7. BMC Setting (Administrator only)

Figure 7-1

Clicking on the BMC Setting tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (as

shown in Figure 7-1) gives you detailed information on the BMC LAN Configuration, SNMP trap

configuration and serial communication port of the BMC.

In order to support the power-down state management capability under the IPMI specification, the

manager has to configure the proper MAC address for each IP address. To deliver an IP packet to a

receiver, the sender needs to know the receiver’s MAC address or the gateway’s MAC address. ARP

(Address Resolution Protocol) is used to get the MAC address from the IP address. While the managed

system’s OS is running, the network protocol stack will take care of this function. However, when the

managed system is in a power down state, this function cannot be accomplished. Therefore, each MAC

address has to be configured manually.

The BMC and the OS running on a managed system may use different IP addresses for security reasons.

For example, the OS may use 66.201.4.73 (which can be reached by public access) while the address for

BMC may be set to 192.168.1.55, which can only be reached in a private LAN. But, LAN MAC

addresses must be the exact same. If the BMC uses a private IP address, you have to make sure that the

manager’s system can communicate with the private IP address for the BMC on a managed system.

• BMC LAN Configuration

This shows the IP address, LAN MAC, Gateway IP, Gateway MAC and Subnet Mask of the BMC and

allows you to modify them. NOTE: please make sure that the MAC address of the LAN and the gateway

for the BMC are correct before updating it by clicking the Update button. Be careful to enter the correct
