Intel Centrino Pro, vPro Select an IP Addressing Scheme, Set Additional Intel MEBx Parameters

Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide

•Contain both upper and lower case Latin characters

•Have at least one numeric character

•Have at least one ASCII non-alphanumeric character (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *)

Step 4d: Select an IP Addressing Scheme

SMB mode supports both Static IP and Dynamic Host Protocol Configuration (DHCP). DHCP is the most commonly used scheme today and provides the easiest integration with Intel AMT. If DHCP is your choice, simply ensure that the DHCP value is set properly in the MEBx (“DHCP Disabled? No”).

If you choose static IP addressing, the Intel AMT client must have two IP addresses, one for the host OS and one for the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME). Static IP addressing also requires a separate host (computer) name for the host OS and the Intel ME. To select static IP addressing, select “DHCP Disabled? Yes.” You’ll then be prompted to enter the IP information including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and primary and secondary DNS server.

A host name must be entered into the Intel MEBx whether you choose static IP or DHCP within SMB mode. It is not necessary to enter the Domain name into the Intel MEBx for SMB mode.

Step 4e: Set Additional Intel MEBx Parameters

There are a number of parameters that you can change in the Intel MEBx. All fields have a default setting that may vary slightly depending on the system’s manufacturer. However, you’ll need to pay particular attention to the following settings for SMB mode.

Setting

Intel AMT Configuration Mode

Configuration Server Options

Intel AMT Hostname

Intel AMT Domain Name

DHCP Enabled

Description or value

Set to SMB

Not needed because these apply only to enterprise mode

In SMB mode this is required. If you use DHCP, this must match computer name in the host OS. If you use static IP addressing, this name must be unique from the computer name in the host OS.

This will match the Domain Name in the Host OS

DHCP is recommended, but in SMB, both DHCP and Static IP addressing are supported

Refer to documentation provided by your hardware manufacturer to determine which settings you need to change.
