2.2.5 Reset IPMI Network Configuration
The ipmitool utility can also change or reset the network configuration of the IPMI interface if it cannot be reached
over the network.
These commands may be performed in the GUI at Diagnostics > Command Prompt or at a console or SSH shell
prompt as the root user.
Note: The dedicated IPMI port (P11) is on IPMI network channel 2.
• Load the IPMI kernel module
# kldload ipmi
• Set the IPMI IP address and subnet mask
The following commands configure the IP address of the IPMI interface and its corresponding subnet mask in
dotted quad notation.
This example sets the IPMI IP address to 172.31.123.5/24:
# ipmitool lan set 2 ipaddr 172.31.123.5
# ipmitool lan set 2 netmask 255.255.255.0
• Set the IPMI gateway IP address
To communicate with IPMI outside of its configured subnet, the IPMI interface must have a default gateway set.
This example sets the default gateway to 172.31.123.1.
# ipmitool lan set 2 defgw ipaddr 172.31.123.1
• Enable IPMI access on the interface
# ipmitool lan set 2 access on
• Unload the IPMI kernel module
# kldunload ipmi
2.2.6 Re-arm the Chassis Intrusion Switch
The chassis on Netgate 8300 has an intrusion detection function which can be reset via IPMI. See Re-arm the Chassis
Intrusion Switch for details.
