I have a X8DTU-F main board and the current IPMI network configuration is using the onboard Ethernet port 0. How do I switch to the dedicated LAN without powering off the server?
When the IPMI module on the motherboard starts up for the first time, it checks for the network connection over the dedicated IPMI LAN port first and if there is no link then it scans the motherboard LAN port 0 for a link. If you want to switch from onboard Ethernet port 0 to dedicated IPMI port or vice versa you will have to reset the IPMI module and this can be done in the following ways:
a) In the web interface under the maintenance tab there is an option unit reset. Reset the unit.
b) Using ipmicfg(dos/linux) run the command
ipmicfg –r
c) Using ipmitool. Please refer to ipmitool
