two-digit hexadecimal numbers.
Gateway IP Address

VLAN
This feature is congurable if the Update IPMI LAN Conguration feature is set to Yes.
Use this feature to enable or disable the IPMI VLAN function. The options are Disable
and Enable.
IPMI Extended Instruction
Use this feature to enable IPMI extended function support. The options are Enabled and
Disabled. When Disabled, the system powers on quickly by removing BIOS support for
extended IPMI features. The Disable option is for applications that require faster power on
time without using Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) or extended IPMI features. The BMC
network conguration in the BIOS setup will also be invalid when IPMI Extended Instruction
is disabled. The general BMC function and motherboard health monitor such as fan control
will still function even when this option is disabled.
