Managing network settings
The network settings screen lets you review or change the current network settings of the BMC
LAN interface to which you are connected. It also provides you with the MAC address of the BMC
LAN.
The BMC can be configured either to use a dynamic IP address through DHCP, or a specified
static IP address (recommended). For DHCP, click the DHCP enable check box. For a static IP
configuration, populate the three IP fields on this page. You may need to check with your LAN
administrator to verify your settings.
To view or change the network settings:
1 From the BMC Web server main screen, click Network Settings on the left side of the
screen. The Network Settings screen opens with the BMC LAN’s current settings shown.
2 Click the DHCP box.
- OR -
Enter the IP Address (default is 192.168.2.100), the Subnet Mask, and the Gateway. For
information, contact your network administrator.
Note: If the IP address has been changed, or DHCP has been enabled, you will immediately
lose your connection when you click Apply. The next time you log in, you must use the
new IP Address.
