aggregation team, the BMC management traffic will not function properly. For more information about
network teaming, see the documentation for the network interface controller.
Configuring Your BMC with the Deployment Toolkit
Version 1.3 BMCCFG.EXE Utility
The Dell OpenManage™ Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of DOS-based utilities for
configuring and deploying Dell PowerEdge systems. The DTK BMCCFG.EXE utility is specifically
designed to address all necessary BMC configuration tasks using a powerful and comprehensive
command-line interface. This utility runs on Dell PowerEdge 1425SC and all supported Dell
PowerEdge
x 8 xx systems. The BMCCFG.EXE utility is not supported on PowerEdge x 7 xx or earlier
systems.
To use the BMC Management Utility, you must configure your managed system with the
BMCCFG.EXE utility. Perform the following tasks:
• Install the Deployment Toolkit Version 1.3.
• Create either a BMC configuration diskette or CD containing a DOS-bootable image, the
appropriate CD drivers (for a CD only), and the BMCCFG.EXE utility.
• Configure BMC Users.
• Configure BMC SOL access.
• Configure BMC IPMI serial access.
MAC Address Displays the network controller’s BMC MAC address.
Reset BMC settings to default Clears the BMC settings and resets the BMC setting to the defaults.
Hostname Specifies the managed system hostname used to correlate BMC events
to the system on which they originate.
NOTE: This option is not available in Dell PowerEdge 1855.
VLAN Enables and configures a virtual LAN (VLAN) in which the BMC
resides.
