Clear BMC System Event Log

This feature is used to clear the System Event Log. Caution: Any cleared information is unrecoverable. Make absolutely sure you no longer need any data stored in the log before clearing the BMC Event Log.

Set LAN Configuration

Set this feature to configure the IPMI LAN adapter with a network address.

Channel Number - Enter the channel number for the SET LAN Config com- mand. This is initially set to [1]. Press "+" or "-" on your keyboard to change the Channel Number.

Channel Number Status - This feature returns the channel status for the Channel Number selected above: "Channel Number is OK" or "Wrong Channel Number".

IP Address - Enter the IP address for this machine. This should be in decimal and in dotted quad form (i.e., 192.168.10.253). The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.

MAC Address - The BIOS will automatically enter the MAC address of this machine, however it may be over-ridden. MAC addresses are 6 two-digit hexa- decimal numbers (Base 16, 0 ~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots. (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60)

Subnet Mask - Subnet masks tell the network which subnet this machine be- longs to. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.

Set PEF Configuration

Set this feature to configure the Platform Event Filter (PEF). PEF interprets BMC events and performs actions based on pre-determined settings or 'traps' under IPMI

1.5specifications. For example, powering the system down or sending an alert when a triggering event is detected.

The following will appear if PEF Support is set to Enabled. The default is Dis-

abled.

PEF Action Global Control - These are the different actions based on BMC events. The options are Alert, Power Down, Reset System, Power Cycle, OEM Action, Diagnostic Interface.

Alert Startup Delay - This feature inserts a delay during startup for PEF alerts. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

PEF Alert Startup Delay - This sets the pre-determined time to delay PEF alerts after system power-ups and resets. Refer to Table 24.6 of the IPMI 1.5 Specification for more information at www.intel.com. The options are No Delay, 30 sec, 60 sec, 1.5 min, 2.0 min.
