Configuring Eth1 IP settings

Users can enable the Eth1 interface for the baseboard management controller (BMC) network and change the Eth1 IP address and gateway settings on the Network Settings page.

About this task

By default, both Eth0 and Eth1 are connected to the same VM network with label VM Network. Users can configure Eth1 to connect to a different network by completing the following steps:

  1. Edit Lenovo XClarity Integrator VM settings

  2. Select Network adapter 2, and select the target VM network.

  3. Save the settings.

Procedure

  1. Click Network Settings on the left navigation pane, and click IP and DNS Settings tab on the right pane.
  2. On the IP Settings area, select Enable Eth1 to enable Eth1. The IP setting fields are displayed.
  3. Specify the IPv4 address, IPv6 address or both for the Eth1 interface.
    Note
    The IP addresses that are assigned to the Eth1 interface must be in a different subnet from the IP addresses that are assigned to the Eth0 interface. To use DHCP to assign IP addresses for both interfaces (Eth0 and Eth1), the DHCP server must not assign the same subnet for the IP addresses of the two interfaces.

    For IPv4, users can use a statically assigned IP address, obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, or disable IPv4

    For IPv6, users can assign an IPv6 address to the interface using one of the following assignment methods:

    • Use a statically assigned IP address

    • Use a stateful address configuration (DHCPv6)

    • Use a stateless address auto configuration

  4. Click Save.
