Tyan Computer M3295, M3291 warranty Open Sourced Ipmi Software, Broadcom NIC 2nd MAC mode

Page 24

Due to NIC hardware limitation, not all the IPMI NIC support DHCP. Right now, only Broadcom, Intel 54x/56x/57x and M3995 dedicated LAN support DHCP.

5)Broadcom NIC 2nd MAC mode

On Broadcom NIC, M3291 use the 2nd MAC address mode. It’s to say, M3291 use different MAC with system OS. You can take them as different logical entity, they use different MAC, different IP. But they share the same physical port.

2.User Password Setting M3291/3295 default supports 5 users:

NULL User ID 1, user name is empty

Operator User ID 2

Admin User ID 3
