No, you don't do anything to the MAC addresses on the BMC/IPMI. They already have their own preset values. You decide which port you want to use for IPMI from the ones it supports and set it up with various commands (or use the BIOS/UEFI). The gist of what you are doing is just setting up an IP address on an embedded computer. It just so happens that that embedded computer can simultaneously communicate over the same ports as the host computer and may also/instead have its own dedicated port. If you give ipmitool an incomplete command it will print out the list of further options. ipmitool lan set (prints a list of sub-sub-command options) For a static IP on the second port you'd use lan set 2 ipaddr 10.0.0.15 (whatever your desired IP is) lan set 2 netmask 255.255.255.0 (or whatever your matching netmask should be) lan set 2 defgw ipaddr 10.0.0.1 (or whatever your gateway is) If you want to use DHCP then find the MAC with lan print 2 (or whichever channel/port number you are setting up) Then set that MAC up in the DHCP server and set the BMC to pull DHCP with lan set 2 ipsrc dhcp _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
