Hardware and software support
For the most current BMC update information, see the S5200-ON Series Release Notes.
For more information about the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI), see the IPMI resources that is hosted by Intel
at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/ipmi/ipmi-technical-resources.html.
NOTE: The BMC out-of-band (OOB) network or LAN is not enabled for Trade Agreement Act-qualified (TAA) switches.
The BMC OOB is enabled for non-TAA-qualified switches.
Required drivers
In Linux, the baseboard management controller (BMC) uses the ipmitool open-source tool during testing. To configure or get
data from the BMC, ipmitool sends ipmi commands to the BMC. You must have the IPMI driver installed to use ipmitool.
To access ipmitools, go to https://sourceforge.net, search for ipmitools, then select the See Project button.
NOTE: Although there are newer versions available, the ipmitool and driver versions used during testing the BMC are:
● Linux version: 4.9.30
● ipmitool version: 1.8.18
● ipmi driver that the ipmitool uses is built with kernel 4.9.30.
BMC access
Access BMC through the network interface from a remote machine. Use ipmitool for host and remote access.
● LAN interface—ipmitool is the standard tool to access BMC over the network. A dummy static IP address is
preprogrammed in the BMC. You can change this dummy static IP address of the network interface using ipmitool
from the microprocessor console:
○ # ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr <x.x.x.x>
6 Hardware and software support
Configuration methods
The diagnostic operating software (DIAG OS) running on the local processor has ipmitool installed by default. You can use
the ipmitool both at the switch and remotely.
Accessing BMC from the host does not require user name or password. The general syntax for using ipmitool is:
NOTE: -I and -H are optional.
ipmitool [-c|-h|-v|-V] -I lanplus -H <hostname> [-p <port>]
[-U <username>]
[-L <privlvl>]
[-a|-E|-P|-f <password>]
[-o <oemtype>]
[-O <sel oem>]
[-C <ciphersuite>]
[-Y|[-K|-k <kg_key>]
[-y <hex_kg_key>]
[-e <esc_char>]
[-N <sec>]
[-R <count>]
< command>

For example, to list sensors from the host use the following command from the host:

Configurations
LAN configurations
For network settings, see the IPMI Specification v2.0 chapter 23.1 Set LAN Configuration Parameters Command and Table 23-4
LAN Configuration Parameters.
In addition to setting IP addresses, use ipmitool to set the network mask, MAC address, default gateway IP and MAC
addresses, and so forth.
ipmitool commands:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool lan set 1
usage: lan set <channel> <command> <parameter>
LAN set command/parameter options:
ipaddr <x.x.x.x> Set channel IP address
netmask <x.x.x.x> Set channel IP netmask
macaddr <x:x:x:x:x:x> Set channel MAC address
defgw ipaddr <x.x.x.x> Set default gateway IP address
defgw macaddr <x:x:x:x:x:x> Set default gateway MAC address bakgw
ipaddr <x.x.x.x> Set backup gateway IP address
Configuration methods
9
bakgw macaddr <x:x:x:x:x:x> Set backup gateway MAC address

type = NONE, MD2, MD5, PASSWORD, OEM
ipsrc <source> Set IP Address source
none = unspecified source
static = address manually configured to be static
dhcp = address obtained by BMC running DHCP
bios = address loaded by BIOS or system software
cipher_privs XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Set RMCP+ cipher suite privilege levels
X = Cipher Suite Unused
c = CALLBACK
u = USER

O = OEM bad_pass_thresh <thresh_num> <1|0> <reset_interval> <lockout_interval>
Set bad password threshold
NOTE: Dell Technologies recommends setting LAN parameters from the host microprocessor. You can run all other
ipmitool options from a remote machine after the BMC has the correct IP address and LAN settings. When running
ipmitool from a remote machine, the command prefix is ipmitool -H <ip address of BMC> -I lanplus -U
<user_name> -P <password> …">.
The <channel> number is the LAN channel, which is 1 in this BMC implementation.
Dell Technologies recommends using the LAN settings command from a system-side machine rather than from a remote
machine. To set a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) IP address, use the following command:
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp
To set a static IP address:
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr <x.x.x.x>
You can also add the BMC IP address from the BIOS. For more information, see the BIOS manual at www.dell.com/support.
DNS configuration
Use these commands to set and get domain name server (DNS)-related settings, for example hostname, domain setting, and
DNS server settings. BMC supports only three DNS server IP addresses. These IP addresses can be either IPv4 or IPv6.
To set DNS configuration details, use the DNS configuration command. The DNS configuration is buffered and applies only after
you set a DNS Restart—parameter #7.
Date and time
BIOS sets the date and time during boot up. Use the iseltime tool that is part of the ipmiutil package. Use the
ipmiutil command only on the local processor. For more information about the ipmiutil command, see ipmiutil package.
Install the ipmiutil package and use the iseltime command.

Configuration methods
To override the date and time that is used in the system event log (SEL) log, use the following command:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool sel time get
08/01/2018 15:10:46
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool sel time set
usage: sel time set "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
root@dellemc-diag-os:~#
For ipmiutil/iseltime, download and install the binaries and documentation from https://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net. Also,
various Linux distributions have binary packages prebuilt and available for download.
SNMP and email alerts
Event filters
To set the platform event filters, use the raw command format. To configure an entry in the filter table:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool raw 0x04 0x12 0x6 0x2 0xc0 0x1 0x2 0x2 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0x01 0x0 0x0
0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
Byte 3 (0x60) – event filter table cmd
Byte 4(0x2) – filter number
Byte 5(0xc0) – filter config(enable)
Byte 6(0x1) – action(alert)
Byte 7(0x2) – policy number
Byte 8(0x2) - event severity(information)
Byte 9(0xff) – slave address
Byte 10 (0xff) – channel number(any)
Byte 11(0xff) - sensor number(any)
Byte 12(0x01) – event trigger(threshold)
The entry 2 is changed after the command, as shown:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~#
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool pef filter list

Alert policies and destinations
For more information, see the IPMI Specification v2.0 chapter 17.11 Alert Policy Table and chapter 30.3 Set PEF Configuration
Parameters Command (parameter 9).
LAN destinations
BMC supports SNMP alert destinations. These are SNMP traps. When you set a LAN destination for alerts, the BMC sends an
SNMP trap to the set a destination whenever BMC detects alert conditions. You can setup the SNMP management application
on the destination to receive these SNMP traps; however, setting up the SNMP management station is beyond the scope of
this document.
To view alert destinations, use the ipmitool lan alert print command.
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool lan alert print
Alert Destination : 0
Alert Acknowledge : Unacknowledged
Destination Type : PET Trap
Retry Interval : 0
Number of Retries : 0

Configuration methods
The following output using the ipmitool lan alert print command shows the configuration was successful:
root@dellemc-diag-os:~# ipmitool lan alert print 1 1
Alert Destination : 1
Alert Acknowledge : Unacknowledged
Destination Type : PET Trap
Retry Interval : 0
Number of Retries : 0
Alert Gateway : Default
Alert IP Address : 10.11.227.105
Alert MAC Address : 00:00:00:00:00:00
Alert policy setup
To setup the alert policy, you must use the ipmitool raw command.
To view the current policy table, use the ipmitool pef policy list command.
