NOTE:
Dell Technologies recommends setting LAN parameters from the host microprocessor. You can run all other
ipmitool options from a remote machine after the BMC has the correct IP address and LAN settings. When running
ipmitool from a remote machine, the command prefix is ipmitool -H <ip address of BMC> -I lanplus -U
<user_name> -P <password> …">.
The <channel> number is the LAN channel, which is 1 in this BMC implementation.
Dell Technologies recommends using the LAN settings command from a system-side machine rather than from a remote
machine. To set a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) IP address, use the following command:
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp
To set a static IP address:
● # ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static
● # ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr <x.x.x.x>
You can also add the BMC IP address from the BIOS. For more information, see the BIOS manual at 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.
To set DNS configuration details, use the DNS configuration command. The DNS configuration is buffered and applies only after
you set a DNS Restart—parameter #7.
Date and time
BIOS sets the date and time during boot up. Use the iseltime tool that is part of the ipmiutil package. Use the
ipmiutil command only on the local processor. For more information about the ipmiutil command, see ipmiutil package.
Install the ipmiutil package and use the iseltime command.
