If a BMC firmware update is needed, you can download it from cisco.com at the Wide Area Application
Service (WAAS) Firmware download page (registered customers only). The firmware binary image is
named waas-bmc-installer-48a-48a-26a-k9.bin.
You can use the following command to update the firmware from the image file that is available through
FTP on your network:
copy ftp install ip-address remotefiledir waas-bmc-installer-48a-48a-26a-k9.bin
The update process automatically checks the health status of the BMC firmware. If BMC firmware
corruption is detected, BMC is recovered during the BMC firmware update procedure. The complete
update process can take several minutes and the device may appear unresponsive but do not interrupt the
process or power cycle the device. After the update is complete, you must reload the device.
After the device reboots, you can verify the firmware version by using the show bmc info command.
BMC recovery and BMC firmware update restores the factory defaults on the BMC and all the current
IPMI over LAN configurations are erased.
If BMC firmware corruption happens, a critical alarm is raised.
Configuring BMC for Remote Platform Management
This section describes the minimum steps needed to enable IPMI over LAN and IPMI SoL to conduct
remote platform management. This section includes the following topics:
• Enabling IPMI Over LAN
• Enabling IPMI SoL
Enabling IPMI Over LAN
To enable IPMI over LAN, perform the following steps using the bmc lan command:
Step 1 Change the default BMC LAN IP address.
Step 2 Change the password for the BMC default user, which is user 2.
Step 3 Enable IPMI over LAN.
Step 4 Access the BMC from a remote client over IPMI session v2.0 using the username and password for the
number 2 user. The default cipher suite used to access the BMC is 3, which specifies
RAKP-HMAC-SHA1 authentication, HMAC-SHA1-96 integrity, and AES-CBC-128 encryption
algorithms.
Step 5 To access the BMC over a IPMI session v1.5, change the user 2 IPMI-session-version setting from v2.0
to v1.5.
