IPMI command cheat sheet

This document is intended to provide a set of IPMI commands for quick reference.

Note: If the ipmitool is on the BMC then set the interface as "-I dbus" and if the ipmitool is outside the BMC (i.e on the network) then set the interface as "-I lanplus".

Network Configuration

Set the interface mode

ipmitool lan set ipsrc static

Set the IP Address

ipmitool lan set ipaddr

Set the network mask

ipmitool lan set netmask

Set the default gateway

ipmitool lan set defgw ipaddr

Set the VLAN

ipmitool lan set vlan id

Delete the VLAN

ipmitool lan set vlan id off

NOTE: The user can group multiple set operations since the IPMI daemon waits for 10 seconds after each set operation before applying the configuration.
