Login Precautions

iBMC IP Address

• For the first time to log in, use the default iBMC IP address.
• After your first login, change the iBMC IP address based on service requirements and keep it secure for subsequent network configuration.

  The iBMC IP address can be changed as follows:

  • Access the iBMC WebUI and change the IP address. For details, see Network Settings.
  • Access the iBMC CLI and change the IP address. For details, see Setting iBMC IPv4 Address (ipaddr) and Setting iBMC IPv6 Address (ipaddr6).
  • Access the BIOS setup utility and change the IP address. For details, see the BIOS Parameter Reference.
  • Change the IP address through the specific interface (SNMP or Redfish) from the upper-layer NMS.
• If the iBMC is configured with DHCP server, the iBMC address will be dynamically allocated.

  You can obtain the iBMC IP address as follows:

  • On the DHCP server, query the iBMC address based on the MAC address.
  • On the upper-layer NMS, query the iBMC IP address of the server managed by the NMS.
  • Query the IP address on the CLI.

iBMC Users

The iBMC supports the following users:

• Local users: The iBMC supports a maximum of 16 local users. The local access mode is deal for small environments, such as labs and small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs).
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) users: The number of users and user rights are set on the LDAP server, which allows more users to access the iBMC. This access mode is ideal for environments with many users.
• The iBMC supports SSO of Kerberos users. The number of Kerberos users logging in to the iBMC is not limited. This access mode offers high security.
