2.3.6 Session Support
The BMC supports a maximum of four simultaneous sessions. This is shared across all session-based
channels. The BMC also supports multiple sessions on a given channel.
2.4 BMC in Intel
®
S5500/S3420 server boards
2.4.1 LAN interface
Intel
®
S5500 server boards are embedded with the Integrated BMC. The Integrated BMC implements
both the IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 messaging models. These provide out-of-band local area network
(LAN) communication between BMC and the network.
2.4.2 BMC Embedded LAN Channels
BMC hardware includes two dedicated 10/100 network interfaces:
 Interface 1: This interface is available from the on-board NIC ports in a system, which can be
shared with the host. Only one NIC may be enabled for management traffic at any time.
 Interface 2: This interface is available from Intel
®
RMM3, which is a dedicated management NIC
and not shared with the host.
For these channels, support can be enabled for IPMI-over-LAN and DHCP.
For security reasons, embedded LAN channels have the following default settings:
 IP Address: Static
 All users disabled
IPMI-enabled network interfaces may not be placed on the same subnet. This includes the Intel
®
RMM3’s on-board network interface, and the BMC’s embedded network interfaces.
