Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPSPlatform Management Overview
Revision 1.1 69
Intel order number G34153-003
 Maximum bandwidth supported by BMC LAN channels are as follows:
 BMC LAN1 (Baseboard NIC port) ----- 100M (10M in DC off state)
 BMC LAN 2 (Baseboard NIC port) ----- 100M (10M in DC off state)
 BMC LAN 3 (Dedicated NIC) ----- 1000M
4.5.3.5 Dedicated Management NIC MAC Address
For EPSD Platforms Based on Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5 4600/2600/2400/1600/1400 Product
Families each server board has either five or seven MAC addresses assigned to it at the Intel
factory. The printed MAC address is assigned to NIC1 on the server board.
If the platform has two NIC built into the main board then there will be five MAC addresses
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
If the platform has four NIC built into the main board then there will be seven MAC addresses
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.
4.5.3.6 IPV6 Support
In addition to IPv4, Intel
®
S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms support 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.
The BMC supports IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously so they are both configured separately and
completely independently. For example, IPv4 can be DHCP configured while IPv6 is statically
configured or vice versa.
4.5.3.6.1 LAN Failover
The BMC FW provides a LAN failover capability such that the failure of the system HW
associated with one LAN link will result in traffic being rerouted to an alternate link. This
functionality is configurable by IPMI methods as well as by the BMC’s Embedded UI, allowing
for user to specify the physical LAN links constitute the redundant network paths or physical
LAN links constitute different network paths. BMC will support only a all or nothing” approach –
that is, all interfaces bonded together, or none are bonded together.
The LAN Failover feature applies only to BMC LAN traffic. It bonds all available Ethernet
devices but only one is active at a time. When enabled, If the active connection’s leash is lost,
one of the secondary connections is automatically configured so that it has the same IP address
