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 Configuration command. It is initially set to [1].

Channel Number Status

This feature displays the channel status for the Channel Number selected above: "Channel Number is OK".

IP Address Configuration

This submenu displays the following IP Address Configuration information.

Parameter Selector

This item displays the parameter of your IP Address configuration.

IP Address Source

This feature allows the user to determine how an IP address is assigned to this device. Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to allow this device to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, which manages a pool of IP ad- dresses and network information on a "request and grant" basis. Upon timeout (or lease expiration), the IP address assigned to the client can be re-assigned to a new client. Select Static (Static Allocation) to manually enter an IP address from a specific range of addresses (usually assigned by a network administra- tor). A client with an IP Address that falls into this specific range of addresses will be allowed to access the network. A static IP Address assigned to a device is retained until a different address is manually reassigned to it. The options are DHCP and Static.

IP Address

This item displays the IP address of this computer. IP addresses are four three-digit decimal numbers, from 0 to 255, separated by dots. For example, 192.168.10.100.

Current IP Address in BMC

This item displays the current IP address used for your IPMI connection.

MAC Address Configuration

This submenu displays the following MAC Address Configuration information.
