2 Hardware and software support For the most current BMC update information, see the S5200-ON Series Release Notes. For more information about the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI), see the IPMI resources that is hosted by Intel at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/ipmi/ipmi-technical-resources.html. NOTE: The BMC out-of-band (OOB) network or LAN is not enabled for Trade Agreement Act-qualified (TAA) switches. The BMC OOB is enabled for non-TAA-qualified switches. Required drivers In Linux, the baseboard management controller (BMC) uses the ipmitool open-source tool during testing. To configure or get data from the BMC, ipmitool sends ipmi commands to the BMC. You must have the IPMI driver installed to use ipmitool. To access ipmitools, go to https://sourceforge.net, search for ipmitools, then select the See Project button. NOTE: Although there are newer versions available, the ipmitool and driver versions used during testing the BMC are: ● Linux version: 4.9.30 ● ipmitool version: 1.8.18 ● ipmi driver that the ipmitool uses is built with kernel 4.9.30. BMC access Access BMC through the network interface from a remote machine. Use ipmitool for host and remote access. ● LAN interface-ipmitool is the standard tool to access BMC over the network. A dummy static IP address is preprogrammed in the BMC. You can change this dummy static IP address of the network interface using ipmitool from the microprocessor console: ○ # ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr 6 Hardware and software support

The BMC OOB is enabled for non-TAA-qualified switches.
Required drivers
In Linux, the baseboard management controller (BMC) uses the
ipmitool
open-source tool during testing. To configure or get
data from the BMC,
ipmitool
sends
ipmi
commands to the BMC. You must have the IPMI driver installed to use
ipmitool
.
To access
ipmitools
, go to
https://sourceforge.net
, search for
ipmitools
, then select the
See Project
button.
NOTE:
Although there are newer versions available, the
ipmitool
and driver versions used during testing the BMC are:
●
Linux version: 4.9.30
●
ipmitool
version: 1.8.18
●
ipmi
driver that the
ipmitool
uses is built with kernel 4.9.30.
BMC access
Access BMC through the network interface from a remote machine. Use
ipmitool
for host and remote access.
●
LAN interface—
ipmitool
is the standard tool to access BMC over the network. A dummy static IP address is
preprogrammed in the BMC. You can change this dummy static IP address of the network interface using
ipmitool
from the microprocessor console:
○
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr <
