Configure BMC LAN Channel 3’s IP address (DHCP or static IP)
The web server is available on all enabled LAN channels. If a LAN channel is enabled, properly
configured, and accessible, the web server is available.
For security reasons, the null user (user 1) may not be used to access the web server. The session
inactivity timeout for the embedded web server is 30 minutes. This is not user-configurable.
For detailed information on how to configure and use Intel
®
RMM4 and Intel
®
RMM4 Lite, refer to the
Intel
®
Remote Management Module 4 User Guide.
2.5.11 Access BMC through Intel
®
RMM4
The Intel
®
RMM4 is IPMI V2.0 Compliant. It allows the customer to remote access BMC through
Intel
®
RMM4’s dedicated LAN channel (LAN channel 3).
The customer can send IPMI commands through the dedicated NIC on the Intel
®
RMM4.
Intel
®
RMM4 also supports SOL over this channel. The customer can activate SOL session
through the dedicated NIC on the Intel
®
RMM4.
In order to access BMC through Intel
®
RMM4 Lite and RMM4, you must configure Intel
®
RMM4’s IP
address and associate BMC user ID to BMC LAN channel 1 or LAN channel 3.

2.6.1 LAN interface
Intel
®
S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 server platforms embedded with the Integrated BMC and also
support add-on Intel
®
RMM4 management card. The Integrated BMC and Intel
®
RMM4 implement
both the IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 messaging models. These provide out-of-band local area network
(LAN) communication between BMC and external network.
2.6.2 BMC Embedded LAN Channels
BMC hardware includes three dedicated network interfaces. Two ports are used for communication
with the on-board NICs and one is used for communication with an Ethernet PHY located on an
optional add-in card (or equivalent on-board circuitry).
Provided the HW supports a management link between the BMC and a NIC port, the BMC FW
supports concurrent OOB LAN management sessions for the following combination:
on-board NIC ports
2 on-board NICs and optional dedicated add-in management NIC.
All NIC ports must be on different subnets for the above concurrent usage models.
