Interaction Edge setup

Establish the IP address of the IPMI
Interaction Edge has an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). This interface enables you to view
statistics, configure IMPI settings, control the power state of the appliance, and remotely use the Interaction
Edge operating system.
To use IPMI, you must connect the
Interaction Edge appliance to one or more networks.
Use a DHCP server to assign the IPMI IP address
By default, the IPMI port is set to obtain an IP address from a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server.
The IPMI cannot obtain the IP address until you connect category 5 or better Ethernet network cables to the
DIAG
and
NIC1
ports on the front of the Interaction Edge appliance and then connect those cables to your
network.
Configure the IPMI IP address settings manually
Note:
If you do not use a DHCP server in your network environment, you must do this procedure to set a
static IP address.
