6.13.2 Setting up the Ethernet Channel
There are two methods to prepare the MMC’s SOL and IOL LAN parameters for the two
possible Ethernet channels:
• During the BIOS setup
• By use of the open tool ‘ipmitool’ or IPMI commands
The setup methods are compatible, i.e. both methods show the parameters which are set by
the other one.
The setup is separate for both channels. When the MAC addresses are set the ones which are
programmed into the hardware must be re-used. This is a restriction. The IP addresses of a
channel being used by ‘normal’ payload traffic and IOL/SOL traffic may differ but need not
differ as long as the RMCP port 623 is not used in parallel by payload and IOL/SOL.
6.13.2.1 Setup by BIOS Menu
The BIOS setup menu “Advanced>IPMI 1.5 Configuration>Set LAN Configuration” offers
the setting of some LAN parameters for both channels (1, 2). After this setup IOL is not yet
ready for use. Refer to 6.13.2.2, Setup by ipmitool or IPMI Commands.
6.13.2.2 Setup by ipmitool or IPMI Commands
The open tool ipmitool offers commands for the setup of the two Ethernet channels. All
possible options are shown by issuing
ipmitool lan set
If ipmitool is not usable, the LAN parameters can be set by using the generic IPMI commands
which are defined for this, e.g. by ipmicmd.
To show the current LAN parameters for a channel, ipmitool offers the command
ipmitool lan print
6.13.3 Setup of User and Password
The open tool ipmitool offers commands for the listing and manipulation of user accounts for
channel 1 and 2. An overview can be obtained by putting in
ipmitool user
The predefined users for a channel can be listed by the command
ipmitool user list .
The AM5010 has for every channel these predefinitions in non-volatile memory:
ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit
1 false true true USER
2 admin false true true ADMINISTRATOR
Please note that admin’s password is preset with ‘kontron’.
Changed users and passwords stay valid after payload power off.
The user must be activated by:
ipmitool user enable
