Configuring DHCP
Note: The IPMI module is set to use the 192.168.1.2 static IPaddress by default. Use the process
below to switch to DHCP instead of the default static IP address. If you want to continue using the
default static IPaddress, proceed to Accessing the IPMIWeb Interface the First Time on the next
page.
1. Use a Cat5e Ethernet cable to connect the IPMI module Ethernet port to a DHCP server.
2. Power on the HDVA3X appliance and press the Delete key when prompted on the black Avigilon
splash screen next to the BIOS option. You will be prompted to enter a password.
3. Enter the unit's serial number as noted earlier in the process. For more information, see Before You

5. Select BMC network configuration and press Enter.
6. On the BMC network configuration page, scroll down to Configuration Address source and change
the option to DynamicBmcDhcp.
7. Navigate to the Save & Exit tab and select Save Changes and Reset by using the arrow keys on the
keyboard, and press Enter.
8. Check the assigned DHCP address via BIOS for the IP address, by navigating to the Server Mgmt tab,
go to the BMC network configuration option and check the IP address on the right of the Station IP
