1. LAN Configuration
1) IP Address
Users can set M3291 IP Address as they want. M3291 share the LAN port with system
OS. But IP address on M3291 can be either same or different with system IP address.
Following is the instruction about how to set IP with Tyan utilities.
"uh8d /ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
"./uh8l –I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
"uh8w /ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
2) MAC Address
Normally user need not set MAC address, but users need check if the MAC address is
right.
For Intel 82551 and 82546 NIC, M3291 use the same MAC address with system OS.
Tyan IPMI enabled BIOS will load it automatically. If not, user can set it manually
For Broadcom 5704 and 5721 NIC, M3291 use the different MAC address with system
OS. Every M3291 will be assigned one unique MAC when production. When users flash
firmware, parameter "imac" will load this MAC from M3291 and write to LAN
Configuration.
3) Net Mask, Gateway and Broadcast ARP
Users need check if these parameter are correct.
If use Intel 82551 and 82546 as IPMI NIC, Broadcast ARP must be enabled
4) DHCP
Due to NIC hardware limitation, not all the IPMI NIC support DHCP. Right now, only
Broadcom 5704 and 5721 support DHCP.
5) Broadcom NIC 2
On Broadcom NIC, M3291 use the 2
different MAC with system OS. You can take them as different logical entity, they use
different MAC, different IP. But they share the same physical port.
