Configuring SLX-OS to Enable BMC

Before you can control your devices using IPMI, you must prepare your devices to accept control over out-of-band management interfaces.

By default, BMC management interface is disabled in SLX-OS. It must be enabled manually and the interface configured for enabling out-of-band access.

To enable your device to be accessible from out-of-band management interfaces, the following activities must be performed:

• The BMC interface must be enabled
• The BMC interface must be configured with either DHCP or static IP address
• The User Account used to access the device through IPMI, qct.admin with BMC internal User ID 2, must be configured and its password changed. Only this user account is supported.
