Open the BMC network management page

1. Select System in the left main navigation bar.
2. Select Network in the secondary navigation bar.
3. Select Net Manage at the top of the page.
4. In the network port tabs, select the target NIC, for example Net Port
   or Net Port
   .
5. To modify the configuration, click Setting.

View network port information

Before modifying the configuration, identify the target NIC by port name and MAC address, and record the original network configuration.

Determine whether a NIC allows configuration

• Setting available: the current NIC allows the user to modify its configuration.
• Setting disabled: the current NIC may be a private NIC used for communication between the BMC and sub-boards, a Bond device, or a Bond member, and cannot be configured directly by the user.

Configure IPv4

1. Confirm that the current mode is IPv4 Configuration. IPv6 Configuration and VLAN Configuration are currently unavailable.
2. In IPv4 Mode, select Auto (DHCP) or Manual.
3. When using Manual, enter the Address and Subnet Mask. After a complete address is entered, the page automatically adds a blank row; if a default route is needed, enter the Gateway and Gateway Priority as a pair in the first row. A smaller priority value means higher priority.
4. Enter DNS servers in DNS; separate multiple addresses with commas.
5. To discard the changes, click Cancel.
6. After verifying the parameters, click Confirm.

Configuration rules

Confirm the configuration result

1. Close the settings window and wait for the page to fetch the NIC information again.
2. Select the target Net Port again.
3. Confirm that IPv4 Address, Default Gateway, Gateway Priority, and DNS have been updated.
4. From the corresponding subnet, verify the BMC address connectivity, default route, and domain name resolution.

View BMC NIC information

When no configuration parameters are specified, bmc ethernet returns BMC NIC information.

bmc ethernet --protocol https --ip <BMC_IP> --port <BMC_PORT> --user <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> --core bmc

Use --interface to view a specific NIC.

bmc ethernet --protocol https --ip <BMC_IP> --port <BMC_PORT> --user <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> --core bmc --interface <INTERFACE>

Use DHCP

bmc ethernet --protocol https --ip <BMC_IP> --port <BMC_PORT> --user <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> --core bmc --interface <INTERFACE> --interface-dhcp4=true

Configure static IPv4

The following addresses belong to documentation example subnets and must be replaced with on-site planned values before execution.

bmc ethernet --protocol https --ip <BMC_IP> --port <BMC_PORT> --user <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> --core bmc --interface <INTERFACE> --interface-dhcp4=false --interface-ip 192.0.2.10 --interface-ip-cidr 24 --interface-gateway 192.0.2.1 --interface-gateway-metric 100 --interface-dns 192.0.2.53

The CLI can submit only one static address and one DNS server at a time. To configure multiple addresses or multiple DNS servers for the same NIC, use the WEB or API.

Parameter description

Open Bond Manage

1. Select System in the left main navigation bar.
2. Select Network in the secondary navigation bar.
3. Select Bond Manage at the top of the page.
4. If there are multiple Bond devices, select the target Device.
5. Click Add to add a Bond device.
6. Click Setting to modify the current Bond device.
7. Click remove to delete the current Bond device.

View Bond status

Add a Bond device

1. Enter the Bond device name in Device.
2. In Net card, select at least two available ports. Grayed-out ports cannot join a new Bond at this time.
3. Select the aggregation mode in Mode.
4. In IPv4 Mode, select Auto (DHCP) or Manual.
5. When using Manual, enter the address, subnet mask, gateway, and gateway priority.
6. Fill in DNS as needed; separate multiple addresses with commas.
7. To discard the changes, click Cancel.
8. After checking the configuration, click Add.

Modify or delete a Bond device

When modifying a Bond, the device name cannot be changed; member ports, aggregation mode, and IPv4 parameters can be adjusted. Modify can be submitted only after at least two available member ports are selected.

When deleting a Bond, click remove, check the device name in the confirmation window, and then confirm the deletion. Before deleting, confirm that the Bond does not carry the current management connection or business traffic.

Bond configuration rules

Open VLAN Manage

1. Select System in the left main navigation bar.
2. Select Network in the secondary navigation bar.
3. Select VLAN Manage at the top of the page.
4. If there are multiple VLAN devices, select the target Net Port.
5. Click Add to add a VLAN device.
6. When Setting is available, you can modify the IPv4 configuration of the current VLAN.
7. When remove is available, you can delete the current VLAN.

View VLAN status

Add a VLAN device

1. Enter the VLAN identifier in VLAN ID.
2. Confirm the VLAN device name in Device. After a valid VLAN ID is entered and the input box loses focus, the page automatically generates vlan<VLAN_ID> if the field is empty.
3. Select the underlying port in VLAN Link.
4. In IPv4 Mode, select Auto (DHCP) or Manual.
5. When using Manual, enter the address, subnet mask, gateway, and gateway priority.
6. Fill in DNS as needed; separate multiple addresses with commas.
7. To discard the changes, click Cancel.
8. After checking the configuration, click Add.

Modify or delete a VLAN

• When Setting is available, you can modify the IPv4 mode, address, subnet mask, gateway, gateway priority, and DNS. The VLAN ID, device name, and VLAN Link of an existing VLAN cannot be changed in the modify window.
• When remove is available, click the button and confirm the deletion in the confirmation window.
• When both Setting and remove are disabled, the current VLAN's Oem.Firefly.SettingEnabled is false—for example, an independent private VLAN used for internal system communication. Such VLANs cannot be modified or deleted through the current page.
