Configuring Network Settings with IPMI commands

Use the information in this topic to configure the network settings using IPMI commands.

Because each BMC network setting is configured using separate IPMI requests and in no particular order, the BMC does not have the complete view of all of the network settings until the BMC is restarted to apply the pending network changes. The request to change a network setting may succeed at the time that the request is made, but later be determined to be invalid when additional changes are requested. If the pending network settings are incompatible when the BMC is restarted, the new settings will not be applied. After restarting the BMC, you should attempt to access the BMC using the new settings to ensure that they have been applied as expected.
