m Host IP Address
This edit box is for the logical or Internet address of the host. The IP address is required when
DHCP is disabled. The IP address is entered as a dotted notation, such as 192.168.0.2.
Subnet Mask
The edit box is for the host's subnet mask. The system uses this to decide if alert destinations are in
the local subnet or in another subnet relative to the client console. The Subnet Mask is entered as a
dotted notation, such as 255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway IP Address
This edit box is for the IP address of the router used when the BMC sends a message or an alert to
a system on a different subnet than the BMC is on. The IP address is entered as a dotted notation,
such as 192.168.0.2.
Default Gateway MAC Address
This edit box allows you to enter the MAC address of the default gateway router. The MAC address
is entered as a series of six pairs of hex digits separated by dashes, such as 00-01-62-d0-3e-66.
Alphabetic hex digits (a-f) can be entered in uppercase or lowercase. This edit box is disabled by
default and is only activated if the check box for Automatically resolve Default Gateway MAC
address is not checked. If the edit box is cleared (no address is supplied), a message is displayed
asking that a valid address be entered.
Automatically Resolve Default Gateway MAC Address
This check box allows you to specify whether the BMC should automatically attempt to resolve the
MAC address of the default gateway router. This box is checked by default unless the MAC address
edit box appears to include a valid MAC address.
If this box is not checked, you must provide the MAC address in the
Default Gateway MAC
Address field.
When the Next button is clicked, the firmware attempts to resolve the gateway MAC address. If
the BMC cannot resolve the address, the screen is redisplayed with the box unchecked and you are
asked to provide the MAC address in the Default Gateway MAC Address field. If the screen is
redisplayed due to a MAC address resolution issue, any user data previously entered, other than the
MAC address information, remains in place.
Backup Gateway IP Address
This edit box allows you to enter the IP address of a backup gateway router. The IP address is
entered as a dotted notation, such as 192.168.0.2.
