Extended Configurations
The following tables include the Extended Configuration IDs and
commands.
In the R/W column:
• R = Read
• W = Write
• R/W = Read/Write
NOTE: The strings in the table below are in P-String format. P-Strings are preceded
by a length identifier.
Table 1-50. Configuration ID = 02h, NIC
Attribute ID Size Description R/W
NicSelection 1 1 Specifies the current mode of operation for the
BMC network interface.
• 0: Shared NIC (default)
• 1: Dedicated NIC
R/W
SharedNICSelec
tion
2 1 Valid only when the Attribute ID 1 NICSelection
parameter is set to 0h.
• 0h: Reserved (Recommend to set to 0h when
NICSelection is set to Dedicated NIC.)
• 1h: NIC-1 (default)
• 2h: NIC-2
• 3h: NIC-3
• 4h: NIC-4
NOTE: According to DCS I/O guide line, RJ45
connectors should be labeled starting from NIC-1. It
also requires that Dedicated BMC NIC should
always be the largest number (last port number).
Therefore this Attribute ID parameter only requires
supporting the available Shared NIC numbers
according to the labeled numbers, regardless of the
NC-SI topology (i.e. Single Channel Dual Package or
Dual Channel Single Package). When user attempts
to set to a NIC value that is not supported on the
platform, a completion code CCh should be returned
to indicate an invalid data.
