BMC firmware ships with the well known default configuration for the BMC's LAN interface. This information being well know, is a huge vulnerability and the best practice is to change the default configuration as early as possible.

SLX# bmc lan ipsrc static SLX#
You can also choose to use DHCP to configure the IP address for the BMC's LAN interface. In such as case, no additional configuration is required.
Note
Only IPv4 address can be assigned to the BMC's LAN interface.SLX# bmc lan ipaddr 10.10.10.10 SLX#
SLX# bmc lan netmask 255.255.255.0 SLX#
SLX# bmc lan gateway 10.10.10.123 SLX#
This example consolidates the above steps.
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 10.10.10.123 SLX#
