Configuring the LAN interface of the iRMC S2/S3

3.1.1.2

Interaction between the IP addresses of the iRMC S2/S3 and the 
system

The LAN controller of the PRIMERGY server requires a separate IP address for 
the iRMC S2/S3 in order to ensure that data packets are reliably transferred to 
the iRMC S2/S3 (and not to the operating system).

The IP address of the iRMC S2/S3 must be different from that of the system 
(operating system).

3.1.1.3

Access from a different subnet

If the remote workstation accesses the iRMC S2/S3 of the managed server from 
a different subnet and DHCP is not used, you must configure the gateway.

3.1.2

Configuring the LAN interface: Configuration tools

You can configure the iRMC S2/S3’s LAN interface in a number of ways: 

Depending on the type of the PRIMERGY server 

–

using the BIOS / TrustedCore / UEFI setup utility (see 

page 44

),

–

iRMC S2/S3 web interface (see 

section "Network Settings - Configure the 

LAN parameters" on page 238

),

–

using the Server Configuration Manager (see 

chapter "Configuring 

iRMC S2/S3 using the Server Configuration Manager" on page 347

).
