Setting iBMC IPv6 Address (ipaddr6)
Function
The ipaddr6 command is used to set the IPv6 address, prefix length, and gateway address of the iBMC.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| ipaddr6 | Indicates the IPv6 address to be set for the iBMC. | An IP address that is 128 bits in length consisting of eight 16-bit fields: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx. However, most IPv6 addresses do not occupy all 128 bits and can be abbreviated. In addition, the two-colon (::) notation can be used to represent contiguous 16-bit fields of zeros, and leading zeroes in a field can be omitted. For example, the IPv6 address fc00:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:1a2b can be abbreviated as fc00:db8:3c4d:15::1a2f:1a2b. |
| prefixlen | Indicates the prefix length to be set for the iBMC. | 0 to 128 |
| gateway6 | Indicates the IPv6 gateway address to be set for the iBMC. | An IP address that is 128 bits in length consisting of eight 16-bit fields: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx. However, most IPv6 addresses do not occupy all 128 bits and can be abbreviated. In addition, the two-colon (::) notation can be used to represent contiguous 16-bit fields of zeros, and leading zeroes in a field can be omitted. For example, the IPv6 address fc00:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:1a20 can be abbreviated as fc00:db8:3c4d:15::1a2f:1a20. |
Usage Guidelines
After an IPv6 address is changed, the new IP address takes effect immediately.
In addition to the IPv6 address, Link-Local Address can be used to access the iBMC. You can run the ipmcget command to obtain Link-Local Address.
Example
# Set the IPv6 address of the iBMC to fc00::6516, prefix length to 64, and IPv6 gateway to fc00::1.
iBMC:/->ipmcset -d ipaddr6 -v fc00::6516/64 fc00::1
Set IPV6 address successfully. Set IPV6 prefix successfully. Set IPv6 GATEWAY6 successfully.
# Query the changed IP address of the iBMC management network interface.
iBMC:/->ipmcget -d ipinfo
