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

Callback User ID 4

User. User ID 5

Their default passwords are same with the user name.

Users can change M3291/3295 username and password as they want. But Tyan utility only support user password changing.

4.3- Open Sourced IPMI Software

1. IPMITOOL

IPMITOOL is an open source IPMI software(http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net) . It supports Linux and Solaris. Users can use it to view most of IPMI jobs remotely. Detail please refer to ipmitool man page: http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/manpage.html . IPMITool 1.8.2 have some issue and only partly work on M3291/3295. Please use the latest code from CVS server.

Following are some examples.
