Using the LAN configuration utility
Complete the following steps to configure the baseboard management controller LAN connection using
the LAN configuration utility.
Note: You must run the LAN configuration utility (lancfg.exe) in a DOS session after you start your
server from the startable baseboard management controller firmware update diskette. Do not run
the utility from a DOS window.
1. After the baseboard management controller firmware update is completed, a command prompt is
displayed. Type lancfg and press Enter. The LAN configuration utility starts and the BMC
Information screen is displayed. The default values that are displayed are read-only. You cannot make
changes in this screen.
To use the LAN configuration utility, press F10 and use the arrow keys to select the menu items at the
top of the window.
2. Select LanCfg. The LAN Configuration screen is displayed. Type the values for the baseboard
management controller in the fields and select OK.
Note: The Host MAC Address field is read-only and cannot be changed from the LAN configuration
utility.
3. Select Alert. The Alert Setting screen is displayed. Type the applicable values for your server in the
fields and select OK.
Note: In the IP Address field, type the IP address of the workstation to which the baseboard
management controller will forward alerts.
4. Select Security. The Security Setting screen is displayed. You can maintain the four baseboard
management controller user accounts on this screen. To make changes on this screen, select Edit, type
your changes in the Edit screen, and select OK.
5. After you make all the changes and before you exit the LAN configuration utility, remove the
firmware update diskette from the diskette drive.
