bmc lan ipsrc

Configures how an IPv4 address is assigned to a BMC's ethernet interface. IPv4 address can be assigned dynamically using DHCP or manually configured.

Syntax

bmc lan ipsrc [ dhcp | static ]

Command Default

None

Parameters

dhcp

Use DHCP for assigning IP address to the BMC's ethernet interface.

static

Use manually assigned IP address for the BMC's ethernet interface.

Modes

Privileged EXEC Mode

Usage Guidelines

To manually assign IP, first ipsrc should be set to static and the assign the ipaddr/netmask/gateway.

Configure the static IP address for the ethernet interface when the ipsrc is set as static. If the ipsrc is dhcp, configuring IP address with this command will not produce any warning/error, nor the IP is set.

The BMC configuration commands may take between 9 to 70 seconds to complete.

IPv6 addresses cannot be assigned.

Examples

The following example configures DHCP as the method for assigning IP address to the BMC's ethernet interface.

SLX# bmc lan ipsrc dhcp
SLX# 

The following example sets the IP address as manually configured and then configures it.

SLX# bmc lan ipsrc static
SLX# bmc lan ipaddr 10.10.10.10
SLX# bmc lan netmask 255.255.255.0
SLX# BMC lan gateway 10.10.10.125
SLX#
