DNS conguration

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 conguration details, use the DNS conguration command. The DNS conguration is buered 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 http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net. Also, various Linux

distributions have binary packages prebuilt and available for download.

For Fedora, to download the utilities, use https://fedora.pkgs.org/26/fedora-x86_64/ipmiutil-3.0.1-2.fc26.x86_64.rpm.html.
