Configurations LAN configurations For network settings, see the IPMI Specification v2.0 chapter 23.1 Set LAN Configuration Parameters Command and Table 23-4 LAN Configuration Parameters. In addition to setting IP addresses, use ipmitool to set the network mask, MAC address, default gateway IP and MAC addresses, and so forth. ipmitool commands: root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool lan set 1 usage: lan set LAN set command/parameter options: ipaddr
To set a static IP address: # ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static # ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr You can also add the BMC IP address from the BIOS. For more information, see the BIOS manual at https://www.dell.com/ support. DNS configuration Use these commands to set and get domain name server (DNS)-related settings, for example hostname, domain setting, and DNS server settings. BMC supports only three DNS server IP addresses. These IP addresses can be either IPv4 or IPv6.
For more information, see the IPMI Specification v2.0 chapter 17.7 Event Filter Table and chapter 30.3 Set PEF Configuration Parameters Command. Alert policies and destinations For more information, see the IPMI Specification v2.0 chapter 17.11 Alert Policy Table and chapter 30.3 Set PEF Configuration Parameters Command (parameter 9). LAN destinations BMC supports SNMP alert destinations. These are SNMP traps.
To view the current policy table, use the ipmitool pef policy list command. # ipmitool pef policy list 1 | 1 | disabled | Match-always | 1 | 802.3 LAN | PET | AMI | 0 | 0 | 0.0.0.0 | 00:00:00:00:00:00 2 | 2 | disabled | Match-always | 1 | 802.3 LAN | PET | AMI | 0 | 0 | 0.0.0.0 | 00:00:00:00:00:00 3 | 3 | disabled | Match-always | 1 | 802.3 LAN | PET | AMI | 0 | 0 | 0.0.0.0 | 00:00:00:00:00:00 4 | 4 | disabled | Match-always | 1 | 802.3 LAN | PET | AMI | 0 | 0 | 0.0.0.

Set User Password Command ● Request data byte 1—User ID. For IPMI v20, the BMC supports 20-byte passwords (keys) for all user IDs that have configurable passwords. The BMC maintains an internal tag indicating if the password is set as a 16-byte or 20-byte password. Use a 16-byte password in algorithms that require a 20-byte password. The 16-byte password is padded with 0s to create 20-bytes.

Topics: • • From BMC console DIAG OS power cycle Remote ipmitool DIAG OS power management From BMC console DIAG OS power cycle About this task Steps Run ipmitool from the BMC serial console command prompt. a. Use this command to power cycle a local system. # ipmitool -H 127.0.0.
[610 : 685 INFO]Power Consumption Mode Value Updated (1): Remote ipmitool DIAG OS power management About this task Use ipmitool to reboot and power-off from the BMC serial console command prompt. NOTE: When building the kernel for VEP4600, the kernel flag CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF should be set to n. Having this flag turned on will cause the kernel to send the ipmi command to power down the chassis when the CPU is powered-off. For example, pressing the push button for five seconds will power down the CPU.
