22 Configuring Your Network

Enable IPMI over LAN:

Determine the channel number for IPMI over LAN. Beginning

with channel 1, run the following command until you find the channel

that displays the required LAN attributes, such as the IP address:

# ipmitool lan print 1

. . .

IP Address Source : 0x01

IP Address : 140.87.155.89

. . .

Turn on LAN access for the channel found. For example,

where the channel is 1:

# ipmitool lan set 1 access on

Configure IP address settings for IPMI using one of the following

procedures:

• Using dynamic IP addressing—Dynamic IP addressing is the default

assumed by Oracle Universal Installer. It is recommended that you

select this option so that nodes can be added or removed from the

cluster more easily, as address settings can be assigned automatically.

For example, if the channel is 1, then enter the following command

to enable DHCP and set the channel:

# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp

NOTE: Use of DHCP requires a DHCP server on the subnet.

• Using static IP addressing—If the BMC shares a network connection

with the operating system, then the IP address must be on the same

subnet. You must set not only the IP address, but also the proper

values for netmask, and the default gateway. For example, assuming

the channel is 1:

# ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr 192.168.0.55

# ipmitool lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0

# ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr 192.168.0.1

The address specified in the example(192.168.0.55) is associated only

with the BMC, and does not respond to normal pings.
