Technical Product Specification

Intel® Server Board S1400FP TPS Platform Management Functional Overview
Revision 2.0 Intel order number G64246-003 65
MAC addresses are assigned for management NICs from a pool of up to 3 MAC addresses
allocated specifically for manageability.
The Intel
®
Server Board S1400FP4 has seven MAC addresses programmed at the factory. MAC
addresses are assigned as follows:
 NIC 1 MAC address (for OS usage)
 NIC 2 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 1 (for OS usage)
 NIC 3 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 2 (for OS usage)
 NIC 4 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 3 (for OS usage)
 BMC LAN channel 1 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 4
 BMC LAN channel 2 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 5
 BMC LAN channel 3 (RMM) MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 6
The Intel
®
Server Board S1400FP2 has five MAC addresses programmed at the factory. MAC
addresses are assigned as follows:
 NIC 1 MAC address (for OS usage)
 NIC 2 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 1 (for OS usage)
 BMC LAN channel 1 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 2
 BMC LAN channel 2 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 3
 BMC LAN channel 3 (RMM) MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 4
The printed MAC address on the server board and/or server system is assigned to NIC1 on the
server board.
For security reasons, embedded LAN channels have the following default settings:
 IP Address: Static
 All users disabled
IPMI-enabled network interfaces may not be placed on the same subnet. This includes the
Intel
®
Dedicated Server Management NIC and either of the BMC’s embedded network
interfaces.
Host-BMC communication over the same physical LAN connection – also known as “loopback”
– is not supported. This includes “ping” operations.
On server boards with more than two onboard NIC ports, only the first two ports can be used as
BMC LAN channels. The remaining ports have no BMC connectivity.
Maximum bandwidth supported by BMC LAN channels are as follows:
BMC LAN1 (Baseboard NIC port) ----- 100Mb (10Mb in DC off state)
BMC LAN 2 (Baseboard NIC port) ----- 100Mb (10Mb in DC off state)
BMC LAN 3 (Dedicated NIC) ----- 1000Mb
6.12.3.3 IPv6 Support
In addition to IPv4, the server board has support for IPv6 for manageability channels.
Configuration of IPv6 is provided by extensions to the IPMI Set and Get LAN Configuration
Parameters commands as well as through a Web Console IPv6 configuration web page.
