Configuring the baseboard management controller LAN connection To configure the baseboard management controller local area network (LAN) connection options for the server, use the LAN configuration utility (lancfg.exe). This utility is on the baseboard management controller firmware update diskette. You can start the LAN configuration utility after you update the baseboard management controller firmware. See "Using the baseboard management controller firmware update program" on page 14 for instructions for downloading and updating the baseboard management controller firmware. To configure the baseboard management controller LAN connection by using the LAN configuration utility, complete the following steps. Note: You must run the LAN configuration utility (lancfg.exe) in a DOS command-line session after you start the server from the startable baseboard management controller firmware update diskette. Do not run the utility from a DOS window. 1. After the baseboard management controller firmware update is completed, a command prompt is displayed. Type lancfg and press Enter. The LAN configuration utility starts, and the BMC Information screen is displayed. The default values that are displayed are read-only. You cannot make changes in this screen.
