Intel S2600IP Service Guide - Page 153

BIOS Setup Utilities When there is no Management Module installed in the system, or there is an Intel® RMM4-Lite without a DMN installed, the LAN settings specific to the Intel® RMM4 are grayed out and not available. This screen has a choice of IPv4 or IPv6 addressing. When IPv6 is disabled, only the IPv4 addressing options appear. When IPv6 is enabled, the IPv4 options are grayed out and unavailable, and there is an additional section active for IPv6-addressing. This is true for both the Baseboard LAN configuration and the Intel® RMM4 with Dedicated Server Management NIC Module. IP addresses for either IPv4 or IPv6 addressing can be assigned by static IP addresses manually typed in, or by dynamic IP addresses supplied by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. IPv6 addressing can also be provided by "stateless autoconfiguration" which does not require a DHCP server. The BMC LAN Configuration screen is unusual in that the LAN Configuration parameters are maintained by the BMC itself, so this screen is just a User Interface to the BMC configuration. As such, the initial values of the LAN options shown on the screen are acquired from the BMC when this screen is initially accessed by a user,. Any values changed by the user are communicated back to the BMC when a "Save Changes" or "Save Changes and Exit" action is performed. If a "Discard Changes" or "Discard Changes and Exit" action is performed instead, any accumulated changes from this screen will be disregarded and lost. Intel® Server System R2000IP Service Guide 141
