Server management laptop) that is connected to the serial port on the server. The serial port can be controlled by the server or shared between the server and the BMC (the default setting). To configure the BMC through the Setup Utility: 1. In the IPMI submenu, set the Serial port Assignment field to System or BMC. 2. In the LAN Settings field under the IPMI submenu, set the IP address, default gateway, and IP subnet mask for the BMC. You can set the addresses manually or use DHCP to set the addresses automatically. 3. Also in the LAN Settings field, set the LAN Controller field to select which connection the BMC uses for the IPMI LAN interface. To configure the BMC through the serial port: 1. Connect another system (such as a laptop) to the serial port on the server. 2. Configure your terminal session with the following settings: ○ Bits per second: 9600 ○ Data bits: 8 ○ Parity: None ○ Stop bits: 1 ○ Flow control: None 3. Press Esc+( to switch serial connector from system to BMC; press Esc+Q to switch serial connector from BMC to system. 4. Start your terminal session. 5. Press Enter to bring up a prompt. 6. If the first prompt is for a password, press Enter again. 7. At the Login prompt, type your user name and press Enter. The default user name is admin. 8. At the Password prompt, type your password and press Enter. The default password is admin. The message CLP Session Initiated displays. 9. At the prompt, type cd map1/nic1 to navigate to the correct directory. The command line interface is SMASH-compliant. 10. Type show to display the current settings. 11. Modify the settings you want to change. NOTE: The set variables are case-sensitive. For example, by default, the BMC is set to use DHCP to get the IP address. To manually set the IP address, type set oemhp_dhcp_enable=FALSE to disable DHCP, then type set networkaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to set the IP address you want. To revert to using DHCP to set the IP address, type set oemhp_dhcp_enable=TRUE to enable DHCP. The system takes a few seconds to set the new IP address. 12. Open a browser and enter the IP address that you set manually or that was set automatically using DHCP. 13. When prompted, enter the same user name and password you used in your terminal session. 44
