Server Boards are shipped with LAN access disabled by default. The auto configuration utility may be used to
automatically configure the following:
•
LAN access set to Always Available.
•
SOL access enabled
•
IP address configuration set to DHCP or Static, based on the operating system.
•
IP address set to match the operating system address.
•
Subnet mask set to match the operating system.
•
Network gateway set to match the operating system.
These are the minimum firmware settings required to permit CLI access to the server.
The auto configuration utility is exclusive to Linux and consists of a package named CLIAUTOCFG-1.0-1.i386.rpm.
This package file contains the bmcconfig and associated files, and is installed using the installme script. A separate set of
driver packages is also installed by the same installme script.
One possible method of installation is to include the files as part of a PXE boot image. When the server is powered on
for the first time, it automatically downloads the operating system. If the bmcconfig and associated script file are built
into the operating system image, they automatically configure the server for command line interface access during the
first boot and subsequent reboots.
