There are four network modes that can be configured on this interface: Unspecified, Static, Dynamic BMC
DHCP, and Dynamic BMC Non DHCP. Static is in static mode. You can set the IP address manually. DHCP is
dynamic mode. Setting this option allows the BMC to automatically obtain the IP address from the DHCP
server.
6.3.4 IPMI interface configuration static mode
If you choose to configure Static mode for the IPMI interface, you should pay attention to the following
issues:
(1) If there are multiple IPMI devices in your LAN, you should be aware that the IP addresses between
the devices cannot be duplicated. Otherwise, communication cannot be established.
(2) If the IP of your IPMI device is an intranet address, the terminal device that communicates with it must
be on the same network segment as the IPMI device's address.
(3) The IP address of the IPMI device can be mapped to the WAN through a routing device to implement
remote management.
(4) The IPMI port has the function of obtaining an IP address through DHCP.
(5) IPMI supports both TCP/IP v4 and TCP/IP v6.
Configure the IP address and subnet mask according to your actual situation. For example, here we set
the IP address to 192.168.0.236 and set the subnet mask to 255.255.252.0, as shown in Figure 2-8 below.
After setting, press F4 to save and exit the BIOS interface.
