Update IPMI LAN Conguration
This feature allows the user to decide if the BIOS should congure the IPMI setting
at next system boot. The options are No and Yes. If the option is set to Yes, the
user is allowed to congure the IPMI settings at next system boot.
Conguration Source
This feature selects whether the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address
are automatically assigned by the network's DHCP server (Dynamic Host and
Conguration Protocol) "Dynamic" or manually entered by the user "Static". When
Dynamic is selected, all the options below are automatically assigned to the sys-
tem by itself or by an external DHCP server. If Static is selected, the IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway Address must be manually entered below. The options
are Static and DHCP.
Station IP Address - Enter the IP address for this machine. This should be in
decimal and in dotted quad form (i.e., 192.168.10.253). The value of each three-
digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.
Subnet Mask - Subnet masks tell the network which subnet this machine be-
longs to. The value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not
exceed 255.
Station MAC Address - MAC addresses are 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers
(Base 16, 0 ~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) separated by dots (i.e., 00.30.48.D0.D4.60).
Gateway IP Address - Enter the Gateway or Router address (i.e., 192.168.10.1).
