4.5 Configuring the Server Management NIC using the Intel
®
System
Configuration Utility (SysConfig)
This section describes the basic commands needed to configure the RMM4 using SysConfig
commands. This utility is supported in EFI, Linux*, and Microsoft Windows*. The commands
are the same for all versions. At a minimum, you need to configure the following settings:
• Enable one user
• Enable user’s privilege level
• Set users and passwords
• IP source (static or DHCP)
• IP Address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway (only required if you will be connecting from client outside of subnet)
• Enable text-based console redirection (Serial Over LAN – SOL) if needed
Note: The examples in the following sections use the Intel
®
Dedicated Server Management NIC
LAN channel 3. If you are not using the Intel
®
Dedicated Server Management NIC, substitute
the appropriate channel number. For NIC1 it will be channel 1. For NIC2 it will be channel 2.

2. Enable the BMC user 2 on LAN channel 3 by typing:
syscfg /ue 2 enable 3
3. Enable the “admin” privilege and payload type to “SOL+KVM” for the BMC user 2 on
LAN channel 3 by typing:
syscfg /up 2 3 admin sol+kvm
