Default Gateway MAC Address
This edit box allows you to enter the MAC address of the default gateway router. The MAC
address is entered as a series of six pairs of hex digits separated by dashes, such as 00-01-62-d0-
3e-66. Alphabetic hex digits (a-f) can be entered in uppercase or lowercase. This edit box is
disabled by default and is only activated if the check box for Automatically resolve Default
Gateway MAC address is not checked. If the edit box is cleared (no address is supplied), a
message is displayed asking that a valid address be entered. This edit box is disabled if DHCP
is enabled.
Automatically Resolve Default Gateway MAC Address
This check box allows you to specify whether the BMC should automatically attempt to resolve
the MAC address of the default gateway router. This box is checked by default unless the MAC

Address field.

the BMC cannot resolve the address, the screen is redisplayed with the box unchecked and you
are asked to provide the MAC address in the Default Gateway MAC Address field. If the
screen is redisplayed due to a MAC address resolution issue, any user data previously entered,
other than the MAC address information, remains in place.
